    R.I.P.--73M819--Ron Harris

    I am totally at a loss. Ron was a very good guy and a good friend. The family is in our prayers.

    Is it the M Gator?

    Assuming it has oil in it, you might want to start it up before changing the oil to get the oil warm so that it will drain better. Or, drain the oil, fill it up, run it until warm and then change the oil a second time along with the filter.

    2006 Odyssey PC625 Battery Replaced in M1030M1

    The Odyssey PC625 AGM battery in my M1030M1 diesel motorcycle finally gave up the ghost. It started the engine fine in warm weather, but now that the weather has turned cold, it has surrendered. I ordered a new Odyssey PC625 AGM battery as a replacement and installed it today. It arrived...

    Prisoner from Lansing, KS escapes in M929.

    Military trucks don't have keys unless modified. Even if the steering wheel is locked with a chain, if a truck was pointed towards the fence, an inmate could have started the truck and crashed through the fence. Very stupid to have any heavy equipment located inside the fence where inmates...

    What Filter?

    It needs to be hooked up or otherwise it is useless.

    What Filter?

    That is not a filter. It is an indicator that will tell you when your air filter needs to be replaced. It normally shows green. When the resistance to air flow through the air filter exceeds a certain limit the indicator shows red.

    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    I've used Rapco a lot on different pieces of equipment. After about one month, there is no way to tell the Rapco 383 from CARC.

    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    I don't know about the WD-40, but the Rapco 383 is a virtually perfect match to the CARC, especially a few weeks after application. I would try that before trying the WD-40.

    M35a2 horn solenoid

    If the horn blows when you haven't connected the wire from the horn button, the problem is almost certainly the relay.

    M35A3 Wheel problems

    If you are having this many problems with your A3 wheels, something is very wrong. Either your O-rings are not correct, valve stem gaskets are shot, or improper procedures are being used. I've had my A3 for over 7 years now. I resealed all of my tires when I first received the truck as they...

    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    Why not contact Sherwin Williams technical service and ask the question? As a manufacturer of CARC paint, they should be able to steer you in the right direction.

    002a Runs Great then Dies

    You might also try dry ice blasting in place since it leave no residue. However, I've never used it to blast rust, but it works great on some other stuff.

    002a Runs Great then Dies

    You stated "When I open up the louvers". The louvers open automatically as the engine heats up. When first started the louvers should be closed. As the engine heats up, the louvers start opening and only open to the point required to cool the engine. When the engine is very hot, the louvers...

    M35A3 front axle will not disengage...

    Check the air pressure regulator for the pneumatic steering assist. Failure of these regulators is not uncommon. I had to replace the one on my A3 after about a year of ownership. Very easy to replace. I found an NOS regulator on Ebay for $15.00 and bought two so that I have a spare. If...

    002a Runs Great then Dies

    You absolutely must have that cover present and it must be closed and latched. If it is missing, that explains why your generator shut down. If the cover is not present, closed and latched, the engine will overheat as that cover is an integral part of the air cooling. The temperature sensor...
