    Show Me Your Campers!

    Thread brought back from the dead Very cool ideas and campers. Don't know why this thread ended when so many folks like to make campers out of MV trailers.

    Overcharging after alternator rebuild and new belts?

    ISSOPRO and VDO both make excellent 24v gauges that are plug and play. Seeing actual numbers on gauge is much better than guessing with the stock one. My Alternator numbers are almost same as yours. No issues in over a year.

    Surging when off throttle

    You might also check your fuel pickup sock in the tank. These have been known to cause fuel delivery problems when they get clogged. Just a thought.

    5 new M1009 shocks

    I also have one of those slave port impacts. VERY handy. Mine is 3/4" Was brand new and best $100 I probably ever spent. 1/2" ones are pricey and none around when I was buying.

    Mounting a spare under my M1102

    If the trailer only sees on-road duty, that's a very good idea. I like it. Off-road, the tire would catch/hang on stuff very easily.

    front drive shaft boot?

    Snapper part might be the way to go. CUCVRUS had a NOS one a year ago and I blinked and missed it. Didnt want to pay what he wanted only to find out you can't find them. Would buy it now in a second. I called Spicer and they do not have anything that will fit. Nothing crossed referenced...

    M101A2 wheel studs

    The one on the left in the pic are what both my M101A2's have. Never seen a threaded wheel stud like that before on a M101A2 trailer Worse case is to replace the hub.

    5T is HOME!!

    I waited too late for a new alternator because my trucks are stock and no extra electrical load. They worked fine so why change it?! Working great one day Next day it literally fried and took several electrical components with it. The smoke it produced was some of the most awful I've ever...

    Valve next to radiator

    I disagree Oil doesn't compress. The reading will be the same at the back of engine as the tap point. Maybe more convenient to some, but no less accurate. The oil sample port is the farthest point in the system.

    Valve next to radiator

    It's also a great place to tap into for an oil pressure gauge.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Finally installed NOS GM CUCV bottom seat cover. Was easy. Time consuming, but easy. Found a piece of paper under the old one and was from the last seat cover install in 1998. Now if I could just find a NOS cover for the back
