I would advise looking at the Fram filters before purchase if you are picking them up at an auto parts store. The last ones I purchased for my MEP003A had the following problems. 1. Oil filter cartridge partially crushed 2. First fuel filter gasket severely crimped 3. Second fuel filter...

Welcome from North Georgia!

David Clarke is a fantastic company for customer service as well as making an excellent product. I sent them a 35 year old aviation headset a few years ago that was in pitiful shape. They reconditioned the headset making it look new and only charged $45.00 with free shipping. They replaced...

Welcome back!

Are they aviation headsets? If so, as Anjay22 stated, they will work quite well - much better than standard headsets.

David Clarke makes excellent aviation headsets. Assuming these are aviation headsets, I would recommend a portable Sigtronics Transcom II intercom unit for small aircraft. I have used one for almost 20 years with zero problems. They are available from many aircraft accessory suppliers. I...

If the truck has been sitting over 10 years, the fuel tank has likely got nasty stuff in it, as well as the fuel lines and filters. If it was me, I would flush out the tank and lines and change the fuel filters prior to starting. I would also change the oil and oil filters just to make sure...

I agree with Gimp. Sounds like water in the fuel. Park the truck level and drain some fuel out of the tank. Any water will be on the bottom of the tank. As Gimp suggested, drain the filters as well. If there is water in the tank, it will be on the bottom and sloshing around as you drive and...

You might want to record them before removal just in case later on you discover that they do correspond to something.

Have you changed the oil and filters yet? If not, you have no idea what is in the crankcase. The oil could also potentially be contaminated with diesel fuel.

Don't forget that you can also shift the transfer case into low range while moving - it is synchronized.

It is much better to charge both batteries together using one 24 V charger. Both batteries should be identical and equally charged. That being said, you have to do what you have to do. Out of power and cold temperatures sometimes dictates what needs to be done. I would do what you did. Good...

Having only seen your photos, I believe that tank could be cleaned up nicely. It's a lot better if you can keep that original tank.

Have you completely eliminated a battery issue? I have a Deuce that had the same symptoms as yours. I cleaned all battery terminals and all connections, including starter and relay and all grounds with no result. Everything electrical worked in the truck, including headlights with full...

I believe the 545 should work fine. However, I prefer the 1545 as I like the lockup feature of the TC. I like when the TC locks up and the RPMs drop. That being said, I haven't had any problems with my 1545 setup. If I had experienced problems, I might have a different opinion.

In Georgia, where i live, diesel fuel containing up to 5% can be legally sold as straight diesel. Anything over 5% biodiesel in blends must be sold as B20 fuel. When I was talking about the bad experience of my friend using biodiesel, I was referring to straight biodiesel, not a blend. There...

I personally think that the use of motor oil may help to shorten the life of these transmissions. After I purged the motor oil from my A3 and switched to Dexron 3, my transmission shifts much more smoothly and much faster than with the motor oil.

Water in diesel and biodiesel fuels can be in three different forms. 1. Free water 2. Emulsion 3. Soluble Biodiesel fuel is much more impacted by water contamination than petroleum-based diesel fuel. Biodiesel fuel is also much more susceptible to microbial growth in the fuel. I absolutely...

I would recommend you contact Terry McClanahan at American Outfitters. He is an AM General dealer and was involved with AM General when A3s were being built. He is the most knowledgeable person I know involving A3s and is always helpful. PM sent with contact info.

I don't know about the MEP802A, but I have an MEP003A. The auxiliary pump won't pull fuel very high and I find it works much better if the auxiliary fuel supply is at least 2 - 3 feet higher than the level of the auxiliary pump. I've had the auxiliary fuel as high as almost 10 feet above the...
