    New to me M1088

    Did you have the push button controller on the dash fixed, or the trans ECU that resides under the passenger side kick panel?

    Voltmeter gauge not working

    I believe it attaches to the firewall between the heater control cables as shown in the pic

    Tires other than Military MTRs

    The three main mil spec tires(radial) Ive seen are the Goodyear MT, Goodyear MTR, and the BFG BAJA. I have the BAJA on 24 bolt wheels

    Wiper Extension

    Good info. I can see them on my m1123 in EUC limbo. One less thing to figure out.

    Wiper Extension

    My guess is a wiper extension for the thicker armored windshield glass? I haven't seen one with my own eyes yet. Does it have a set screw on it somewhere? Hit it with some PB Blaster just for good luck.

    What are these parts called ?

    Yes....as they were manufactured. But, still much easier to buy. I have all the equipment at work to make them and wouldn't waste my time on making some.

    To me, bad diesel smells like turpentine. It was cloudy brown. But this is Arizona and very dry here. Good diesel is bluish green and smells like diesel.

    Luverne Style Brush Guard material dimension question for a custom build!

    Actually, it does. Its almost neutrally balanced

    What are these parts called ?

    Just judging from your avatar, this may not pertain to your truck...but the front retainers mount facing forward to give the top the correct tension in the 2 man configuration

    Hood markings?

    I don't have it yet as its in EUC limbo. The pics I have don't show a UIC anywhere. It looks like it was a fresh rebuilt MAK truck that looks to have gone directly to storage and never issued.

    Rear flap tie down failures

    That makes sense. Years ago, Ancra made the best motorcycle tie down straps with that kind of tensioner lock. I still have a set thats nearly 35 years old and still in better shape than much newer knockoffs. These buckles are a sad perversion of their good name. Ive never seen a full metal...

    What are these parts called ?

    Yeah, those are for the two man cargo top bows. The long ones are for the rear bow. There are upper ones that are just the loop. The lower ones have the welded washer. The lowers are all left or right handed. I think there are 6 different styles in the kit of 16 retainers

    Rear flap tie down failures

    I was talking about if you broke a hook and didn't have a good one to replace it, you cant just use the bare strap to tie through the body loop as a field expedient

    LED Pushbutton Switch Install

    If you insist on running that switch, you need to hack those tabs off. They are there to space the lever type switch back further in the dash because it will be too close to the turn signal lever if it isn't. The push button switch is significantly shorter from its mounting plane to the top...

    Rear flap tie down failures

    Who ever designed these things was a psychopath. Hard to use new. Need two hands to loosen when soiled. Break easily. It has more modes of failure than moving parts....which is quite an accomplishment in itself. And the strap is usually to wide to go through the stupid "thing" on the body and...

    Hood markings?

    That's most likely. It was one of the many 2 door MAK trucks recently demil-ed at Yermo.

    Aloha from a newby

    Probably easiest on top of the tank itself. Ive been really happy with the hand pump though . Priming has always been quick and easy.
