    What Trailer Has Pintle Hitch On The Rear?

    M332s are air over hydraulic brakes (the brakes are actually applied by brake fluid just like a normal car/truck.. .. a Surge Brake like what is on a 101a2, 105a3, or 1101/1102 trailer would be a pretty easy conversion and you would be in great shape..

    What Trailer Has Pintle Hitch On The Rear?

    Good looking setup, Congrats. There are tarps for those trailers available also, makes them look even better. I have also seen on this site within the last week or two a member used the M101 trailer side panels and tarp on the bed of a 1008 and it looked very sharp.

    What Trailer Has Pintle Hitch On The Rear?

    I have a few paid under $300 each at auction. Added: Also don't try hooking two of them together without putting at least 150lbs in the front of the first trailer.... the 2nd trailer will make you lose all tongue weight on the first trailer and be very unstable without the added weight.

Governor...

    I am using my phone at the moment, but all the computers in the house have the same message "error 503". We have reset the router, cleared cache, and tried logging on with Firefox and Internet explorer. No luck still 503 error, any more options. (All other websites seem to be doing just fine)

    Are exhaust stacks illegal on a pickup truck?

    Your answer will have to come from your state... every state is different and also how it is enforced is different. Not that is applies to you but here (Great Republic of Texas), Stacks are Legal. Just because one trooper says they are not legal doesn't make it true, do some research about...

    New shoes for hard working deuce.

    I think G177s would be a good choice, they are a bit larger than your current tires but would not require any modifying of the truck

    M925A2 to M932LA2 Conversion

    Is this with the Stock OEM turbo?? Have you installed the "Those Military Guys" air filter upgrade yet? I helps some but a complete new air inlet system would still be a big improvement.

    M925A2 Mechanical Engine Oil Pressure Gauge, Swapped In

    ALL of this and, at 400-600 rpm idle... 10-20psi is still acceptable. General rule of thumb is 10psi per 1000rpm is good.
