Hi Guys! Just curious is anyone re-routed or blocked access their dipsticks on the driver's side to prevent mischief. Thanks!

Hi Guys! I need to clean out the cab lift hydraulic lines and check valves on my m1088. I assume the check valves are in the manifold? What is the best method to do this? Do you flush with anything in particular? Push air through the lines? Add a little alcohol? Are the little filters in the...

I think the steering wheel would be a nice place to upgrade the interior. Anyone do this yet?

Can we get a Emergency / dead on the side of the road perm. section for the major sections of this site? Maybe call it BEACON or something. Would be great if the header would flash like a beacon when someone is stranded. Then our attention as members can be quickly drawn to the people that...

I was thinking about how quickly the air tanks run out of air with repeated braking. While I have never driven in ice or snow in my truck, might a larger tank allow you to pump the brakes a lot more before no air (assuming no antilock brakes) and thus be safer? Maybe I'm missing something.:)

Should I use 1 locker or 2 lockers at the rear of an m1088? If only 1, which set of wheels would you put it on?

I'm having issues with the panel of rotary switches that direct air to the cab, suspension mounted on the passenger side of the truck. I need to search for info. Anyone know the official name of this thing?

I have been trying for some time to get a grease gun on those U joints in the steering. It is so tight in there, I could not get to the fitting, which was a 90 degree zerk. I ended up getting some 30 degree angle grease fitting from Fastenal. Tractor Supply did not have what I needed. I wanted...

I have never dealt with diesel truck engine fuel delivery, always gas. Thus, I don't know that much about the delivery system differences, other than the mega expensive, don't touch it, injector pump lol My question is this. A common "dead on the side of the road" issue in gas vehicles is a...

Just curious what others have used to replace their radiator hoses and lines with? Did you stay with cloth wrapped silicone hose? Sources would be helpful : )

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sS35Nnyy6E I have changed how I handle my tire inflation. Old tires? Get rid of them. It's not worth it.

I have the Technical Manuals, but finding torque specs seems to be allusive. I absolutely hate the way these manuals are set up. aua Anyone recall the exact spindle nut and hub cover torque specs?

My truck came from a snow / salt region. Thus, my drums are seized. Here is my removal device. Made it with a Harbor Freight engine stand I had and a bottle jack. Chains rated at 11k # x 4. Hooks (rated at 10k #)came from HF too. This tool require reinforcement at the 4 swing out arms, as they...

I guess I should organize my rebuild / build info, for the sake of ease of cataloging / searching. Here is my first contribution to this thread: Inexpensive driving light improvement-I used Novus System plastic polish. Used for airplanes. Good stuff. I use it for detailing my cars too. For...

Easy peezy and cheap mod. Total cost: About $4 dollars (online auction) Total time: About an hour I left the leads from the truck unmodified, so can be returned to original form. Use a step drill bit and go slow. Dremel the last portion for a tight fit. Now to LED light all the gauges...

Can any other info. be gleaned from this paperwork, like where it was used in the USA. Just curious....

:shrugs:I I'm trying to identify a cross to or repair kit for this valve at the rear of my m1088. I have ran all of then numbers, but am having trouble crossing it. It's the one in the middle in the second picture.

Hi Guys! Well I went out to adjust the lash on the front hubs, only to find another issue. On the passenger side rear glad hands, air is rushing out of what I believe to be a check valve. 1. Should I just replace the whole unit (rubber grommet at seal has seen better days) 2. Are these...
