    Straight Piped A3 Today!

    In my opinion my A3 at 45 mph is louder then my A2 . The Cat 3116 with muffler is quiet , but the 14.5 Michelins scream . I guess the straight pipe gets rid of the school bus sound . I would like to see and hear a video of the straight pipe .

    Repainting vs Powder coating

    powder coating ( if done right ) is very durable . You may need to be cautious to make sure that the temperature from baking on the powder coating does not effect the product being powder coated .

    ILL Title Help M35A3

    GL will send you a tittle , not an SF97 . Your problem is the state will complain that being a newer truck it should have 17 digits in the serial # . The A3's do not have 17 digits .

    If you don't mind a max speed of 48mph . Also count on getting a set of new tires . The tires on thses trucks are getting to be old enough to be unsafe , especially haulling a load of water in an emergency .
