    My M1009

    The mat looks great but will trap moisture and eventually rust. Hopefully you applied a rust preventative before install.

    M1008 Heater/Blower Motor Non-Responsive

    ACDelco still makes the blower, blower switch, plug and resistor. Rockauto.com or Amazon will have the best prices.

    M1102 Trailer Value?

    They will tow it fine but it looks weird together. Years ago things were a lot cheaper and plenty of trailers. That is no longer the case on both counts

    M1102 Trailer Value?

    Stick with the M101A2. It was designed for the CUCV and matches it perfectly. The M1101/2 looks weird behind a CUCV since it was designed for a completely different vehicle. Two different generations that don’t look good together.

    M101A2 Trailer Questions

    Both mine have a grease zert installed middle of leg. Came from Military that way. Put in too much grease and it will squirt out when adjusting leg.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    The original trailer tongue was a tad too short In sharp turns the trailer will make contact with the tow vehicle. The Military came out with an extension kit to solve the problem. The NOS kits were on eBay but I think the supply dried up. Haven’t looked in quite a while.

    M105 Trailer Question

    Trailer up on blocks, pallets, and foam board under tarp to prevent ponding are excellent suggestions and probably your best bets. It will handle your cargo just fine, but unless it’s parked on a hard surface, the tires will slowly sink into the ground.

    Unique color choice. Don’t forget the reflective tape along the sides and rear.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Used my green M101A2 the last few days. Fairly heavy loads over horrendous Rural roads. Once parked and disconnecting it from the M1008A1, I discovered both frame bolts on right side, under surge brake assembly, were loose. Could spin both by hand loose. Left side was fine. Quick hit with...

    M101A2 Trailer Questions

    Until this thread, I had never seen such an early M101 series with lifting points. Wonder if it was a Unit add-on modification or a spec design change between contracts. Just makes the M101 Trailer series even better.
