Not certain. I think its required after armor was installed on this series of trucks. Found a few pictures of armored M931's with this box on it. The only reason I can think of is something entering cab and exploding batteries in the cab. I was surprised to learn that batteries are riding in...

Bought this kit from a fellow SS member (classifieds). It is a complete kit-new right down to all of the required nuts and bolts, all new cables and bus bars and new heavy duty mounting brackets to frame of truck. The door has a lock tab on it too so batteries will be safer. Instructions are...

Welcome from St Paul, MN. Your idea of buying your first truck from a private seller is a good idea. I bought my first MV from Scott in Blaine (MN). She is an M35A2 and is a great truck. This site and Scott helped me a great deal. It paid off with a good truck.fat lady sings

GL rules show you need proof of insurance before recovery.

I picked one up at Eriks site. I plan on putting it in series with starter relay. Easier to wire and hide that way-no bulky battery cables. Pete

Gary, I am still waiting for our first snow so I can try the Michelins out. Minnesota and no snow yet-maybe Al Gore is on vacation here! I have one A3 with the Goodyears and the other with the Michelins. I cant wait to try them in the snow, especially if it makes my wife more willing to ride in...

Almost forgot-it is imperative you check your fuel tank check valve. It is a sure source of a fuel starve potential problem. The main tank feed sits on top of the large bolt on flange on top of tank. The 90 degree elbow at top needs to be removed to expose an internal check valve. This valve...

Understand how the CTIS works-its hard on axel seals. The system is vulnerable to ice in the lines. Further, it takes a long time to pump up the tires-the CTIS takes a while to minimize the stress it puts on axel seals (they become pressurized on the inside when tire is being pumped up). As far...

Man, now the MAN dont like A3's. :cry:

Nice set up you have. Good workmanship too.

Super nice detailing. You guys do great work-love the details. Thanks for posting these.

Wait till you get to know her.

Put the batteries on a battery desulfator-you may be able to bring them back. 40 bucks for a 12 Volt desulfator (Tender). You could use it on other batteries to stretch their life. Money well spent.

Will do-I think its my front carrier bearing. It has 1/2" plus up and down movement. Hey-we have the same trucks-I have a 71 AM Gen A2.

I took my front axel covers off, raised front end and rotated tires. No slop-no noise and now shavings. My growl is a different issue.

Make sure to take pictures. After replacing bushing, make certain to flush housing to get fines out.

This does not sound good. Its either a complete replacement or discover where the metal is coming from. If there is metal that far out on the axel spindle, and the bearings are fine, it seem that the CV joint might be the culprit.

I will try that with mine.

Gary, I see you have a gun ring. My truck has the three legs but no ring. How hard are these to find?
