Removing the old ones involved heat, PB blaster, small back and forth movements, more heat, more PB blaster, more small movements. If you hammer it from the bottom it will quickly mushroom even with the nut on the end. Once I got them out I drilled the hole and put in a new off the shelf bolt...

Doghead mod, filters, a complete check of the glow system, belts. Mine took major effort at each step.

I would be shocked if they didn't have a few LAWs in the back. I was a grunt and we all had one each strapped to the sides of our rucks. They carry easy.

Welcome from the very bottom of the state! :driver:

Someone posted one on m35a3.net in this thread: http://www.m35a3.net/forum/index.php?topic=212.0 It is from TM 9-2320-386-24P page 0114? Maybe. :driver:

You owe us a bunch of pictures! :beer:

They usually list all A3 trucks as 1993. Several times folks have discussed ways of buying off-shore and shipping it home. Here is a thread about buying a truck in HI and shipping it home. Take some time to read it before you bid on a PR truck. :D ETA to add the missing link, doh...

Looking for a fuel sender unit? Most car parts places can get it for you in 24 hours. Standard old unit.

Ken, you ain't got one? You got ripped! Actually the A3s come with a standard unit, a lot of the A2s had them added at the unit level. Simple manual lever pump. There may be one for sale on an e-auction site as we speak.

While you are waiting for Carl, I will throw this in. I did mine 2 years ago and used Rapco, mixed in some Xylene thinner, Tractor supply hardner (Makes it a little too shiney but the 30 minute drying is great) and sprayed it over rustoleum redlead. For lettering I always use a paint mask...

I need to take my own advice! Which is keep a CO2 fire extinguisher in the cab. In case of emergency shoot it into the intake. :driver:

Yes, they are known to stick closed. It will blow the seals.

Assuming everything is OK it could be pressure buildup pushing the fluid out.

The 10 psi is lower than I have seen but the rest is similar to mine. How is your oil? If you have too much oil, you may have diesel mixed in with it and that will give you a lower reading. I would get the mechanical gauge as a backup.

I think what you described is normal. At idle it can go to 15 when hot, right? Am I missing something?

This is also a popular commercial add-on. One of the guys here pointed out earlier the company he works for orders all their over the road tractors with manual steering. When they have completed their over the road life, they are rebuilt for around town use and the air o matic is added to make...

Yeah, a former Cat employee explained the situation earlier. Cat only paints the engines yellow. From time to time the DOD would reject some engines and demand CARC, so Cat would send a bunch off to get painted. Once things got quiet again the engines became yellow once more. That is as good...

Nope. Some came off the line with yellow engines, some with green. :driver:

I had all that and a dirty tank with a bad sender. So, new tank, sender, electric pump, pre and post pump filters and added a pressure gauge for extra measure.

Did you really clean (shiny metal) the terminal and clamp where they both meet? I have destroyed good batteries with dirty connectors.
