Don’t forget to add new freeze plugs to the growing list. Usually a neglected item and they will eventually corrode and leak. Easy with engine out. Nightmare with engine installed.

A can of Seafoam will work wonders on a fuel system. I pour a can in about once a month. Sooner if I drive more than usual. Keeps fuel system happy. Never any issues. Keeping the tank topped off will prevent condensation inside also.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the info

I have a brand new GM backing plate if your still looking for one.

The end looks sheared or snapped in the pic.

Talk about playing with Fire and running with scissors! You were very lucky.

I was not. Had 50 in them. Only time I do 65psi is when I have a heavy load in truck or trailer. Then deflate back to 50 once unloaded. Didn’t hit anything on road either. Just Murphys luck saying hello.

I mentioned what I have mounted on truck in that post. BF Goodrich Commercial T/As Installing new set of Michelin’s Friday.

It’s Monday. Was Headed to get new tires. About 15 miles to go and no warning blowout at 55 mph. Installed set are BF Goodrich Commerical TAs. Not putting same back on. 6 years old and not worn past change indicators. Didn’t bend rim but did bend truck. Tread completely separated as...

Very cool! What does the rest of the trailer look like?

Use a Delphi or ACDELCO part. That pump isn’t fun to change and the cheap one, like you bought, lasted me a whole two weeks. Wanted to get it running ASAP when I first got it home and bought the cheap one. Mistake! I replaced it with an acdelco and it’s been flawless for over two years.

That’s a big, heavy trailer with useless air brakes unless you have a M35/M939 series. Towing is the easy part. Stopping, especially panic stop, is the issue. Ever heard of the tail wagging the dog?

Watching the boat ramp action is a lake ritual. Lake Havasu's AZ public boat ramp is a blast to watch. Any busy lake ramp actually. It’s amazing how many people can not backup a trailer or unload/load a boat., or even remove trailer tie down straps before entering water. Forgetting to...

When was the last time it ran? What makes you think it’s an injection pump issue? As mentioned above, whatever you bring along with you will not be the problem. There are so many variables and possible causes. You can easily transport a GP controller card, glow plugs, GP relay, fuel...

Your M101A2 is worth far more than a M105A2 in equal condition.

Yes Teacher. If I ever need to know how to take an all stock cucv and do modifications to lessen it’s value.......you’ll be the first I contact.

Murphy’s Law: If you trailer it home, the bearings, etc. will be found to be in excellent condition and you could have towed it home no sweat. If you towed it home, a bearing and/or tire would have failed at the worst possible time and leave you scrambling to find parts/tires and having to...

Uhaul has trailers without sides for hauling cars. Whichever company that has a flat trailer will work. I think it’s smart to trailer it home. Who knows what condition the bearings are in.

If It was an hour or two away, I might agree. But a 13 hour trip with an unknown trailer......? Very smart to trailer it home.
