I am wanting to drain and refill my differentials in my a3 this winter but I have been wondering what brand of Gl-5 do you recommend? After some looking I have found this GearPlus® SAE 80W-90 GL-5 Gear Oil and http://www.pepboys.com/product/details/8078227/ but I would like to know if either...

I will make sure that I get a new o-ring but what kind of lube do you recommend on the bead and o-ring? I read somewhere to use sil-glyde paste from Napa.

I am hoping to break down some more tires on my a3 this winter and since I am going to be taking them apart anyway do you guys think that it would be a good idea to remove the beadlock and scoop out all of the slime tubeless tire sealant? In another post I made, SS members agreed that putting...

I am hoping to change my transmission oil as well but do I have to blow out the cooling lines or can I just drain whatever comes out of the pan, refill, drive it around in all gears, and repeat?

Is it possible that my primary air tank has hardly any pressure in it but my air guage says that the pressure is 120? I have noticed that whenever I shut off the truck and drain the moisture from the tanks, it seems like the primary tanks (the tank closest to the passenger side of the truck) has...

Will the vinyl hose stand up to the heat?

Just to clarify so that I don't mess up anything too badly, what hose should I disconnect to add Marvel Mystery Oil to? to hose with the red x, the orange x, or the blue x (pictured below)? I just want to make sure that I don't add it to the wrong hose and have it travel through the air lines...

OK, I just ran out to the truck because of about four times of reading the other post I realized exactly what was leaking. It is an obvious leak in the large hose that connects the two exhaust hoses of the drag link with the intake. I always knew that that hose had a leak but I never knew that...

Ok, I will try looking again for a leak tomorrow when I have someone turn the steering wheel while I look for leaks. Like AceHigh mentioned about the oil method, what would prevent the oil form traveling through the air lines to the air dryer and ctis manifold?

I still cannot get my steering to stop setting off the low air buzzer whenever I turn. I have purged the air tanks, tapped on the CTIS manifold, turned the steering air supply valve open and closed, and listened for any leaks but no matter what I do I still can't figure out why it makes my psi...

OK, I am glad you and Ace spoke up otherwise it sounds like I would have been in some trouble. Thanks guys

Today I would like to add some Marvel Mystery oil to the air lines in my m35a3. I want to put in the air line that is hooked up to the compressor so that it goes through as many hoses as possible but would that cause any problems with the CTIS and do I need to worry about it going through the...

yeah I use TNJ murray.

So the only time that there should be air coming from the service line is when the brakes are pressed?

Hooked my m105a2 up to the m35a3 yesterday for the first time and It didn't take me very long to notice that every now and then the brakes will lock up. I had already started the trip so I just turned the valve for the service and the valve for the emergency air off. about 5 minutes later the...

I posted this thread in the paint and body works section and didn't get any bites so I want to try this thread in the trailers section instead. I am wanting to to a paint job on my m105a2 and was wondering if anyone was any recommendations of what paint I should use. I was thinking of using an...

I am wanting to to a paint job on my m105a2 and was wondering if anyone was any recommendations of what paint I should use. I was thinking of using an oil based O.D. green and just use a spray gun to apply it but I am open to suggestions.

OK, I will try to keep the ball rolling. Lets see if we can get anyone else to post.

I just picked up a 1984 m105a2 out of Minot AFB in North Dakota. When I went to get it I realized that it looked different from the pictures that GL showed it as but I looked the the GL stickers and its data plate and everything matched what I was supposed to get so I decided to take it anyway...

I had this same problem also but I found the problem on mine. under the steering column right behind the large hose that comes from the heater there is a hose that sometime comes off. In the picture attached shows what it looks like when the hose isn't connected. I marked both the hose and where...
