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. Innovative Supply Co, Inc 105 A Maple Street...

Hi Guys, I'm working on my M1088. I think this is an air valve of sorts. What does this lever (with the black ball on top) do? : )

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...
