you wouldn't need the OD kit, because the 5th gear in the spicer already HAS an OD gear. If you REALLY wanted a taller OD gear, then you could do both, but MY Cat3116 wouldn't have the balls to push a truck along with gearing that tall. It barely climbs the hill leading up to my house with the...

Remarkably, my 109 is registered as a 1985 for THAT VERY REASON :) Of course, due to the Byzantine Registry rules in the Commiewealth of MA, I ended up registering it as a camper, so no jackwagon could complain about a 15,000 pound vehicle parked at a residence. RV's are CDL and weight limit...

On my A3, I had to make it up. GL asked ME what year I wanted it to say on the SF97.

The bridgestones that came with my truck lasted me 88,000, and if I hadn't had a toe-in problem, they might have lasted a while longer. I bought Michelin LTX-II's, and my wallet is about 1100.00 lighter after the 4 of them, mount/balance/tax/alignment I like the michelins on this truck, but...

I agree that the veg oil oxidizes. Might be a good read if you are looking : Storing Bio Diesel Fuel

Thanks! My civvy yukon also runs 275/55/20's. Just WAIT till you have to replace those.

Make sure if you are planning to 'store your fuel for years' that it is in a tightly sealed METAL container, and that you use Pri-D as a preservative. Rotate the fuel if you can.

What's the biggest tire and wheel combo you can do without a lift?

Many users who've used it here note a smell from the B20, and a lower power output. <y A3 does NOT like it. Also, on older equipment, low sulfur diesel should be supplemented by an IP lubricant like Howe's or power service. My 2c.

would you be willing to share the source and cost of that seat?

By the time I was done looking and haggling, it was too dark for good pics. We'll have to regroup on pictures when the recovery happens. AAA is going to flatbed it to my house; they just don't know it yet. :)

Well, I went and looked last night..... The report: Low points: Ugly green civvy color A little rust on the drivers' side rear wheel well, but just a little. Seats changed out, a little worn Leak out of the transfer case @ the rear driveshaft. Oil pan leaks (dry above) Cooling line to the...

Thanks for the wiring tips! at the risk of a double negative - the wife is less not on board with the 1009, which WILL fit in my outside garage, than the 109a4 I already have, which will not :p I may end up with it, we'll see. Snow is coming here tonight and tomorrow, which is going to make a...

appointment to see it tomorrow. other than the high odometer, the biggest drawback is civi green paint instead of OD. Just found out it has an electric winch that fits in the rear receiver. I hope it is as good as it sounds, because if it is, it will be sitting in my driveway very soon. :)

I'm going to look at an M1009. It has new batteries >1 year old, new alternators, new starter, 13k on new tires and wheels, it has been painted, so no rot. Replaced seats, replaced column, and good floors. New dual exhaust. Rebuilt THM400 transmission. New front wheel bearings, axle joints...

and there will be a little guy running around saying "de plane, de plane" and ringing a bell too. :)

No one @ uship wanted any part of my m109 when I wanted it picked up....YMMV

I'd be in on that too, as long as we can get some notice!

if you've driven an A3 with the Cat@2650, you would wish for ANY taller gears.....

He could always send it in to the government. If you burn alternative fuels here, there is a form....no surprise in Taxachusetts.
