    $1.00 Dollar a gallon, Recycled ATF from the local 10 minute oil change

    If you decide to move, don't come to MA if you want fewer regulations and more freedoms It's a nightmare.

    The Military is starting to scare me...

    I had a frozen battery blow on me. When I got to the ER, the doc looked at the acid burns on my face and put a pH test strip in my eyes. His observation....you have a very low pH in your eyes. :shock: No chit Sherlock. Even with eyeglasses on, still got acid in the eyes. They found chunks...

    M35A3 tire changing to 395/85/20 part 1

    ^ Mine too, although my CTIS takes about 7-8 miles to get them to 44PSI. For my long highway run home on my recovery, I also set my tires pressure to 50. Since they bleed down a bit sitting, now the CTIS sets them to 44. If I had unlimited funds, I would send a CTIS head unit back and have...

    M1009, what else to look for

    I don't LIKE the color. I'd like it to go back to camo, but I want to get the mechanical particulars worked out first. The issue is, with the 1009, you can be a quasi-mv, but be in stealth mode. If you go back to camo...... I get looks from my neighbors and people already. It's got an awful...

    Throttle return spring broke!

    Thanks doghead! BTW, the Dorman 'check your fit' doesn't have an application for a 19?? M109a4 :shock: What a totally inadequate database of fitment. :)

    Throttle return spring broke!

    I was out with the kids giving the old girl a run today... When I came to a stop light and went to stop, the throttle stuck wide open. Made for kind of a hairy stop, but neutral and sticking my foot under the pedal saved the motor from running against the redline. I nursed it to the side of...

    Spicer 5 Speed in an A3

    I'm sure I am missing something, but is the 4th gear in the MT643 a 1:1 AND the 5th gear in the MD6030 also a 1:1? If so, how does that improve the 1:1 in the transmission that come stock and has a final gear of 1:1?

    Compatible transmissions for the M35a3 with the cat 3116

    even with the spicer gears, if you keep stock tires, 60MPH is going to be near redline anyways
