if it's been refurbed, there will be a tag on it on the pillar there, I haven't heard of any that didn't. There's always the chance the trucks have been sitting in a field somewhere for a couple decades being ignored, but that's highly unlikely. Every vehicle should have gone through refurb at...

The 1400 was cranking amps at 32F (1380, it got rounded up), not the Cold Crank Amps at 0FThe charger will save you from wetstacking the engine and using unnecessary fuel. Batteries that charge really quickly tend to have no actual capacity left in them. Think of it like this, take 2 1 liter...

1) I've never done an oil analysis, and my truck didn't have one listed, so no idea. Most of these trucks spend a large portion of their life being started once a week and idled for 30+ minutes every time, with the occasional drive (or at least that was my experience with them in the Army)...

The 1101/1102 were designed for the HMMWV, so unless you make a hitch to raise the hitch up quite a bit it's going to be nose down. The affects how the surge brakes operate. You can do things like smaller wheels/tires and some people have moved where the axle it underneath it, but it's not...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?99419-M105A2-M103-1990-version 1-10 Equipment Data page has tire inflations on it.

the TM says 50 for highway use, 55 seems like it would still be good. Do the tires say anything on the sidewalls for max pressure?

Pretty sure that's the M116A1 trailer, not the A2. A2 had surge brakes and 8 lug wheels, A1 had no brakes and 5 lug wheels.

will the transmissions stand on end?

I used a 10x10 pop up canopy to cover my truck until I got a top for it. No reason why it can't work. Get one with walls, put up 3 sides, and back the truck under it, then just use a couple strips or something to secure the gaps between the truck body and the opening. Of course, it wouldn't be...

I didn't until you asked. Only took a couple minutes to set up. Don't have the rainfly on, it really does need a couple guy wires if it's going to rain, but should be able to just run them over the fenders with a bungie or a hook to the wheel well. The length is right at the max, it could...

A couple months ago I used a small, 2 man tent in the bed of my 2 man truck no problems. Used a small sleeping pad, and a roll up mattress for a cot. Entrance for the tent was on the side, not the end, but as long as the tent has it's own frame and doesn't require guy wires to hold it up at...

Could do like for the reverse lights circuit, pull from the hot side of the horn. Power will be on anytime the lights are on for running or headlights. Means no reverse camera if you don't turn on the lights or have it in blackout mode, though unless it's a night vision camera I don't see how...

Yeah, to move the tire out just a little. Sometimes they rub a little bit on the parking brake cable is my understanding, this just moves them out a little bit. I just paid like $17 for a pair of 1/2 inch spacer plates on Amazon. Looking at the studs that's probably the absolute thickest...

Actually, what I was talking about is the sheet metal of the 802/803 is mostly aluminum, so putting rivnuts into the aluminum sheet metal will cause you issues later on, not the difference between the bolts and the rivnuts. You can get away with stainless bolts and aluminum rivnuts because of...

Stainless steel and aluminum do NOT play nicely together. Causes a galvanic reaction, where one metal causes the other to corrode at a fast rate. Antiseize forms a barrier between the two parts to help slow/minimize the corrosion, and allow the parts to be separated again, but it's still not a...

unless of course he means the unimog is like a mercedes (or that it IS a mercedes) and comparing it to something with a GM drivetrain...

Unless he has a 12V pulsetech unit and only did one of the batteries, I'd agree that it's not right and would explain the light not working.

I washed my newest trailer. It was one of the HDT Drash trailers with a 35kw gen and 8 ton ECU on it. Guy I bought it from sold the gen separately, and took off the ECU as I don't have anything big enough to run it, and didn't want to spend the extra money to buy it. I'm probably going to...

No worries. I just know for something this size/weight/importance I'd rather have massive overkill (provided it's still easy to move around) rather than the bare minimum.
