This M101A2 has been a great trailer. Tows great behind the 2500HD I get many questions when I am towing it around.

Newer super duty and 2011 and up GM are metric and will not fit.
Local recyclers or craigslist should give you good results as will Summit Racing.
I have an even more detailed blog on EXPO.
