    Suggestions for someone (or shop) in the Twin Cities area (Minnesota) for a M109A3

    Looking for a shop that can do some work on my M109A3 Deuce. Just some basic stuff. Replace an axle boot, perhaps the brake lines and or air lines and to give it a good once over. Thanks Carlton

    Thanks to maxspeed3 for the help and tie6044 for the parts

    So the second day started about the same time (5 p.m.) and it was cooler so this made for much happier repairs. Made a cradle to help position the "new" transmission Friend that came over to help (easy to work on but HEAVY parts) getting the "new" one into position and on the table...

    Transmission swap - Thanks to maxspeed3 for the help and tie6044 for the parts Little update. Major repair. I did a 780 mile round trip over 2 days and had a little mishap. On my way home (about 3 hours from home) I started hearing a clicking sound coming from the transmission while...

    5th gear noise. I am guessing this is not suppose to move.

    Unless in its life before me it was abused, then no idea. My only guess was a defect in the gear from the start. I was on flat a road, not towing anything, gear oil was at the correct level and not being stupid with the throttle. So if it was something I did I sure can not figure it out. Edit...

    5th gear noise. I am guessing this is not suppose to move.

    Thanks Sparky. I had actually talked to Scott earlier and am picking up a pulled transmission from him along with a parts transmission to scavage the shaft. Going to try to rebuild after cleaning my current one really good. Scott is a good guy to have near me. (He is who I got my 109 from...

    5th gear noise. I am guessing this is not suppose to move.

    Is there a particular name to that shaft? Don't want to call them and ask for the dohicky shaft that works in the thing-a-magig. Edit to add: Just called them and they are looking it up. I figure for those prices I can rebuild that one and have a spare transmission.

    Not seeing them on their website. Did you have to call them? How much if you don't mind me asking?

    5th gear noise. I am guessing this is not suppose to move.

    ok.. A little more info. Yes it is suppose to move like that (duh moment after I looked at it more closely) With the clutch in I can rotate the bottom shafts in both 4th and 5th and I do not see any missing teeth. The noise I heard sounding something like what is in the video but only...

    5th gear noise. I am guessing this is not suppose to move.

    In the last hours of a 768 mile trip I started to hear a chattering noise from 5th gear when coasting. After getting her home I pulled the top of the transmission and found this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3Rse5s4HcM&feature=share&list=UUpvkOGOMwWOSMgd60sKHWKQ I am guessing that the...

    By chance does anyone know if NAPA sells an air brake light switch?

    I was just checking to see if I could find a more common part that did not cost 45 bucks.

    By chance does anyone know if NAPA sells an air brake light switch?

    I saw that there was talk of a NAPA part number for the non air switch. But do they sell a switch that works with the air that is a replacement for the OE air switch? Thanks
