    Extended storage start-up?

    Yeah, like BC says, make sure you drop the air cleaner canister. They crawl in the 1" hole on the back side and build huge nests. Just found one today in my LDS-465-1A Deuce today before the first start up in 3 years. I check oil, antifreeze, air cleaner, brake fluid, start,at idle til oil...

As the others all said, you should not compare the A3 with the 900 series 5 ton, two very different animals. Don't worry about hurt feelings or not knowing everything, just listen this time...

    Leaking Turbo

    To continue this thought, non turbo deuces have a tendancy to slobber more than turbo deuces at idle. Idling below 1000-1200 RPM for extended periods is asking for exhaust slobber, just the nature of the engine design. Now, if your turbo multifuel is not idled much, I think you have a turbo...

    M1008 with 4.56's what RPM is safe

    I have very little experience with CUCVs as compared to M35s, but I run one CUCV as my daily driver and I never drive it over 55 MPH. Mostly I run between 45 and 50 MPH. That gets me good fuel mileage and doesn't make me think engine parts are going to exit of their own accord. If I needed...

    Info Needed on Air Assist Steering Kit

    check with Arthur Bloom, www.m35products.com see if he can help you. He was the only link to Air-o-matic ownership up until GL flooded the market with NOS steering kits. Now, Arthur is basicly out of business because he made $100 per kit sold at $1750 as advertised in MV Magazine. Still, He...

    Deuce Wipers & Arms From Saturn: A++

    Remember, Saturn Surplus doesn't make the parts, they sell them. Talk to Jay or Mark, maybe they can find a way to make the part locally that fails on so many of your trucks. They have taken the time to provide us with parts that we need, why can't we take the time to talk to them about fine...
