Hey Gem,
Well, that does sound like the air pack. I'm not an expert on it, so anyone with a better idea, please feel free to chime in. Here's my thoughts.
When I got my A3, I sprayed a little rubbing alcohol mixed with marvel mystery oil into the feed on the air compressor. I did the same...
We are loving the way it's turned out. As a drop at base camp trailer, it's awesome. Lots of space, room for tools and extra gear. I was worrying it was going to be a inadvertent dump truck though. Fortunately the balance is good where it is. The reptile part of my brain is saying it needs...
Steve,
It's a da*n sexy truck. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
Congrats, welcome to the 3 club where even the ugly trucks get to go out on a date. Usually because they put out more horsepower. We do have a reputation to think about.

Hey Henderson,
If your hose just has a couple of kinks that suction close, I've used hose clamps at those points to keep the hose circular. Not a permanent fix, but might get you by for a bit.
You got me on the priming. Maybe a one way valve so when you shut down the pump, it won't drain...
Welcome to the fun! I'm not the smartest guy on the site, but I think what steve 6x6x6 said is likely to help. The a3 has a split system with the front brakes on a different hydraulic "circuit" than the back brakes. I believe he just gave you the means to adjust them a little.
Things to...
End result
Here she is. 6200 lbs total, 600 lbs front tongue weight, 4 inches of tire clearance.
Tires didn't line up the way I hoped for as we had some adjustments to re-balance the weight. Box wasn't quite evenly weighted front to back, it almost seemed too heavy in the back. Odd...
Well, if you add m200 and m109 together, which is what this is. Back story- we bought and used a m109a3 to move our gear to Seattle from SLC. Of course, there were many other reasons to buy one, mostly because we really wanted one. What a great excuse moving was.
After moving we started...
Thanks Henderson. and everyone else. Joe is safe at home and it only cost him two pizzas. So is his deuce, to his delight. Unfortunately it was too dark for photos, but the A3 pulled him home just fine, and my fire breathing girl steered the patient while Joe ran interference in his chevy...
I've got the tow bars and my a3 setup for picking him up this evening. If anyone has an earlier/easier setup, give me shout or let him know!

Hello! I enjoyed a brief vacation, and am now back to work on the truck. I've started the truck a couple of times to keep the juices flowing, and added a quart of Marvel mystery oil to the oil. Here's the scoop.
The noise is reduced at the moment, almost gone on startup. When the oil...
Can I throw an idea at ya ripcord? If you can drain the fuel out, then fill it with water. Then a torch isn't nearly as scary an idea, or grinder. My dad used to say, he'd weld on a talk full of fuel, but not an empty one. empty, or partially empty go boom. Full ones burn a lot. He was a...
lol.. don't hurt yourself kicking you. Plus, if you're not having a good time or laughing, you're wasting breath.
Utah is currently testing 80 mph on the interstates in limited areas. Montana once held the standard of fair and reasonable speed. It's now limited to 75, changed this year...
Go hooPer go! Hey gold eagle, nope, it's legal in at least Montana, and parts of Utah. Not that hooPer is going there, but he could. I think in both states he'd be more likely to get a citation for bravery rather than speeding. Hooper? Race you to Montana? :-)
Yes! I knew you'd get the spirit Recovry4x4. I'll bring a HD cam and some hot dogs. For the weanie roast that's sure to happen.
Anyone want toasted buns?
Then stand closer to the fire!
you like the abuse? :-) I knew there was a reason we get along.
Wait, let me stop people right away.
Hooper, if you don't use the search, it will gum up the server. No, seriously. Stop gumming up the server.
