Start with a cheap Digital Multi Meter (DMM) you can get at Harbor Freight for about $10.

You do nice work; I'm impressed with the rewiring. You say that you're new here, well welcome. Your post added some new information, thanks. PS Where did you get the discount coupon?

GL was terrible about wiping out all or part of the relay valve on 103/105 class trailers. I bought 4 from GL and 3 had enough damage that the brakes didn't work properly, also frame damage. While recovering my M109 at Ft. Riley, I witnessed them push a 5 ton expando van sideways and backwards...

I think you should go on this site in the WTB section and see if anyone is scrapping a later M101 or M116 trailer with a surge brake hitch. I have 2 M101s, an older one that I built from Govt. scrap and a newer one completely original with a functional surge brake. I put lots of miles on the...

I give, what makes you think it is vacuum operated? I looked at all the pictures and didn't see anything different from my 2 M105s and my MKT-85. I see the reserve tank and the relay valve attached to it. In fact, the wasp excluder is intact which means the new dealer has one on GL; GL...

From what I was able to find out when I registered my 2 M105s is that the government, at least up until 1990, didn't title trailers. They treated them just like any small piece of equipment like a generator. On my paperwork was a 'LOT NUMBER' which the women used on both of them. BUT someone...

Any hints? I just spent 15 min when I should be working and only found guys talking about using propane for fuel. You must be better at searching than I.

I've been biting my tongue, but now I'm going stupid on this. The bottle is identical to the bottles on propane stoves, would they work? Has anyone done that? What would be bad about it?

Glenn, 91W350, has a wrecking yard in Salina, KS, a couple of hours from you. He's great to work with and probably has whatever parts you need.

Great lookin' puddle jumper, M105 too! One short piece of advice, unless you're being a purist, get rid of those NDTs. In the Reserves in 1974 we lost a truck in a canyon up in the Rockies near the Continental Divide and parked the rest of the convoy 'til the roads cleared. They are terrible...

I'd like to see him do Loveland Pass, it's steeper. Actually I wouldn't, that would be messy. I've already seen one truck miss a turn on the west side. I hope like **** he doesn't still have NDTs or deep lugs on it!! PS In the 244th Engr. Bn, (Army Reserves) we used to haul D8...

I have been considering that kind of swap on my '69 Bronco. I recently kicked the old Falcon transmission to the curb and built an adapter for an NP435. I'd probably want to keep it.

I don't see how leaving the intermediate axle on and changing the rear one would work. The two back axles would be close together and trying to go different direction. Glenn at Salina, KS has made me an offer on a whole front end, but I have only been working 2 weeks after 7 months off, so my...

Maybe this is a dumb question, but are Humvees always in 4 wheel drive? What you described was what driving a 4x4 engages on a hard, dry surface sounds like.

I remember back to when I was learning to drive, way back when it wasn't unusual to see a crank sticking out of a bumper, my dad told me to "NEVER set the emergency brake (parking brake today) in the winter!" I'm chuckling about your experience with a wheel chock on a slick surface; been there...

We may have cold and snow in Colorado, but we don't have serious tornados. I hope all of you guys are safe!!

The make-it-or-break-it for me is getting as much braking as possible and having emergency stop springs. Am I remembering wrong? Doesn't each back wheel have two brake actuators while the front only has one per wheel? My truck's 20 miles away in storage so I can't just go out and look at it...

I am planning to bob my M923 and putting the box off of my M109 on it. A cab-scab like yours would be great! My wife hates the Army cab and refuses to ride in it. I was planning on putting the box right up to the cab and putting the rear axle where the intermediate axle is now. That would...

Kudos to you for getting rid of the 15w40. It is only good down to 10 degrees F. The government uses it in desert environments.

Good info, guys. Thanks. Adamsoffroadperformance, I will keep what you suggested in mind, including your offer to help. Your experience can probably be very useful. I plan to put the new axle in the same place as the intermediate is now because that will balance the box the same way it...
