I did this to my truck last year with exception of moving the batteries.

I have won 5 Oshkosh wheels from Oklahoma City. They are just sitting on pallets and need to be shrink wrapped or banded to pallets before I can ship them. I am in St Paul, MN so wont be able to do this. Willing to pay for a member to go on the base with some shrink wrap and prep for transport...

Exhaust air tube That hose is a duct that channels exhaust air to air intake on engine. I have seen an a2 with factory air o mastic on it. It did not have this ducting. Just had air exhaust fittings. Maybe they went to ducting for deep water operation- the duct would prevent water from getting...

Mines does this-it cant be good. Even throwing it into neutral while still get the harsh down shift. I have spoke to an Allison shop in my area (Mpls-St Paul)-they have a guy experienced with the transmissions in these trucks. Told me that it may be the modulator or possible a spring in the...

Ericks Military surplus has automatic ones for sale at about 55 bucks each. Peye

The bottom of the air tanks has a 90 degree turn ball valve. Should drain every day. I usually do after every three drives or so. Am considering automatic drain valves for my truck. Pete

Old TV set with real thick antena. Pete

I am back at work and have located the first page of install manual. I have a Hot Start SB heater. It looks like its perfect for the plumbing on an A3. There is a hose that comes out near the water pump that I intend to tap my heater into. Look at the diagram-its perfect. Pete

I bought a few of them from an ss member I think he dtill ha some listed in parts ads The a3 is perfect for install Think they are called hot shot Pete

Mine if intact but left off on both my A3's. I dont like the idea of pressurizing the axel and pushing on the seals. Have no reason to air up or down either. It seems like a crude belts and suspenders system anyway. Pete

She needs a set of lock outs. Pete

Will do. I think you are on to the issue here-the wheels being so close together may demand the wheels/tires be near perfect. Pete

I had never heard of balance beads so went to a site to learn. Looks like they work so will try them. Counteract Balancing Beads - Balancing the wheels of transportation, Improve fuel economy, Increase tire life, Reduce vibration, Reduce maintenance, Balance from truck to trailer, Trouble free...

I have dealt with Andy too on more thban one occasion-he has been great to work with and a decent guy.

The whole deal on 5 minute cool down is more to save the spinning turbo. If you drive one mile wide open-you need to let it idle for 5 minutes to allow spinning turbo to slow-with the engine not running, there is no oil flow to turbo bearings. If you drive for 1 hourt but stay out of throttle...

Looks like he likes chocolate cake! St Bernards are way cool-cooler still if you put a small barrel under hus neck. Pete

Given the steering linkage controls a valve that operates the two articulation cylinders, the only way to make this beating up stuff would be for the engine to be running to power the hydraulic pump and would need some operating the steering wheel. The articulation cylinders slave off the...

Jeff, Thanks for the picture. I see that angle brace in the picture and will check to see how mine is spaced. I had the 11's and now have the 14's on combat rims. I bet the bed is simply a little further back on the trucks with larger tires. It looks like 1" to 1 1/2" would do-maybe just slot...

I have an MK48 with trailer. Mine is smooth all the way to about 45. After that, at times it feels a bit like my A3 death wobble before I put new tires on her. I drive at 40 MPH and she is smooth. Anything over that, and she feels like she could start shaking her head if the conditions are just...

The sketch shows a plan view of this. If the tire can get past the pinch point it will fit. I am really curious as to how others with factory fattys have theirs arranged. Wondering if the intake snorkel is different. Pete
