The quick link goes on your tow vehicle, not the trailer chains. The trailer chain hook engages the quick link hanging off your bumper.

I'm pretty sure mine are failing. They are only about three or four years old, but they're Bosch brand I got on ebay and I don't think they were all working when I put them in. My symptoms sound like yours; I cycle the glow plugs two or three times, foot half way in, crank, doesn't catch. But...

I never screw anything together anymore unless the threads are coated with antiseize compound first. It makes life a lot easier later on.

I picked up a couple of these at home depot. Easier.

Here's my converter box that I made to tow my M1101 with my WK Grand Cherokee (Hemi) and still be able to move the trailer with the M1009. I should have used a larger box because my plan was to put a cigar lighter plug in it to run a light or whatever. The coil cord was from e-Trailer, the mil...

I think they're rated for a payload of 2740# max.

The M11101 and M1102 trailers are identical. The only difference is the data plate. Both trailers have the same weight capacity; the numbers on the data plate are for the soldier to determine whether his vehicle is allowed to tow it.

Sorry for another question: So right now the axle is only attached at the sides, and not on top (up through the frame rail)?

Thanks! I'll be interested to hear how it behaves with a heavy load.

Uh, you glossed over this part a little... Mounted how? Glue? Bolts? Rivets? I haven't been under mine in a while but if the frame is a big rectangular tube, how did you get a nut or bolt inside it? With the trailer level, what is the tongue height off the ground? Thanks for the...

It refused to hold onto my big umbrella, :mad: so I don't recommend it for that.

I built my portable adapter. I can pull the mil trailer with my M1009 or my Grand Cherokee.

Nothing that doesn't involve a two hour drive each way. Living out this far makes it difficult; you have to take what's local. What's wrong with the aluminum wheels?

Day 32 of my cold/flu and felt human enough to get some work done. The pics explain what I did. Connections other than ground are soldered and heat-shrinked inside the box. The grounds got soldered eye connectors and a screw post inside the box in case I ever need to add a ground for...

I picked up four of these complete with bald tires, center caps, and spiders for $100. They'll need some work and paint. Will I be able to reuse the existing lug nuts with these wheels?

I wouldn't mount anything there; there's a reason that panel is smooth the way it is. It can change a minor accident from a walk-away-with-some-scratches thing to permanent disability. Just my two cents...

On my Crown Vic I just disconnected at the trans and let it pump itself out. Now I have a vacuum pump and a two gallon glass medical bottle and pull it out through the dipstick tube. Makes filter changes a lost less messy.

Play hardball. Tell the guy you have $350 take it or leave it. In any event, get the one in the truck rebuilt and drive that. If the seller agrees to $350, keep it as an emergency spare, use it for self-training and rebuild it yourself, get it rebuilt professionally and keep it as a spare...

I noticed the truck has been dogging lately and realized it's been almost three years on the fuel filter. I've been running about four gallons of used motor oil and transmission fluid, which I suspect has been cleaning the gunk out of the fuel system. With the vacuum pump to pull the diesel...

How about these? 16.5 8-lug dually wheels off 1970's Dodge motor home. They're cheap, but I'm not sure how common 16.5" tires are outside the military.
