I'm not saying you are wrong. Almost anything is possible. However, I have never seen an in-tank pump on an A3 and the TM doesn't show one. Are you sure you aren't hearing the check valve clicking and echoing in the tank? The fuel pump is located on top of the governor and is mechanically...

The A3 wheel and tire is about 385 pounds. If you let the spare drop make absolutely certain that you don't have a lug wrench on the shaft. Another Steel Soldier can tell you about his hospital visit as a result of that. Also, the latching mechanism will tend to skip and let the wheel drop...

I would pay the $15.00 and forget making a bracket.

You can always put it on a DVD and mail it to WM.

Forget the CTIS. Mine works, but it limits you to 45 PSI for the highway, which is way too low. I run 55 - 60 PSI in the tires and the truck runs much better and the A3 death wobble is reduced. The tires are rated to 80 PSI, but the two-part wheels are red-lined at 60 PSI so I never exceed...

You can find used A3 wheels in good condition if you look. I needed a new tire and found a new tire already mounted on a wheel, and it didn't even leak. A good way is to look for posts where someone is bobbing an A3, because they will have two unused wheels. I hope your recovery went well.

A2s have a primary pump located in the tank. Flipping the long switch as you called it (the master) will turn the pump on in an A2. In an A3, there is no in-tank pump. The pump is located on top of the governor assembly and is mechanically driven by the governor. The pump will not fill the...

You are correct - sometimes it is not that easy! First off, you mentioned filling the filter with diesel before installing. That is a good idea, except it won't work on the 3116 engine. The filter screws on facing down, so the diesel will pour out. Now for the potential problems. On my A3...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers from the North Georgia Mountains!

Congratulations on finally getting your title. I know what you went through geting my A3 titled. The group in Atlanta at the main state title office is worthless. The one woman kept telling me that I had a HMMWV, just a big one. I had zero problems titling the A3 at the Towns County office.

It had oil in it, in fact I had just changed the oil and cleaned the oil filter. The engine turned over freely before the lockup. I think I'll pull the head. Fortunately, parts are readily available.

Ma Duce, as I mentioned in my PMs, do an advanced search on this site for A3 recoveries. You will find a lot of good information for your recovery. Where is the GL location you are recovering from?

Welcome from North Georgia! Good luck finding a deuce.

You may be looking at the CTIS manifold or the air dryer. There are only two airtanks on an A3. There are several diagrams on the compressed air system on an A3 in the TMs, but they appear in different sectiions, CTIS, brakes, compressor, power assist steering, etc. I agree, they can be very...

Vehicles, airplanes, etc. that utilize 24 VDC batteries are actually 28 VDC systems. The alternator / generator has to put out higher voltage than the batteries in order to charge them. You should be able to run your 28 VDC light.

Ditto! That Solargizer won't recharge a battery.

I blew a tire during the recovery of my A3 last January. I called for help to change the wheel. That was some of the best money I ever spent having those two guys change that 385 pound wheel for me at 0430 in the morning in the blowing snow. Unfortunately, I didn't watch them close enough and...

Man, you have one nice collection! Outstanding condition. I was taught not to be jealous, but I am jealous.

Well, I think I screwed up. I have a 30D36R Wisconsin Robin 3KW genset I got from GL a while back. Never ran, but looked almost new, only missing the fuel filter. I replaced the fuel filter, but still could not get it to run. A friend came over and convinced me to shoot some starting fluid...
