The only stupid question is the one not asked. 4.90 gearsets make the wheels go faster. Different drive shaft speeds going into the transfer case make for surfaces that were once turning at the same speed now turning at different speeds. This difference is similar to installing lockkouts on the...

...by the skin of his teeth... I didn't realize the train that held the camera was moving until I viewed this clip a few times. WOW!!! Thanks for posting this clip!!:shock: I wonder if there were some dirty drawers after that episode?:doh::eek: SS needs a "just filled my pants emoticon" Tell...

What adds, I never noticed them. Shucks now I'm aware of adds.fat lady sings

That's one serious model railroad!:jumpin:

Another thread indicated that the fuel line gets porous as it ages (causing air to infiltrate and cause prime to be diminished or lost) and one can reach under the intake manifold from the rear to access things under there like fittings for changing the line. I am going to look for super duper...

I bought a M1028 with the alignment spec for 8 alignments in white writer on the interior of the drivers door from GL. It seems the motor-pool never thought to check the wheel bearings!:shock: The tires are scrubbed real bad. the only thing holding the wheel on is the brake caliper. It was too...

Put on them big boy pants, buckle up them boot straps and turn that frown up side down, tap it or get a self tapping screw?!.....:grd:

Brilliant, I didn't think of doing this as well. I have a few beautiful running trucks with varying degrees of hard starting issues. I start with the electric side and do the charging and glow plug testing first and then check the filter base issues as well. This is a perfect next step to...

Your M35A3, like mine is only eligible for an HMV Plate. See the second paragraph below: My A3 is driven allot off-road and needs allot of on-road maintenance runs but it is not an everyday driven on-road. Off road, I try to keep the cobwebs blown out of it frequently though, keep the...

SO that's what the Doghead relay modification is.:doghead:

I want a composite A3 hood; that is light so I can lift it and strong so I can walk on it. Why because customer is king! Time for the 21st century! How about titanium inserts? And carbon fiber. [thumbzup]:hammer::jumpin::mrgreen::grd::driver::doghead::beer::tin hat:fat lady sings

I was thinking of getting the end of an rear axle and welding it to a stand. I would take apart the bearing and super clean it and pack it with petroleum jelly for minimal rolling resistance. Just mount a wheel and let it roll to the heavy spot an add weight until it comes to a stop at random...

Maybe they source fuel at stations from time to time such as a reserve unit transporting something between weekends or who knows what.

If I understand correctly, the dye colors the filters and then used as evidence for use as off-road fuel in the vehicle in question. I never thought of that, Thanks!! I'm going to run a few tanks of fuel through the truck and then change out the filters again!!;)

I have about 10% of fuel tank capacity of road fuel and an unknown percentage of ATF mixed with it in My A3. How long will it take to get rid of the red dye in the ATF with repeated fills of straight road fuel? I don't have a license plate on the truck and run it offroad most of the time. I have...

The engines restart immediately when warm, (restarts after 5 minute shutoffs), the starters have very fast starting rpms. I am going to test the glowplugs first for continuity and resistance versus being burnt out and shorted or an open circuit. I will then check the pressure switch in the...

Resurrecting this ancient thread.......... Resurrecting this ancient thread because I have the same problem with a different solution. The engine turns over but no joy unless I hold the accelerator somewhat open, at least to the 1100-1400 rpm range. I allow the glow plugs to cycle a few times...

I dunno, I think you'd need some pretty big papers.........;)
