    Oil on spark plug...

    I am not familiar with that particular engine but a coil going bad could also cause some of those symptoms in a gas engine.

    Dot4 Brake Fluid ?

    As said before it it DOT 5 silicone fluid. Don't mix the different types of type 5 either. "This fluid must only ever be mixed with DOT 5 fluid which has the same silicone base. Never mix DOT 5 with regular glycol based fluids." If you do you will get Jello in your brake system.

    Noob question: How bad ARE the brakes, really?

    Also be careful driving in the rain. Just a little too much on the brakes and it will try to come around on you quick. Drifted mine by accident when a light changed to yellow on me into an off camber corner.

    Spartan Locker pros and cons..

    The spartan locker replaces the spider gears. No setup required so anyone can do it. A Track lok you need to setup the gearset and not many people know how to do it or have the setup kit.

    Spartan Locker pros and cons..

    If you do install the locker in the front also install manual locking hubs. During street use only lock only the passenger side hub, then if you get stuck you only need to get out and lock the driver side hub. Thats what I did with my 1 ton chevy with a locker in the dana 60.

    M35a2 wiper blades

    Bolt-on frame boxing

    Funny, the government puts engine oil in the automatic transmission in the M35A3. I converted it to ATF for better road manners and to keep the trans cooler. I personally prefer gear oil to handle the heavy loads and temperatures in the differentials and the T-case. I run gear oil in the np205...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Hind sight is 20/20, but I would have used long straps or just pushed it over with the front bumper.

    Thanks, I didn't see that manual. I did see that plug but it just seemed too low.

    Air shift transfer case fluid level check

    I seem to have the same issue finding the fill plug. Is it in a different location for an A3? I can't see it looking up at it and the manuals don't show the fill plug only the drain plug. LO9-2320-386-12 and tm9-232-386-24-1-2 are the only references I found.

    wipers On my way home from work the wipers started to turn into spaghetti. I had some new 13 inch wipers sitting around so I made a quick mod. took off the original wiper and noticed the steel bracing fit inside of the new wiper but the pin was in the way. Drilled out the rivet pin and it fits...

    1994 Libby MEP 802A 5kW Generator High Blowby looking for advice

    A quick question. What pre-start procedure did you use on the engine that sat open for so long? If you just fired it up then you may have broken the rings that were probably rusted to the cylinder wall and scored the walls up pretty good. Is the breather system clean and working correctly?

    Detroit Lockers

    My $0.02 on the options. My truck already has a locker in axle#3 and I considered putting an Air Arb in the middle and a minispool in the front. I don't need the other lockers but just considering the upgrade when time and money allows. I already have locking hubs up front so that wouldn't be an...
