105's need a tall truck pintle location to be usable. That means a deuce or taller vehicle to pull it, hence not anywhere near as much interest in them vs the M101 series trailers. Back around 2010 the M-101 series were selling for $500+ while the M-105's were under $200. 750 now is about what 200 then was worth, but only if you have a deuce to pull it with IMHO.

I can't make the October rally this year. I don't think my head gaskets will hold up for that long of trip. I have a replacement set in the garage, but my old lady's journey just took a 💩 earlier today and literally dumped the entire crankcase full of oil on the ground. I think either something with intake or the oil cooler went out, could have been a head gasket but I won't know until I start tearing into it. I just keep getting more and more projects added to the list with little time to finish them 🤷.

Found out her oil cooler ruptured and it's under the intake 🤦. Why would they put a plastic part under the intake with all that heat? Her car has more problems than what my deuce has and that's comparing a 54 year old truck to an 11 year old car that still has less than 100k miles. At least the part is not God awful expensive, but still, $300 can get me a good ways on tools or parts for my truck, lmao.

Glad you found the problem!

It is amazing how today's vehicles are held together with bubblegum and bailing wire. Meaning plastic that lasts for a few years, then deteriorates into nothing.
