Oil all 3! I usually put it in the supply and let it work to the others as it goes, but any are OK.

I could be wrong but that leak does not matter at all. In my A2 with air assist steering those hoses do not exist and when I turn I get a real cool "whoosh". I am betting you can either tape that hole closed or just cut the hose in two and seal off the part going to the air cleaner.

I had the exact same problem, started out very rarely, became worse over time until it took about 5 minutes to build air at start up, then I still could not drive as turning the wheel set off the buzzer. Did the air tool oil routine, no joy. Finally I went under the truck with a hammer...

Rvnlrrp,welcome to the site. The drivers side rear air line for the trailer is not active till you push the brake pedal, and even then there is a quarter turn valve behind the gladhand. The passenger side gladhand should have 100 to 120 psi all the time the air system is up. The CTIS just has...

It will screw up the air dryer and the CTIS manifold.

I will get a picture next week- the truck is at work and I am not! :beer:

Jay is right, if you are getting water into your tanks on a M35A3 your air dryer needs servicing bad.

I just "cured" my problem. It started with occasional low air warnings, finally got worse till it took forever to fill the tanks. I could not turn the wheel without the buzzer going off. Did the air tool oil fix, but that did not work. Got under it and started tracing air lines and found a...

Ham radio field day is approaching. I always take a deuce out to the site, usually the A3. Nice pictures.

Does a 650 mile trip in a deuce qualify you for a purple heart or something? :) Glad to hear the trip went well. Pictures are a requirement.

Try the A2 manuals. The winch itself is supposed to be the one used on the A2 but powered hydraulically. I think.

The axle housing is not pressurized, otherwise the seals would pop. I take the transmission filter off and let it run into a pail so I am not sure of the pressure, but the transmission does put out a lot of fluid in a short time.

Rossbart, I have two trucks with no regulators. I got the bypass parts at Lowes. The regulators seem to serve almost no purpose as these units are designed to use on trucks with up to 250 psi and ours only run up to 130.

Mine has done the black squares thing a time or two. I just turn it off and on till it goes back to normal.

Here is a thread on how to. Still have not found the pics yet. How to replace a tire on your A3.

Clarke, the guys on M35A3.net (Mike and Rodman) perfected a relatively easy way to do it with an engine hoist. The O rings are around and not too expensive. I think the O rings and wheels are rated at no more than maybe 65 psi.

No, sorry. Of course, I don't even remember breakfast today. :) I was able to get the threads out by sticking a knife in and twisting it. Just matched those up. It is a hex head brass plug. Sorry I can't help more. BTW Napa carries it online. I found it and tried to get my local NAPA to...

It is standard threads. Mine broke and I just went to Lowe's and got a brass plug in plumbing. I never could see the coolant in it anyway.

Congrats! :beer:

It is not hardened against electrical spikes! Note resistor R5 on the far right of photo.
