I don’t know what the best fluid is, hopefully somebody will chime in. I do know that the transmission is the weak Link in the A3‘s, so treat it like your baby. For the loose steering, start by having somebody saw on the steering wheel back-and-forth while you look for any sloppy joints in the...

Check your engine oil level as well. Also what truck, and Cummins engine are you dealing with?

Yep, and thats how the one side of the debate, that I normally don’t participate in, always goes. You need to focus on the torque numbers of the two engines. Especially if you add 5-10 ton payload on your truck with a 10 ton tare. All the sudden your hoped up but dependable 5.9 isn’t going to be...

I haven’t messed with them on these trucks, but on other equipment the ends tend to break off, usually on the engine side. However, I would start at the tack end if possible to see if it’s turning.

Check the drive cable before you replace anything.

I’m sure it’s been done, but cant think of anyone one here thats has. I know it’s been discussed and debated quite a bit, about how a 5ton is too much truck for a B motor.

If it’s the big filter mounted on the fender behind the tire, and before the lift pump, and your fuel tank is lower on fuel, probably not. Likely just the fuel draining back the line and down the pickup tube. However, my last battle of the war on fuel flow and pressure problems, was smallish...

I believe he said it was purchased at a Polaris dealer. So I’m wondering what the part number is, and curios of the list price? That would be great information for the handful of owners to be able to go out and obtain their own.

Panel bond is amazing stuff and wont warp your panels.

If the truck is sitting fairly level, it wont take much offset of the cylinder mount or the hinge to get them moving.

Not really. Yours sounds like a typical old school exhaust manifold/header flange leak, that most of us have dealt with too many times, on old gas engines. If not exhaust manifold I would take a wild guess at blown head gasket or burnt exhaust vale. Does the power seem to pulse/miss from a weak...

Sounds like you need a different hydraulic repair shop. They need to check the pressure before throwing anything at it. Probably just a broken spring or stuck spool in the pressure relief.

Sounds like how the leak I had on my Cat acted. It was such a heavy knock, and only under load that I thought it was a main bearing at first. After a cold start you have a little time to quickly run your fingers around the manifold and feel for the puff of air before it gets too hot. Once I felt...

Try another gun or chuck.

Interesting, if I’m reading the plant code on the tire correctly, they are made in Luxembourg. Sounds like they would ship from Colony in Va Beach.

Any chance you can post a link? I’m having no luck on their web site…

Mine are 3/4-16 but I think there was a different size as well. Maybe 5/8? My redneck thread chaser.

I wonder if there are two separate bladders in there, one to hold the fuel, and the other for air to force the fuel out?

Just don’t go over the max specified pressure, as I don’t think these winches have a shear pin. IIRC it’s 1750psi +- 50, but you’ll want to verify with the TM. I think max engine RPM while using the PTO is 1800rpm as well.

Engine RPM will not effect the PTO while the transmission is in gear, unless the transmission/tires are turning, and they will have to be turning quite fast to visibly see the rotation of the winch drum. The pressure is adjusted by shimming the pressure relief valve. This can be found...
