thanks vondy I did see some white residue on the plate and looks like it def arced, ill take it off and rubber cover it. Was odd because all month driving it would give me a false reading at the battery gauge , would charge great then drop. Must of been grounding then

I have a 1993 m35a3 with a cat 3116, the other morn I started it to warm up and noticed the alternator smoking and smelt like burning wire. I shut it down quickly but started hrs later to move truck and no smoking and the batteries gauge is charging normally. I don't know what's wrong with it...

Hi what kind of alt are you using? I need to buy a new one mine fried and smoked up this morn.

I'd like to learn about this pig I have. I deff need parts and advise on it. I built trucks before but your typical lifted Chevys & fords. My first diesel now and want to keep it for a long time . Thanks guys

Ok thank you for the info, I'm just going by what I hear from others. Hope I didn't offend anyone.

Oh really ,that's why my buddy that works on the a3's on base says its multi feul , and caterpillar and HO Penn mechanics say the same thing. Look it up on google and learn something

Ok then call it a multi oil motor

It's designed that way for a reason. Otherwise they wouldn't of called it a multifeul motor . Look it up on wiki it'll inform you. I've run WMO thru it for miles without any problems. Just burns a little dirty

Well there's a tag on my a3 dash that says " multifeul" so I think the gov kinda made it that way. Don't ya think ?

Then if its not a multifeul 3116 why does it say multifeul?

Didn't know there was a cat a3 engine that wasn't multifeul . Well getting back to the multifeul cat 3116, it's designed to run off WMO or any other fuel that'll burn. Hence the name. I dump WMO , Trans fluid and diesel in the 50 gal tank. Saves $200 on a fill up at Hess

Isn't it called a " multifeul" for a reason ?

I'd like to do the same but keep it as a 6x6

I'm a new owner of an A3 and maybe I'm doing something wrong with the light switch but I'm not getting any brake lights also. Can anyone tell me where the brake switch is so I can check to see if its working properly ? Thanks guys
