Does the 8.3 in the a2 have a turbo on it?

We can not get away with those out here unless they are hidden

It looks like a Chevy cab on a M35A3 chassis. The funny thing is that they kept the hood fenders and grill. I have seen several water trucks locally that have civilian cabs and front ends on military chassis

I need to do a road trip

Personally I am not a fan if the super singles. This come from multiply blow outs over the years on commercial trucks

Cool, like I need another trailer

What do you intent to tow?

USHIP scares me after watching shipping wars

California non commercial liscenses are for RV's. The real issue is if you are driving out of class the LEO can and will have your vehicle towed and impounded. Arguing with a LEO is a recipe for getting a ticket. The cost for the tow and impound could be as much as school to get your CDL.

I like the PLS

For commercial work on the road I would stay away from a m931. For commercial work in general weight is a major issue. How heavy of an equipment trailer do you plan to haul?

Nice cad drawings. What do you plan for the interior.

I carry extra glad hands and seals on the truck it is just sop.

GL always seems to brake the glad hands off of these trailers. The glad hands are a common truck part, If the the street elbow is broken, mcmaster carr has them. You have three options. Tow it with a tractor, air up the tires, add towong lights, see if the brakes will work. Be sure to check...
