Hello!
I have a CAT 3116 290hp engine that needs a turbo cartridge. The vehicle is a Stewart and Stevenson M1088 military tractor truck.
The housing has this stamped on it:

HSM 187
070L-0
F1083
The CAT engine serial number is 3RJ03580
Arrangement #118-9578
I am struggling...
Regulator bad? my lights have a consistent regular higher frequency flicker. Guessing around 50 hz or so. I charged the batteries. Does not seem like a ground, but maybe?
I'm looking for ujoints for my m1088. I got my truck out of the driveway and down the road for the first time yesterday. Sounds like there is a rotational sound at various speeds. The nameplate does have the "D" on it. I friend thought it might be U joints.
Does anyone know a good source for...
I have seen a number of keyed ignition switches advertised by various military sellers. The ones that I have seen seem maybe a bit more expensive than the typical ignition switch. Is this some sort of special switch that handles 24 volts and high amps?
I recently replaced the brake system drier on my m1088. Prior to loosening the bolts for the old brackets, the system built pressure. When I did a test of the system, before the final bolt down, the gauges showed no air pressure. Maybe it is a grounding issue? I saw some grounding straps around...
I'm not sure exactly where this goes on the forum. I had some custom DOT air brake hoses made. Believe it or not, finding someone to make custom air hoses is not easy. Here is who I used. These guys were very nice and very interested in helping me.

Anyone have picts or videos of their trucks moving through deep snow? Donno why, I just like seeing this : ) Maybe it is because, when the snow is too deep, who you gonna call? ; ) :popcorn: I have watched all the vids on Youtube.
My windshield appears to have been scratched by something. If I called an autoglass place would they be able to replace it or is this a donor vehicle item?
First, I big thank you for all the of the people have responded to my zillions of questions as a Newbee. Suprman has been especially helpful.
So I have an M1088 without antilock brakes. Anyone attempt a antilock conversion using the newer M1088a anitlock brakes? :razz: I'm going to do the...
Josh at Elizabethtown, KY-super guy! Josh took my call after hours!
My m1088 shipping company no-showed twice. Josh and his buddy (little Josh?) :naner:(best man in his wedding) were great help!
Just curious what people use to lift their 5 ton truck.
Also, if anyone knows where I can get an adapter that prevents sliding at the end of the piston.
Thanks!
Hi guys!
Well after a month of delivery disasters, my m1088 FINALLY arrived :grin:
The passenger side rear brake air lines appear to have been snapped off for some reason. I need some opinions on the repair.
1. Would you have a new fitting pressed on the old hoses? (assuming it is in good...
I have M1088 being delivered today:D This is my first military truck.
Can the tires be inflated manually with an air hose? My right front and right rear tires don't seem to want to inflate. I can hear a regulator whine (i think that is what it is) next to the 3 tanks. Maybe this is where the...
