WOW! Astounding detail! As a modeller in my younger days, I have always admired good attention to detail because I know how difficult it is to get authentic effects and the time it takes to make them just right. BTW; what scale are you working in here--- perhaps 1/35? And if you won't mind me...

This may be somewhat off the subject but consider... If you're contemplating either Class A or B CDL, you will soon learn that in order to maintain the license the govt requires that you either quit or heavily abstain from the following: drinking coffee/tea/cola/anything caffiene, eating...

That fore mentioned solenoid switch governs shift speed and smoothness. You don't mention changing fluid/filter lately and all trannys luv you when you do that. So if it's shifting hard and at high RPM, do a fluid/filter change and replace that solenoid switch while you're in there, then see...

Glad to hear it worked! Transmission guys know this trick but they won't tell you 'cause they're all rip-ff con-artists! And yes, you should replace that solenoid because it probably shifts pretty hard, like slam-shifting, right? Not good for trans nor beast. It's not that expensive or...

Thanks for the Outback offer but heck--- a big ol' Fatburger would do me fine! To answer your last question; NO, am not overly familiar with A3's ins-n-outs, don't own one. Though my background is in heavy equipment, my knowledge is in operating and troubleshooting--- NOT full-on mechanics...

Well JV, there are those who's opinions differ on different subjects and I'd say run what ya' brung, for now. But we all hate to see somebody have to learn something the hard way, when it could have been avoided.:-( Anyway, no matter! WHEN/IF time comes and you find your glow plugs won't come...

Stay away from 'em. My past experience; after pulling 4 swollen plugs out of 8 Wellmans, I would reccomend the AC Delco 60's.

You didn't say; when is your planned loadout date? If I'm available, may be able to assist, I'm 30 mins away from Barstow.

Forget the trans rebuild for a minute; go unplug that wire and test drive. It may be the solenoid inside the trans is bad--- common problem and easy fix. And keep in mind that ALL transmission guys are going to tell you it needs rebuilding, even if it doesn't need it. So you shoud do some...

Check to see if there is a wire plugged into the LEFT side of the trans.

AWESOME! Now I wants me one! I like the Desert Storm tan too![thumbzup] Did you do any "just got 'er home" pics maybe we can see? (:grin::grin::grin:EXAMPLE:grin::grin::grin::grin:)

Tough luck is right! Trying to argue (reason) with a DMV-type is pointless. Even asking for a so-called supervisor only gets you an endless wait where they figure either you'll just give up and leave or maybe die waiting... either way, it won't matter to them; they got your money. Ok Ryan...

What I need are a set of 8, NEW side-board pins. Not old rusty-used ones like in the picture... (please don't ask why) Here are the specs: From Army M101A2 Trailer TM for part labeled "straight headed pin" See pg. 269 (Also noted as page 20-1) quantity 8 straight headed pin P.N. 7339438...

Kinda' strange; AAA wouldn't handle my M1008, they said it's a DMV only proceedure. So I went to my local Department of Many people waiting long time to register Vehicles, and they gave me a 60-day temp permit, told me to get truck weighed at certified scale, and then visit CHP office for...

Wait, wait, WAIT a minute... how do you guys come by all these vehicle histories? Is there some kind of MV ancestry dot com or something? My M1008 has numbers all over the place, but have no idea which ones are relavent?:-( Or is Google the answer?:doh:

Can't seem to make sense of what you are saying: take it a step at a time. When you use turn sigs without headlights do they work normal? Then what happens to the turn sigs when you turn on the headlights? Kinda like that...

Awesum! Glad to hear there is progress! Hope you get it done in good time and have a chance to post some pics/problems if encountered. Been following this thread and it's gettin' me kind of nervous about my balancer. Like every time the engine sounds a little different I shut down and get...

Not a bad bad looking rig, mine has that same Texas Hood Rust too, strange ain't it? Just surface rust on the horizontal surfaces and otherwise, no rust anywhere else. Mind if we know--- what did they get ya' for it?

This is an interesting thread because prices guys' paid and perceptions of what is worth what, are all over the place here--- this thread should be mandatory reading BRFORE any newbies get all excited about bidding on their first vehicles. My $.02 cents... The auctions are so unpredicatble, I...
