In my opinion my A3 at 45 mph is louder then my A2 . The Cat 3116 with muffler is quiet , but the 14.5 Michelins scream . I guess the straight pipe gets rid of the school bus sound . I would like to see and hear a video of the straight pipe .
The gov/military does not follow many laws , curious as to why they bother with the EPA .
I have heard complaints about maintaining the anti pollution systems on some of the newer diesel pickups .
I have a 10k switch stuck like that . I lightly tapped on the mechanics of the switch while turning the switch knob . I got it to where I need it and left it alone .
powder coating ( if done right ) is very durable . You may need to be cautious to make sure that the temperature from baking on the powder coating does not effect the product being powder coated .
GL will send you a tittle , not an SF97 . Your problem is the state will complain that being a newer truck it should have 17 digits in the serial # . The A3's do not have 17 digits . For license plates ( if you want to be legal ) you will need plates for the weight of the truck . $540 dollars or...
That was kind of pricey . 7300 pounds , I hope you get the brakes to work for the ride home . Is it basically just a stick welder ? I am suprised to see only 110v for aux power . The m200 trailer has a very high lunette ring hight , should be pulled with a deuce . It will be a lot of weight to...
I am pretty sure this is the tranny my plow truck with the cat 3116 has in it . I did a search with the vin # to get the tranny type but I ran into a dead end . The tranny type was not listed . I believe it was not listed because the trucks are custom built for State Of IL DOT . I can tell you...
If you don't mind a max speed of 48mph . Also count on getting a set of new tires . The tires on thses trucks are getting to be old enough to be unsafe , especially haulling a load of water in an emergency .
Pete, I am going through the same thing with my GMC plow truck with a cat 3116 in it . After changing out a filter because of algae in the system I had a hard time getting it to start . I finally got it started and took it for a drive . It ran great . The next day I go for a drive and it starts...
I have a 1990 GMC Topkick Dump / plow truck . It has a Cat 3316 with a 5 speed Automatic tranny in it . when it hits 5th gear the rpm's drop drastically . I don't think most of us want to go 70mph, but aroung the 55 mph range at a conservative rpm . I will see if I can find out the model of...
You may need to do some more digging . Even if you get something to pull it out and attempt to do so as stuck as it is you need to pull very slow . Sounds like it is stuck good and if not carefull you will break something pulling it out . you need to get the front wheels straight before you pull .
