Hi... Its me again.
Ok, I am planning on doing a full service tune up and maintenance work to the A3, once I get it here. I am purchasing two of all the filters, one to put on the truck and one to keep as a spare.
Since I have always been one to use the best filters for any vehicle I have had. I want all the CAT Brand Filters, and yes I can hear a bunch of you saying "You don't have to buy CAT, just buy fram or etc." Well I used to work in automotive, and back some years ago, I would have agreed with you on fram. However, for the past few years, I won't put a fram filter on my lawn mower (not kidding either). I have seen two many general quality problems, and total failure in the fram product line. Let alone if the filter itself is really helping much anymore, with the newer cheaper materials.
One time I actually had a fram oil filter come apart when I went to pull it out of the box for a customer. Another time, my brother was driving on the interstate, and his oil light/gauge indicated low oil pressure. Well by the time he was get across several lanes of traffic and over into the emergency lane (road side), his engine locked up. When he got out and opened his hood to see what had happened, he found that the fram filter had collapsed and blocked the oil flow....
Before this gets any longer, I'm turning the rant switch off![Rant Mode :rant: :rant:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/smiley-rant-mode.gif)
Anyway... I have already purchased two of the CAT Oil Filter 1R1807 (CAT's Advanced High Filtration Model) & two the CAT Fuel Filter 7E9763 as was suggested by BadMaster in another thread (Thanks BadMaster
).
The Air Filter that I have found in a couple of posts has Part # P520925. However from what I have found so far, this seems to be a Donaldson part #. Is Donaldson the original Air Filter Brand? Is there a better Air Filter?
BadMaster, and others, show CAT's Transmission Spin-on/External Filter Number is 1R0713. Now my brother has a transmission flush machine, which I was going to borrow. And I have read a couple other posts on here which talk about changing the Alice Transmission fluid from the 15w-40 Motor Oil, To ATF Dextron III or TransSynd, which gives the Transmission a smoother shift and overall action. I believe I will find and use TransSync, as I read it is a higher grade fluid that will last for longer mileage and such. (Please Correct me if these fluid types are incorrect or etc).
Now here are some questions:
First, will the original CAT Trans-filter 1R0713 still be correct filter to use with the new fluid type?
Second: How much ATF Fluid (or number of flushes) will I need to do to correctly and completely flush the Transmission of the old Motor Oil? Can I use the Dextron III for flushing purposes, before filling with TransSync in the final flush?
Third: If I am going to perform the Trans Flush, when should I change the internal filter? After the 1st Flush? Obviously before the final fluid type is pumped in.
Any tips on the trans fluid type flush and change over.
Thanks Everyone!
Edit: P.S. Something else I am going to do, is to make sure that All the drain plugs on the truck are Magnetic Plugs. If they are not, I am replacing them with Magnetic Plugs. I have seen this work on vehicles we had in the past. It really Makes a Difference in the life of the Fluid, Filter, and ultimately the life of the transmission itself, by pulling all the fine metal particles out of circulation and keeps them from continuing to pass through the vital components.

Update: Since I have yet to find one place here on SS which has ALL the filter numbers for the M35A3,
(as the Deuce Wiki in the A3 section is missing the internal trans and air filter #'s. Plus it apparently also has a miss type on the fuel filter - wiki has "73-9763" instead of "7E-9763")
I thought I would post what #'s I have found in my research over the past several days. I got these number from different SS Threads, and others by searching on google. The filters that I have listed below are not the only filter brands that will work, but are the best and/or original O.E.M. filters that I have found so far. Hope this helps!![Mr. Green :mrgreen: :mrgreen:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
M35A3 Filter Numbers:
CAT Brand - High Grade Advanced Filtration Oil Filter # 1R-1807
CAT Brand - Fuel Filter # 7E-9763
CAT Brand - External/Spin-on Transmission Filter # 1R-0713
If you need a filter to use while "flushing" your Transmission, while purging the old motor oil that was being used by the military out of your transmission. You can use save some $'s by using the lower cost Napa External/Spin-on Transmission Filter # FIL 1268 and then change to the CAT Filter listed above after final drain, and before final re-fill of either Dextron III or Transynd Transmission Fluid.
Allison Brand - Internal/In-Pan Transmission Filter & Gasket Kit #29506392
***Have not found anyplace to actually order the Allison Brand Internal Transmission Filter. However Eriks Military has the same #, but I'm not 100% sure if it is a real Allison or other brand #29506392. If nothing else can be found, **Napa Brand is below:
**Napa Brand - Internal/In Pan Transmission Filter & Gasket Kit # ATP 14959
O.E.M. Engine Intake Air Filter - (also available at Eriks Military) #5743562
Haldex - "Pure Air Plus" Air Dryer Filter & Small Parts Kit (this keeps your compressed air system dry and clean, which is important since it is used to power your Brakes, Assisted Steering, and more. Also available at Eriks Military) Kit # DQ6026
Does anyone know of any other filters on the A3? Have I missed/forgotten any filters?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
