Sounds like Transmission problems, probably first gear clutches.

And the answer is: RUMPLSTILTSKIN

An easy check to see if the OUTER seals are leaking is to check the axle breather, If it is releasing air when the tires are trying to fill one of the outer sets of seals on that axle are bad. I replaced all my axle breathers with fittings and ran the hose up to the back of the cab. When I took...

One other thing to check is on the CTIS manifold, there is a screw in pressure sensor, it has two wires running to it. Mine was physicaly broken off, this would cause the dash display to say "flat" I called CM automotive and they sent me a new pressure sensor for free. Thanks CM.

If your buzzer comes on I think your air priority valve is suspect. The valve shouldn't let the CTIS air demand overide the Brake system PSI. I think at about 60-70 PSI it should cut the air to the aux systems and direct the air only to the brakes. This is a VERY unsafe condition as it will...

I had my CTIS stuff off the wheel and weighed the components at the grocery store. The cover 3.57 lbs The counter weight 2.82 lbs The wheel valve with fittings and hoses. 1.75 lbs 4 lug nuts 1.38 lbs 4 regular nuts .45 lbs. So if we figure (guess) 75 % of the cover weight (because it is pie...

Mine are epoxied on. This is another point of failure to look into. It would be very hard to diagnose with the brake drum on. It would sound like air leaking from the brake backing plate... and once the brake drum is off and the hub is apart there is no way to hold air pressure on the hub...

It looks like I may have messed up. I used the x rings that I bought from the Mil-surp dealer, not the Mc mastercarr ones. Since reading this I opened the Mc mastercarr ones and they are too large. The label on the bag is unreadable, and I will have to take my hubs apart to find out the size...

Cut and paste from a different post. I had my CTIS stuff off the wheel and weighed the components at the grocery store. The cover 3.57 lbs The counter weight 2.82 lbs The wheel valve with fittings and hoses. 1.75 lbs 4 lug nuts 1.38 lbs 4 regular nuts .45 lbs. So if we figure (guess) 75 % of...

No, Fix a flat can pretty much only distribute itself around the outside of the tire due to centrifugal force. Also it would gum up the CTIS something terrible.

sign me up, best one I've heard in awhile.

I worked with a guy who was in the body shop industry. While he was in school getting his certification, They - (the paint manufacturers) did a demo on a steel body panel-....The improperly repaired rust spread like spider webs under the paint. If you don't remove the rust entirely, and...

Sure, they make chains for almost anything, from snow blowers, to end-loaders. (Priced accordingly)

My experience with an A3 6x6 is that with dense snow, you’re not going to get anywhere once it's much deeper than the axles. Would lockers help, yes, but I have a buddy with a jeep and lockers, and he is not impressed in the snow. (The biggest problem is all 4 tires slip and then you go...

look here; Parts to have on hand when changing out tires, servicing brakew and ctis Differencial Lube Leaking From Hollow Stud #1 I don't believe lube should make it to the outer bearings. This is indicative of bad seals, bad cork keyway plugs or gear lube leaking thru the treads on the axle...

Mine had an intermittent short in the fuel cut off switch, some times it would start, and sometimes it wouldn't. But it would run on ether. I found the problem by accident, by wiggling the wires behind the switch when it was running, and it stopped. Replaced the switch and all is well.

Cheapest I found was Direct through quickstart. 18$ a bottle, the catch is they have to charge a haz mat shipping fee of 25$ whether you buy 1 or 20. I think to local auto parts store quoted me almost 45$ for one bottle.

So, on my M35A3 some thing on the passenger side (vs. the engine side) of the heating unit leaks. (Smells like coolant Real bad) Today I took it apart. It looks like the intake hoses to the heater core got crushed due to hose clamps being over tightened. My questions are, Is there an air...

This is GREAT info, I'm not a welder myself, but I could bird Poop it together for an emergency. What welding rod would you recommend for steel, out on the trail?
