I regularly pull my 105 with a com shelter back and forth from the storage yard to the house,; about 3 miles with som medium-sized hills (My development is called "Rolling Hills). I have a 1500 lifted Silverado pick up with a small block chevy engine. I allow for longer braking, but never have...
Great job with this very messy task. I did all 4 of the rears first. Made the fronts a little easier I think. Been there, done that. Wish I had your pics when I did it. I know how much work you went through to do this! Thanks again for the great tutorial!

Your M123
Really NICE truck! Don't know if I could transition from my Smart car to a M123! Practicality is not a factor with a 10 ton. Everyone should have one! Congrats on the find.:-)
Same exact thing happened to me. I checked the grounds and then started checking the wires. I found a headlight wire running on one of the brackets on the engine compartment, passenger side side and rubbed through the cloth covering into the insulation. I taped the wire, covered it with wire...
