Thanks. I will head in this afternoon and see how she does. Anyone else have to pass emissions in AZ? Any problems?

I have to get my M35A3 emission tested today to get registered in AZ. When I took my GMC and Hummer H1 in, they made me stomp the pedal to the floor several times. Both of the diesel motors have an RPM governor, so it did no harm. Does anyone know if the CAT motor in the A3 has the same, or...

Not sure if my last couple of PM's to you went through. I am interested in 20 diesel Scepter plastic fuel cans. Please let me know if you can oblige. Many thanks.

Glad to hear you had a clean side on the disc. This site has been extremely helpful to me and I hope to give something back by posting on issues not already addressed. Excellent idea on the exhaust pipe and slobber tube. When I went to ease my starter back in, the main ground bolt got hooked...

So, here is the rest of the story. I let the paint dry over the weekend. Last night I reassembled the solenoid/starter. In the photos attached, you can see the end of the solenoid that I referred to earlier. You have to put a wrench on the nut to get the copper disc off of the shaft. I am...

Not sure why the pic did not attach. Here is another attempt.

Here is the update. I looked through the McMaster Carr catalog and did not see exactly what I was looking for. So, I pulled the disc out of the solenoid. To answer Motorcar's question, you have to pull the solenoid off of the starter and get a wrench on the magnet side (held inside the ear of...

Thanks for the feedback. I will attack it again this afternoon, make some calls and post some pics. Best Regards, -djd

My truck had started to give me fits on start up about a week ago. About every 5th attempt, she would be non-responsive. I searched the forum, the internet and the TM's. I took a voltmeter and tested various points down the line. Narrowed it down to the solenoid. For next steps, the only...

My 7 year old's first guess was that they were put on the dash to encourage soldiers to wear their seatbelts. Bet it would work. One face-plant on the dash would leave as lasting impression (pun intended).

Thanks for the quick answer. Living in Arizona, don't know how much use they will be (other than hanging my ear plugs).

I have searched both the internet and on the forum for some clues. Do you all have these things on your A3 dash? What are they for? In the picture, they are a series of small hooks (one set on driver and one set on passenger side). Any help would be much appreciated. (They rattle like crazy...

Here are a few more photos, before the paint.

I would highly recommend Mark to anyone. He was completely honest, easy to deal with and just a good mensch. He even hooked me up with another full set of tires that still smelled factory new. He was a true gentleman to let me out of my deal (to the point of refusing to accept any of my cash...

Many thanks for the warm welcome. The most common question I get from outsiders is "what are you going to do with it". My current response is "have fun". Have any of you come up with a more eloquent response? I am attaching a photo of my 7 year old in the cab from yesterday. I had to...

After much anticipation, I finally took delivery of my new Deuce yesterday afternoon. While I wish I had one of the cool recovery stories that I have read here on the forum, mine is simply the long saga of searching for, finding, paying for and then taking delivery of a Deuce. So, here are a...
