It had oil in it, in fact I had just changed the oil and cleaned the oil filter. The engine turned over freely before the lockup. I think I'll pull the head. Fortunately, parts are readily available.

Ma Duce, as I mentioned in my PMs, do an advanced search on this site for A3 recoveries. You will find a lot of good information for your recovery. Where is the GL location you are recovering from?

Welcome from North Georgia! Good luck finding a deuce.

You may be looking at the CTIS manifold or the air dryer. There are only two airtanks on an A3. There are several diagrams on the compressed air system on an A3 in the TMs, but they appear in different sectiions, CTIS, brakes, compressor, power assist steering, etc. I agree, they can be very...

Vehicles, airplanes, etc. that utilize 24 VDC batteries are actually 28 VDC systems. The alternator / generator has to put out higher voltage than the batteries in order to charge them. You should be able to run your 28 VDC light.

Ditto! That Solargizer won't recharge a battery.

I blew a tire during the recovery of my A3 last January. I called for help to change the wheel. That was some of the best money I ever spent having those two guys change that 385 pound wheel for me at 0430 in the morning in the blowing snow. Unfortunately, I didn't watch them close enough and...

Man, you have one nice collection! Outstanding condition. I was taught not to be jealous, but I am jealous.

Well, I think I screwed up. I have a 30D36R Wisconsin Robin 3KW genset I got from GL a while back. Never ran, but looked almost new, only missing the fuel filter. I replaced the fuel filter, but still could not get it to run. A friend came over and convinced me to shoot some starting fluid...

There is something I don't understand here. The spare tire does not have a CTIS wheel valve, weight, or any tubing. Simply mount it and use it. If you have another wheel besides the flat you removed with a cracked piece of tubing, temporarily remove the tubing from the wheel with the flat...

Correct. The winch uses motor oil.

What you are talking about is a classic cra* design on the A3. The two hoses that come from the air actuator go into the Y-fitting. This is bled into the semi-rigid wire-wrapped black hose you mentioned. Every time you turn the steering wheel, the wire-wrapped hose is flexed, but this type of...

First, read the TMs. Second, remove all battery cables and clean all connections. Recharge each batter separately with a 12 VDC charger. Re-attach all battery cables. Turn on accessory switch and attempt to start engine. If the engine starts, check charging circuit output. The needle...

I would recommend flushing the system using the drain and fill method several tmes to make sure you get the water out. Then change the filter. The correct filter for your winch is a FleetGuard HF6710. I found an NOS filter on Ebay real cheap. I've already purged the motor oil from my Allison...

I think a waiver for both Steel Soldiers and the GA Rally are an excellent idea for any event such as the GA Rally. It will only take a second to sign and I don't think anyone would object.

Plus, the rubber mats in the A3 cause rust and corrosiion under the mat. There is no such thing as an M35 that doesn't leak water. Someone can always spray bedlner on the floor. I've considered doing that myself.

This was the best rally ever and those that missed it have no idea what a great time they missed! I agree with many of the recommendations already made, but here are my two cents. SUBJECT: Sanitation DISCUSSION: The number of portable toilets was inadequate and they were not cleaned...

This was my third GA Rally and it was definitely the best. People that didn't go have no idea that this is the best rally in the country! I can't believe I have to wait until next year. I'm already making plans.

Rossbart, The three choices for the transmission are: 1. Motor oil - same as the Army used. Not the best choice in my opinion. 2. TranSynd by Castrol. Excellent fluid but very very expensive. 3. Dexron III equivalent. I switched to Dexron III. Do not use any other Dexron as they are not...
