Took a break from working on my halftrack and finished hooking up my M52A2 up to my goose neck trailer. Built a box with relays for the 12volt lighting and used a battery equalizer for the 12v tap. Did electric trailer brakes and all. Fun project! Don G.

Thanks for the replies, I'll check those items and let you know. I have one question do I have to worry about timing when I remove that cover? Also I apologize for the cross post, I was up very late when I wrote the first one and was kind of nodding off. I didn't realise I had already posted...

Fuel Problem M52A2 Hey I could use some help. My 5 ton was a little hard to start a couple weeks a go. I drove it round and it ran fine so I parked it. Went out to start it Saturday and no start. It cranks over fine. So I checked the fuel stop and it appears to be retracting fine. I checked the...
