    Rear axle leaky

    It is the outer seal (on the rear) that gives up first and the oil is in the hub, the inner seal is unable to keep the oil from getting past it. The inner seal is good at keeping everthing out but not the oil in. That is why i made these for the coal mine cars. With this seal you do not use the...

    Won my first A3 on GL today

    Yea it would be a 4X4 for that tire. This truck will need alot of small parts, the brake light switch quit, the pass side door latch stripped inside, the air assist steering does not work, the air valve is on.

    Won my first A3 on GL today

    left thursday morning about 8:30 am, got there at the same time friday to pickup the truck. Drove it just down the road to a large parking lot to hooKup the pickup and get ready for the road. I thought this truck would do 55 mpg, wrong - 50 mph at 2,800 rpm and tires would shake your teeth out.
