Adam, TM for the A3 /.5ton/TM-9-2320-386-24-1-1 Extended Service Program (ESP) for 2-1/2-Ton 6x6 M44A3 Series Trucks (Diesel) Manual

I loved mine last winter. As I began to bog down, just flipped the switch and suddenly it was a totally different machine.

So does my M35A3

It works off a separate pump off the engine I think. There may be one on ebay or somewhere.

I went to the Saturn site and stole their photo. That looks like the switch, but you still need the wiring and light.

If it is like the one on the A3 it is a little switch pop rivited to the handle. Power comes from the main switch to a LED light on the dash then to the switch then to ground. The light has two wires, one with power the other to the switch.

Just remembered, 2 inch smaller steering wheel for those of us who may be slightly thicker than we were, uh, a few years ago. :jumpin:

Just for the record, some things I have found to my liking on the A3: Dual airpack brake system E-brake "On" warning light on the dash Bed tie downs Auto tranny Brake master cylinder real easy to check and fill Great driver's seat (same old crappy passenger bench though) Cab sound insulation...

I have both, I love both. Kind of like asking what oil is best- you will get a lot of answers that may or may not be helpful. The Cat engine and Allison transmission is very impressive, also the newer components on the A3 are great. Still, I love the feeling of history when I get in the A2.

All security stuff, locking door handles, lock the fuel tank cap, battery and tool doors.

Gimpy has it right! Just did one and it took a lot longer than it should have. It seems so simple to look at it, just does not go together like it looks. The cable is a PITA where it goes into the cab, the adjustment is not too much fun. I kind of designed a long extension to my battery...

Nice spin ons! I thought these trucks were supposed to leak so you don't have to change oil, just top off! :beer:

It pours like a heavy syrup. My guess is if you plan to use the winch daily or weekly just repair the seals and use the specified lube. For occasional use cornhead is a nice shortcut.

I put it in and used the same as the LO specified. I think it was 16 oz in the smaller side and 20 in the larger side. I think the tubes are 16 oz? So I used 2 and about a third of another. That was in the spring so far so good.

Now that is a classic shot!

That is the closest to the truth! :driver:

Your winch is a complete unit, and all you need to do is put in the long shoulder bolts, right? If so you probably have to loosen all the frame extension nuts and bolts to get her back in.

It is always wise to preview but... even with that clause in the lot, you may or may not be able to schedule a preview. Lots of the GL field staff are great and cooperative, but most are overworked and some are, well, you know. rofl Even if you do preview you are limited to what you can do...

Very nice find!

Also a neighborhood dog can cause it. :jumpin:
