Young Guns got it. I pried and twisted and strapped the first few, and then watched a boot stomp put one in, and a pull remove one. Pretty easy.
-boot stomp: put one side of the beadlock in the tire between the sidewalls and the other will sit up on the edge of the tire. Literally, stomp...
@scopionf89- Dude, I welded the alternator bracket back together on side of freeway on my A3. That's truth. I used the computer to do it. That's lying....
Oil in the transmission----
Well, to be quite honest mine still has it in there. A good friend who has bought 6 or 7 a3's so far has...

I read your post. Great idea of using the deuce to haul around an old chopper!
Here's my late 2 cents. I have 395's on my a3. They are nothing short of awesome. I can cruise all day at 55. I occasionally sneak up to about 58. It's an easy fix for your blues.
Now, about that...
Hey Deuce007. Well, it's more likely you have a clogged valve on that tank. See if when you open it if you can use the tube from a wd40 can and poke it up there. Then, it looks like you're breaking out the manual!
Tire and o-ring update.
After getting 4 new rims, I put 395's on the m35a3. With a few hundred miles on them now, I can report that I LOVE driving the truck on the freeway. I had 5 great working rims, and two with leaks that were still being problematic. That got solved today with new buna n...
Hey 1 Patriot of many,
On your inner seal, it's pretty easy to replace. It's just a o ring, and you can get them from mcmaster carr. I'll see if I can find the part number, but I think I got them from a search here.
But I don't think that's what's pressuring your axles. That seal, if bad...
I'm sorry to hear that your truck is not a happy camper.
My quick two cents? I don't think the flow through the radiator is for cooling, I think it's for heating the transmission fluid to operating temps, but that's just my guess. I would love to find out if there is a bypass for it when hot...
Hope I can help. Try carquest or naps for the fitting. Look in the air brakes catalog or section, that's where I find most of mine. Air that strong coming from the tire area is probably the hub line disconnecteded, but should be easy to see with the tire off. Air pressure might be your...
oh, good point! you do want to swap those tires. If your spare is like mine though, you'll want to air it up and test it before you use it. My spare tire was unused, but the rim had a bad oring in it. Also, they probably cranked your wheel nuts on as tight as they could, or they will be...
Hey Ross, did you try turning on the headlights/driving lights, and seeing if the dash lights worked too? If they didn't, I'd bet you have a dead switch. If they did, I'd start thinking you have a wire disconnected near the switch. My money is on the switch.
As far as the CTIS goes, if you...
And Jaymb, you can also call CM and see if they can rebuild it for you. If you don't find one here at a good price. After all, it's not working now, you might as well send it in.
Heard a rumor ctis can be programmed to another psi. I would really like that! One small benefit to the ctis is that it seems to be a good visible indicator when gear oil is in the valves that it's time to change your seals! But so far it's been little more than inconvienant to me.
Hey all! I've got a strange one for you.
When driving my A3 on flat or mostly flat lands, nothing leaks. If I throw a hill in there, I get seepage from somewhere near the front of the oil pan. Can't tell if it's the pan or not, could be the front bearing seal, BUT I'd think that would leak...
