The M1088's history is still be researched. It is indeed a M1088 tractor but was converted to a cargo for VFD use at some point. I have some sources saying it was redone before S&S donated it to VFD as a promotion but I'm still looking for documentation. This M1088 is closer to a "A0" truck in...

The truck included 2 remote controls (one for a M1089) and a cable as well. The cab cover has a built in hatch. There is a red toggle switch on the left side of the steering column assumed to be a remove battery disconnect like later A1 trucks but has yet to be proven. Overall the truck isn’t...

The alternator is an unknown Niehoff 14v/28v S/N 00052 with no NSN or other identifying info on it. It too was made in 1992 supporting the production date of the truck itself. The one large plug on the unit goes down and feeds directly into the box beside the battery tray. The electricals in the...

A unique feature is the addition of mudguards attached to the cab support assembly. It melds well with the black fenders and would explain why they went with that lipped style but begs the question of why they didn't make it to production. Cost cutting? Possible damage with the air ride cab? Who...

Now for the fun part..differences. S&S went with a spring cab suspension in place of the air ride. In fact there is no air assist system at all for the cab, suspension, spare tire assembly, etc. Each hydraulically driven system (excluding crane) is on a simple flow system that is isolated from...

**This thread may continue to develop as facts and documentation are discovered.** I had the fortune of unknowingly recovering 2 prototype MTVs this past week from a location not too far from the old Stewart & Stevenson plant in Sealy, Texas. I'm doing the due diligence of documenting the...

I've had 2 of those units (clones) and running ET 2019A and they never could connect. I had a DPA3 adapter from the military that worked and a DPA4+ that also worked with the software.

It's always been 12 months on these as far as I've seen. I have a few going on 5 years strong but I assume it's dependent on the truck they're in.

It sounds like you have multiple issues going on with the most serious being unable to connect to the ECM. I have a thread on this "crank, no start" issue and it was the ECM that failed internally due to faulty battery and wiped its memory. If your computer can't talk to the ECM do the...

24F from Wally-World. They're cheap, durable, and readily available if you're on the road and need one.

You linked something else but yes everything is from the APO there. EUC's still required. Everything is "OFF ROAD USE ONLY. NO EXCEPTIONS." Nothing too special since you can't drive it on the road imho.

That's quite a bit of white smoke, what does it smell like? It could be a stuck injector, low compression on one or more cylinders, or head/head gasket issues. I'd start with the basics and check coolant and oil for signs of contamination and track from there. You can run the engine with the...

You're right, he did. I'm curious to the cause as I have a C7 with the same issue and never found the cause.

Time to drop the oil pan and see what's going on in there.

7 M1008/M1028s sold on GP a week ago out of Texarkana. You just need to keep looking. Most of them are out of the system by now but some members here may have good trucks for fair prices too.

I've been there and it turned out that an exhaust valve was open allowing moisture into cylinder #3 causing it to be stuck. It was in a M929 so I couldn't pull start it but in your case lube the cylinders again and give her a pull then drop that clutch. Being a tractor you may not have enough...

I'll have to get that info. The truck was cold (not warmed up) and ambient temp outside was 99F. The first chart in my first post shows the ohms per solenoid circuit but they don't match up to the spec per temp the TM shows. This temp to resistance doesn't match up either. I measured each...

Well the big issue is solved only for another to appear. Code 45 12 - "Open Circuit A". This code is a halt operations code so the transmission will not engage in any gear until solved. I'm at wits end chasing this germlin so maybe someone will think of something. I followed the TM and in the...

Unloaded a HEMTT with the M1088A1. Despite being half the weight it handled the job like a champ.

I'm outside without cover. I watch the weather meticulously and paint mid-mornings.
