[Patgonia53]

I am looking at an M109A4 ... what is the difference between A3 and A4... I know the A4 has the Cummins diesel and allison automatic transmission...

Does it have POWER STEERING ??? any other differences ???

And what should a relatively newly referberd on go for ???

Thanks for the help..

That would be a cat motor 3116 not a cummins

 

[Sephirothq]

air assist steering, super singles, dual brake system, better seat.

CTIS problems on the A4. A3 is a multi-fuel , the cat motor is straight diesel

 

[Sephirothq]

The CTIS is most likely not going to work. You would end up having to disconnect it.

You are referring to the differences between the M44A2 and M44A3 series.

M109A4 is the same as an M35A3, but with the shop van body.

The differences in the A2 and A3 series have been discussed at length in the past:

...also, back up lights, side markers and rear marker lights, electric wiper motor upgrade, three point seat belts, Allison auto tranny. Significant improvements in my opinion, but they cost 2x as much.

My 1998 came out of GL @ Ft. Meade. It had 460 miles on the clock when i bought it.

It will need tires, batteries, and a thorough PM, to start. I had to get a replacement CTIS controller, and I still need to service the airpack dryer.

I stopped counting when I hit 10K on mine in costs. (Don't tell me wife )

Thanks guys... that more than answers my questions.... Looks like I going to be looking for the A3... you convinced me

 

[dilligaf13]

Did we convince you or did the price convince you????

I would definately go with the M109A3, the multifuel is awesome!

I would definately go with the M109A3, the multifuel is awesome!

Not to mention the fugly headlights on the A4!

 

[Patgonia53]

convinced by the comparison ...not the cost
