While it is true that you "can" make a particular tire/wheel combination work, very often you "should" not do it. if you are running a.combination that is not made to go together, like a 385 on an A3 rim instead of a 14.5r20 or 15.5r20 and something bad happens, you will discover that your...

I used a FL dealers tag to get mine home to NC from FL. Kept it in the glove box. Never got checked. Have never put my current NC tag on the truck either. It is my daily driver, and have put several thousand miles on it. Never been stopped. However, very soon I will be re-registering it...

That is what the sticker on the dash says. At least the cool down part. The bearings in the turbo don't like the oil to get coked up if shut down too hot. On startup, most guys will take off not long after reaching full air pressure.

Yes, the A2 is..noisy beast that is difficult to talk in. The multifuel engine is.a.great thing to have if you have ready assess.to used oil--motor.oil or veggie oil from McDs... Many folks don't like the slanted.hood on the A3. however,.I don't understand the.need for.a.fork lift. Axles on...

The most important thing to.consider when planning a project.like this just what you are planning on doing with the truck when complete. Will it.be.a.street legal monster.truck for mud racing? A off.road.bogger on the weekends only. Or a daily driver with a bit more.pep. Perhaps.a combo of...

Oh, lesson learned.the.hard.way: turn off.the lights.when bogging. I blew.both headlights.low.beams. Had a.spare set.of.new ones. However.that should.never happen to me again. Just got full set of.LED headlamps, front turn signals, and rear tail lights.

Oh, my A3 is.my daily driver. Sold the.F-150 and the deuce is my pickup truck. The Mich 14.5r20 XLs have done great in both mud and snow. Out in 12" snow I never needed to lock in the front axle..Went bogging on Post in a. Couple feet of mud. Same thing, rear axles.only. Powered right thru...

By the time.you buy a decent deuce, tires and wheels.to single.it.out, and a few other things, you are better off in the long run just to buy an A3 and be done.with it. Decent Cat engine, Allison auto trans, air.assist.steering, and dual.circuit breaks. That is why I got an A3, rather than...

When I first got my A3, I took it to the local Allison dealer to have the motor oil replaced with Transyn. However, they told me that they did not recommend doing that as it incompatible with any other fluid. Said enough of the old could not get flushed from the torque converter. They put...

Roger that! Good luck getting it off again if you use Permatex instead of the proper gasket. Ask me how I know...

With a good supply of wvo, you should build a conversion system to make your own bio-diesel. That will burn just great in the Cat 3116.

I'm really surprised that they sold it, and did not have it crushed, like they do most of the vehicles built on the Power Block tv.stuff.

I have been using blue and yellow top Optima batteries for many years. They are a bit pricy, but well worth it for reliability and longevity.

Slow poke

I understand they are two different systems. What is the weak link with the air assist? Obviously, that part is replaced with the hydro.

Anyone know.why A3s do not have a coolant expansion/recovery tank?

What is the weak link? There are a large .number of trucks with 2.5 rockwells and full hydro steering and nothing seems to break on them. They all can do full lock to lock when not moving. What is so.weak with the air assist?
