I've heard the runaway story associated with Detroit diesels but not much else. Is this another one of those, "I'm really jealous of guys who buy an A3 so I gotta talk untrue smack", threads?:?: Simply switching the power On/Off switch to "off" kills the engine. If not, there is a "fuel shut...

You live close enough to Ft. Mccoy/Sparta Wisconsin to recover a very nice truck. All you need is money. A3 is a big truck. 900 series is a REALLY big truck. They may be the same color,,,,,,,,,,,,,everything else is different.

+100 on the "run a search" idea. They are the same truck in some important respects. You won't get more leg room in an A3, you just won't have to shift. You won't get less wind noise or fewer leaks as far as I can tell. You can't haul more either and it won't go faster. If you like to...

Why can't you idle or run a MEP-003 withload a load? We used them for my entire career and I never saw one die from running.

I doubt most GI's could tell you who made their deuce. Finding the name of the maker on most military stuff can be a bit tough. The Russians have some tough equipment, it lacks a bunch of American style luxury and is far from modern. I wouldn't doubt for an instant they have a truck that can...

66 years of trouble free relations with Japan. If returning the remains of one of their's keeps things quiet, let's do it. If we have this much quiet time from Iraq, we got our monies worth. Now get back to work, they are not sitting on their butts for free.

There are never enough words to express a loss like this, nothing anyone can say can ever really ease the pain. I am sorry for your loss. My Dad was taken by a drunk driver three months after I got back from Iraq, it was miserable, but I cherish his memory and smile often at the many jokes...

Speechless. This is beyond terrible. Everytime I'm on the interstate I keep a weary eye in the mirrors for some guy in a semi or something to plow into me. Prayers to the family.

Sounds exactly like mine. I switched to ATF and it got a little smoother but it still shifts a bit hard. Two quirks, first it is right at 30mph between 3rd and 4th and in city traffic it wants to kick back and fourth. Second, it sems to downshift hard into first, everything else is fairly...

Nice truck, the first one I ever bid on was a 432 mile with winch A3 at McCoy. It still had plastic on the seats and went for solid money. I went all the way to 8K before I quit. They seem to have a lot of decent running trucks up there.

Thanks guys, ,y welding skills are not completely dismal but they are close to dismal,,lol. I'm looking at a Miller, lucky for me we have three big suppliers within two miles of where I work. Sadly, for me they are all priced within 50 bucks for everything I wanted, so no smoking deals are...

My truck had new steer tires, with 2008 date codes. They hold air perfectly and are not a problem. If you had to swap anything, I'd buy two new steers for sure. That being said, I bought myself a set of six new tires that had been in a proper tire warehouse, two are older but four are recent...

That's funny....... I've always offered to assist anyone from this board for any reason, if you are broke down within 50 miles of me. My number is even on some guys list from this board. I've offered to store trucks and pick up equipment. You do have to pick it up in a reasonable...

Go to Erik's Military Surplus and check his truck. He added an overdrive and has plenty of speed. The CTIS system is mostly junk. That being said, some guys have good luck with theirs right up til they break. Why toss the engine unless you go with a Cummins? Going backwards to a...

I am admiring the seat work and I see you have a welder and some ability there as well. I keep pondering some projects for my truck, seats and a winch come to mind. Once I told the wife I wanted a welder, she started drawing flower racks and things for me to get to work on. Do you think a...

I'm not hanging out,,,,,,,,,,,this is the internet. We are not actually friends or buddies and sharing a bed or anything. Get a grip. I posted my personal experience. As far as the truck, if you find a decent A3 for something in the $6,000 to $6,500 range with no GL wait, no wait for forms...

This is an entertaining place to ask for the value of anything. First of all, you will be asking people who probably do not own a truck like yours ands if they own an A2 they are as jealous as school girls and just as snippy. Second of all, you always have to remember that anything you own is...

Why would it need to be rebuilt? Mine had 400 hours on it when I bought the truck. I had the overhead done at 500 like the warranty recommended and it purrs. My brother is a heavy vech mech and prefers Cummins, he likes my truck a ton and swears it is the best running 3116 he has ever seen.

Look close at the photos and throw a bitch to GL for everything missing. Ask for a lower price, full refund or replaced parts. I made it clear when I bought my truck, I expected it to be "running" since it was advertized as such. They had it fired up and aired up when I arrived and...

They actually work best when turned off and never powered up as long as you own the truck. I never use mine and enjoy it. If you waste a couple of hundred dollars on a new control module, one of the other poorly engineered and badly built parts will fail in short order and you will be back...
