    M35A3 beacon lights

    I purchased a convoy light kit at the MVPA convention. Just last month, my son and I put it on our M35A3. We decided to mount only one light, put it on the driver's side. (For my needs - one is enough to provide visibility I want.) Mounted it to the existing bracket for the MB ring leg mount. No...

    A3 Fule filter change?

    Screw on filter that has threads down on the 3116, so you cant fill it. Cat folks have some pretty strong language about not filling fuel filters. Just screw it on - flip on the long switch and wait for 20 seconds and then hit the starter. Mine always fills and fires right away...

    A3 Fule filter change?

    Cat 7E-9763 Take two. If there are contaminants in the tank or system, they will end up in the filter. The system cycles a LOT of fuel back to the tank and will stir up everything so best be prepared..... (truck will seem to loose power, may not reve high enough to shift and you think you...

    M35a3 fuel problem

    I understand the rationale for placement of the filter by Cat. Agree with glcaines on two accounts: When the filter broke free from being on tight, I too easily removed it by hand - and the new one went on easily... I too was drenched in fuel when clearing the fuel separator - when the...

    M35a3 fuel problem

    When I picked up my -a3 from GL, I did a complete by-the-book PM and motor stables, pulling all the drain plugs to check for "other materials" and draining fuel from the fuel/water separater. I did not change any of the filters, as the fluids really appeared 'cherry'. About 1100 miles after...
