Yes, you can use 15W50 or so engine oil. This is what the military wanted, not what your expensive Allison 3000 series transmission wants. Your oil may be well-oxidized and worn by now. There are two filters. I shopped and found a WIX filter. Turns out Wix is OEM. Bought closeout 2 filter pack...

I have searched everywhere for CAT technical manuals. The CAT dealer will be happy to sell you some for big bucks. Being the frugal guy I am, I searched everywhere. I found a website in NZ that has a membership fee of $19.00 for 1 week, where you can download the major manuals for this engine...

Hi Guys! Looking to replace all the hoses on the truck. Do we have a good source or cross reference? Thanks!

Happy, happy, joy, joy....:whistle: Hmmmm..... now my cab won't go up except with the manual system. Saw new oil patch on ground under area of that pump or valve that goes thump thump thump... That sound now goes faster, but the cab does not lift. Any ideas? Is it going to be expensive? Dumb...

Warning- Check your fan clutch RETAINER bolts regularly Make sure that you regularly check those clutch retainer plates for bolts that are backing out. Mine backed out and threw the clutch material and I lost a retaining plate ( there are 3). If you look closely the retainer plates are starting...

I replaced the air suspension on my M1088. It rides SO much better now. Notice how ballooned the old one was. The leading edge of the rubber shocks on mine were dry rotted. Checking your shock is easy and does not require removal. Just take a mirror and look at the rubber at the bottom. The...

So something that looks like a composite fiber ring fell out of my fan? Anyone had this issue?

Regulator bad? my lights have a consistent regular higher frequency flicker. Guessing around 50 hz or so. I charged the batteries. Does not seem like a ground, but maybe?

I'm looking for ujoints for my m1088. I got my truck out of the driveway and down the road for the first time yesterday. Sounds like there is a rotational sound at various speeds. The nameplate does have the "D" on it. I friend thought it might be U joints. Does anyone know a good source for...

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...
