I have no idea what those wheels are, but those are definitely not A3 rims. You can tell from the number of nuts securing the two wheel halves.

It looks like you have a heater from your avatar. Make sure the heater blowre switch is off as the heater is not powered through the master. Otherwise, do as others have suggested. You have a current draw and you need to isolate it circuit by circuit.

Caveats on the CTIS being operated in cold weather. 1. The CTIS should never be used below +20 F. and the ECU should be turned off. 2. Above +20 F. the CTIS should not be used (ECU turned off) before the truck is driven a minimum of 3 - 5 miles. 3. Anytime the CTIS is not being used, the...

Pete, The 14.5 X 20 Michelins do really great in the snow. we had several feet of snow last year and my F-150 4X4 was stranded. My A3 with the Michelins climbed right through the snow and was our only transportation the 10 miles to town for a few days. Made my wife like it better! The tires were...

Undo the bolt and tap the side of the housing with a small block of wood or hammer handle. Don't hit it so that you dent the housing. It will pop loose.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! You have come to the right place and have gotten started off right, by reading the posts. There is a lot of information here. You should also start reading the TMs on the A2, especially the operators manual. You will enjoy your A2 when you find it.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! Ditto on the VIN Info Thread.

I'm glad to see that all went well. I've had no starter problems, but probably only a matter of time.

Sorry Pete. I now remember - I must be getting old. I should probably put some biocide in mine as well, although I haven't seen any problems yet.

Ditto. Also, there should not be any screws to remove to lift the floormat. However, be very careful as it is very easy to rip the rubber mat, especially if it is cold. If you spill it under the mat, it is a real mess to clean up. Also, make sure the transmission is thoroughly warmed up and...

This is off-topic from the original post, but it sounds like your check valve on the top of the tank is plugged up, which is a very common problem with A3s. After changing the fuel filter, the A3 should fire right back up without difficulty if everything is clean.

I thought of the parking brake also, but the OP said that the truck rolls freely forward and reverse, which would eliminate the parking brake.

I found some D-2 Bendix at that price, but they were either re-manufactured or had the incorrect pressure ranges. However, I didn't try Truck Pro. I would have liked the $20.00 price better!

Take outs are fairly easy to find for a reasonable price. Classifieds.

Can you see any damage on the injector itself? If you heard a 'pop', it sounds like something let go in the injector allowing gas to escape and the leak is not past the threads. Are the threads intact?

The Bendix D-2 compressor unloader seems to be a common item to fail on M35A3s with the Cat 3116 engine. I replaced mine several months ago and I've received a lot of questions from other A3 owners about replacing a failed unloader. The symptoms on my A3 was that the compressor did not...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! You've come to the right place. You will enjoy your deuce - they are great fun and very useful on a farm.

I have never had a problem with my selector switch sticking, but what you remember, sounds like it might be reasonable. Have you tried searching on the Smokstak forum?

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! You've come to the right place for answers, but as mentioned above, you need to repost the question in the CUCV forum with a good title. However, first you should use the advanced search function and see if your question has already been asked.
