Thanks Ron, I'll know more when I change fluids throughout the whole truck. Hopefully it's just that rear axle, everything else seems fine. I'll be picking up a replacement axle on December 2, hopefully I can start with the axle swap that following weekend.
And thanks for your service in...
LOL, I was wondering how long it was going to take! :wink:
I was so intent on loading it, I didn't notice how tall it really was until I stepped back to gather up my chains & binders....then it hit me & I thought "HOLY CRAP, that thing sure looks bigger on the back of a trailer!!!" No worries...
Hi Jerry, thanks very much! Sorry it's not an A3 like you told me to get... :smile: My wife can live with this bargain, not so much the cost of an A3.
The original owner said he bought it from a GL auction in California and used it for work for a couple of years, before a disgruntled...
Very true, and I couldn't find where it leaked out from either. I hope I don't have to replace the master cylinder. I was going to fill & bleed this weekend, but then realized that I need to swap axles first, so I don't waste brake fluid. I'll check afterwards, if it's leaking, then there...

Air starters are popular in Australia. As an emergency reserve, some Aussie truckers carry connectors for their tires to power the air starter.
There's a lot of compressed air in Deuce tires.
I have a 1948 Caterpillar D4 crawler with a pony motor for starting; it's BEE-YOTCH to use. It has...
WOW, what OUTSTANDING and FIRST-CLASS engineering and fabrication on the disc brake kit! VERY impressive, I'm going to have to save up for this for sure... WOW, just WOW!!!
CRAP! Sorry fellas, I looked but obviously didn't look hard enough....
Now I feel really stupid since 100% of the proceeds went to charity, to help military vets in post-service careers, etc... I wish B-J would have pointed this out, that would explain the higher price. The buyer really...
