Btw - Malaysia is the closest thing to a humid he'll that I can imagine. The heat isn't the killer but with near 100% humidity, I can only take about 2 hours out in the urban sun. Thankfully I leave for London in a few hours. Can't wait to get back to the left coast!

It appears that you have the l & r fold down benches with the swing down legs. There is an optional center bench that adds two additional fold down rows. It looks like the benches are all there! But hard to tell from the photo if it's all complete and functional. Regarding the a3 tire, there...

That's a great question because the law that stopped being able to ride in back of a pickup indicated you needed seats & seat belts for each passenger. Last I saw they were putting seat belts in new school buses.

Those are crash hot! Pretty edgy, even for the hetero men's army of yore. 'Nuff said. Makes for more interesting TM's.

Haven't seen that one before! Connie has been around a lot.... (of manuals!)

With all this CTIS love, you'll both attract the A3 haters. There's a contingent that really loves to trash the CTIS in the posts. I am rebuilding mine and then I'll decide. I found that many fail due to poorly maintained air dryers that gum up due to over cycling as a result of air leaks...

Looks like we have a fleet in our little town! I'm going overseas on biz in a couple of days. Won't be back for a few weeks, but you're only about a mile or two from me! I pass Archie Moore all the time on 67 or Highland Valley Rd. You won't need to do anything to the CTIS. There is a high...

Transynd is overkill. Dex III is cheap and plentiful. I use Napa Industrial Transmission/Hydraulic Fluid. It carries the same Allison ratings as Transynd as well as Dex II ratings and Cat ratings, etc. It comes in a 5 Gal pail and is cheaper than lots of quarts of automotive dex III. The...

Warning on A3 front tires. Check the dot date codes. Many of those Michelin X tires are original for these typically low miles/hours trucks. That means these tires are mid '90's vintage (more than 15 years old). Michelins are notorious for dry rot and as well indicated in other recent postings...

I have the prc-68, an rt-1439 and an rt-1523e. They all play well together on 6m ham band but none have the necessary pl tones necessary for repeater access The prc-68 is a decent radio with direct synth and on-unit freq programming into channel memory. It will do freq splits. Compared to...

I had even bigger issues with USAA and I'd be kind by saying they're retarded. They quoted me a policy before I bought my A3 and then a week later when I took delivery they said they didn't insure mv's. After much heated discussion, they tried to broker me with a policy from progressive which...

I use a 5 gal paint bucket. It is large enough to not blow away in the wind and heavy enough to not pop off when I start up because half the time I forget to remove it prior to starting. Seems to do the job well and the plastic material doesn't tear up the stack paint like a metal can would.

Thanks much for the detailed info and pix! This gives me a good starting point to figure out those leaky wheels. Thankfully that setup is only used on the super singles. I can't imagine having to maintain O rings, grommets, wheel valves for 10 wheels!

My guess is that it is a faulty air compressor unloader valve. They fail all the time. The unloader also controls the air dryer and makes it vent. The unloader is a $20 item at Napa. Unless there is a loose canister that is physically leaking (unlikely) the Haldex has little to 'fail'. They...

I have a few gross leakers on my A3. Can you please describe where these grommets are located? I don't think the actual tire has a hole and the CTIS lines aren't letting any air out so it must be something else. I'd love to avoid destroying a tire sidewalk and fix the problem so the air stays...

I also have been very happy with Gulfway. It costs me only $400 per year. I have my A3 registered in CA as commercial because of the date on the SF97 which makes it too new for Historical plates. I'll avoid the CDL discussion topic, but advise you be very aware that dual rear axles on a...

'Dunno It is mounted per the instructions and came from the Army that way. Carnac did the pedigree.

Make sure the radio has a good match when transmitting. Just because it has an autotuner doesn't mean it has achieved a safe match. The breaker is there to protect the power supplies and finals. A mismatch will cause excessive current and fry either or both. Get hold of someone who has an...

Sugar Scoop Pix plus install TM # Below are pix of the stock mil install of my sugar scoop mount as received on my A3. As indicated, the ant mount, cabling, radio mount (6352) and loudspeaker LS-671 were all left intact when the truck was released. I just added the missing adapters and...
