Oh I got a great one here for ya. Just now hooked my 07 1097R1 to a water buffalo trailer (400 gallons) so put it in L lock. Truck pulled it around my property perfect but noticed mt temp gauge pegged to 240 right off but thermfan didnt come on. Also didnt want to come out of L lock. I tried the...
I took these two-piece OEM split rims and 37" tires off my 07' 1097R1, they weighed between 225 and 350 pounds depending on if they had the runflat insert or not. I replaced them with OEM Dodge Ram 3500 rims (correct offset) and 20 ply radials, what a difference on the road. I also installed a...

Hi folks, Im asking if anyone has a source for high performance seats (driver + passenger) for the M1088? I tried air seats at Peterbilt but the seat foundation/air controls made the seat way too tall. Ive made a tactical water tender from a 1998 Stewart & Stevenson M1088 and I need supportive...
Hey folks, just weighing in to add to the conversation on the M916A3. I work for the Oregon Dept of Forestry and I just picked my new water tender up from Smith Equipment in Prineville OR, last week. ODF bought the truck through FFP for $750 and we had a 3030 gallon tank, 1000 gpm pto pump, self...
