Plural?
1500lb axle is way light on a trailer that weights almost that empty.
Almost all private ones I’ve seen have been jacked with in one way or another.
Hence....Wanting it straight from Military.
That’s my personal preference.
Around here, the prices are always much higher than auction prices.
I’ve seen some good deals but in the wrong areas.
Transport costs kills the deal.
I think it’s a little more in depth than just the column switch.
Search the forums as it’s been covered in detail before on what exactly you need to do.
I can find them for sale from private sellers all day long.
I’m talking about government (Military) owned ones that come up for auction.....or used too.
I don’t “need” another one, I “want” another one and prefer my rolling stock straight from Military, not private owners.
That’s just me...
Didn’t see that one.
Maybe their like the 5 tons.
Very few for auction every week now, but I see dozens upon dozens in the background of the GP pictures.
Same story with the M105A2’s.
They were almost giving them away not long ago and now it’s a few here and there.
Definitely not cheap...
I haven’t seen any at auction for quite some time now.
Wanting another one and none to be found at auction.
I know there are plenty for sale from individuals, but I prefer mine straight from Military.
GP was selling them weekly and then they slowed to a trickle and now nothing.
Anyone seen...
The surge brakes are wonderful when properly maintained.
The M101A2/3 trailers were not very well maintained by the military and can be a bit pricey to bring back to life.
The surge shock being one of the most expensive items to replace.
Money well spent as these are great trailers.
Once...
Good idea.
Will have to check it out at Harbor Freight after our ice storm passes.
Could use small Crane like that in my M101A2.
Edit.
Looked at the website
Handy item for sure
Looks like I’ll have to get one.
Which surge brake assembly?
M101A2/3 or M1101/2?
Just saw a brand new military surplus brake assembly for the M1101/2 on eBay a few days ago.
Croft Trailer usually has the prices and have excellent customer service.
They do have the best price available for the M101A2/3 assembly’s shock...
New replacements can be found.
Check the classifieds section here and if no luck, then check eBay.
Their usually on there.
New Military connectors can also be found on eBay.
Usually a SS member will have some connectors to help you out.
Congrats on the truck and welcome to SteelSoliders.
Your on borrowed time.
As mentioned, it only works for so long and then it will fail completely.
It’s telling you it needs fixed and ignoring the warning signs by still tapping on it will definitely leave you stranded at the worst possible location, in bad weather and during a time when...
Grease there would be great but I drive on dirt roads and pastures a lot and encounter lots of dust.
The spray lube works good and doesn’t collect the dirt like grease would.
If it was greased, I would end up with a clod of dirt and lots of extra wear.
When I wash the engine, I clean the...
The 6.2L couldn’t be ANY easier to work on.
My Duramax is a nightmare and parts are expensive.
I just spent $400 on new GM fuel injection preformed hoses.
Injectors alone are over $800 each.
Lower radiator hose is $350
......you get the idea.
I know it’s comparing apples to oranges but...
I just bang on hood above the latch with my fist after pulling cable.
The latch is dry and friction is holding it down.
Just a Firm smack and not trying to break my hand.
When mine does this, it’s time to relube the latch.
Then no issues until dust, etc dries it out again.
