I asked Erik about the shake/wobble in my front end. It started at about 40/42 mph. Erik recommend adding 7 lug nuts to each front wheel to balance the almost 400 pound tires. He sold me 14 lug nuts that came with a pic on where to add the lug nuts. Lug nuts added to wheels per Erik's...

Catman and Garp added to Xmas turkey list!!!!!! Thanks guys...

Ser. number 500901 here with a green motor. I understand that since my motor is green, that is why my tranny has a fifth gear!!!!

Thanks Catman. I missed the pdf last night. Checked it out tonight. Did not know how it operated with the exhaust. I guess it would be a good thing to check the black hose and clamps from the muffler to the air intake. If the orginal hose is somewhat dry rotted replace it with ? Radiator hose...

So change your filter often? check your filter often? English please....Thanks...

FYI. Check your brake lines. I heard today about a A3 owner that had a brake line leak onto the wheel bearings. Brake fluid melted the grease on his bearings and melted the bearing on the axle. He is looking at replacing the axle due to the cost of the bearing being more than a NOS front axle.

Cheaper to buy complete NOS or used axle instead of buying bearings as I see it...

No putting the insulation on your new hood would cause what?

Also there is a vent on top of the trans you need to check. I saw it posted here somewhere how to do it. Check search.

How much are NOS Rockwell axles going for these days? Would it be cheaper to change out the entire axle?

I was told today to clean all the coolers and radiator with Simply Green and a strong hose. Spray with product like Simply Green degreaser and spray from back of coolers and raditor. Flushing dirt etc. out to the front and not back into cooler/radiator. Do this with engine off. Good luck..

a3 wheel bearing grease check/re pack etc. Any hints on checking the A3's wheel bearings and re packing grease etc. Going to the search and TM's... Just thought I would ask for tips!!! Thanks....

Cat mechanic time ... DO NOT DRIVE IT!!! I would not drive it untill checked out!!

Erik @ Erik's military supply has been my go to guy with issues like theses.

Change the oil in the trans. Change both external and internal filters. Consider going with DEXIII for trans fluid. Erik's has both filters. The oil in your trans could be very old . How many miles on truck? Search engine here is great. You will probably be told very soon by many A2 drivers...

pros and cons of going to DEXIII or transsynd? Flushing the oil... Opps better hit the search before I ask about flushing out the oil going to DEXIII...!!!

valve seals/oil = blue ???

How hot did it get? Still have power? I think the blue smoke = oil. Not sure

How does your tranny shift? Feather the thortle into 4th gear? Hold throtle down and make it shift? What is normal shifting of the Allison? Going to the search befoe getting blasted for asking!!! Thanks..

Maybe try Memphis Truck Parts ??? Glad no one hurt...!!!
