    A3 pickup from Barstow, front flat tire

    Uh, no linkage between gas and brake on A3. That would be just plain silly.

    A3 pickup from Barstow, front flat tire

    Btw - Malaysia is the closest thing to a humid he'll that I can imagine. The heat isn't the killer but with near 100% humidity, I can only take about 2 hours out in the urban sun. Thankfully I leave for London in a few hours. Can't wait to get back to the left coast!

    A3 pickup from Barstow, front flat tire

    It appears that you have the l & r fold down benches with the swing down legs. There is an optional center bench that adds two additional fold down rows. It looks like the benches are all there! But hard to tell from the photo if it's all complete and functional. Regarding the a3 tire, there...

    Transynd is overkill. Dex III is cheap and plentiful. I use Napa Industrial Transmission/Hydraulic Fluid. It carries the same Allison ratings as Transynd as well as Dex II ratings and Cat ratings, etc. It comes in a 5 Gal pail and is cheaper than lots of quarts of automotive dex III. The...

    A3 pickup from Barstow, front flat tire

    Warning on A3 front tires. Check the dot date codes. Many of those Michelin X tires are original for these typically low miles/hours trucks. That means these tires are mid '90's vintage (more than 15 years old). Michelins are notorious for dry rot and as well indicated in other recent postings...
