    Can you pull this trailer with a HMMWV?

    You can pull it empty and the height would not be to bad with the 37's on your truck. You would have lights with the MV light connection so for a quick haul back it would not be a problem. Long term a M1101 is the trailer for the HMMVW. I think a HMMVW is over 10k in weight so if your brakes...

    5 Ton brake problems

    Joker, if you take the hubs off you can troubleshoot better and check the bearings. I find that the hub comes off easier than the drum. They do come off. I have posted again in your original post how to get them off. Unless you get the hub off you can not do any troubleshooting. This is...

    5 Ton brake problems

    Joker the hubs come off. Start by taking off the wheel. Loosen the brakes pad against the shoes by turning the brake adjustment bolt heads on the back of the wheel plate. Bang the outside of the hub with a big hammer while rotating the hub. Do this in about 6 different places around the...
