. There is a member here that sells Master locks - keyed alike sets. I have purchased several sets so everything I have uses one key... Member @319 Link to his For Sale listing under Tools and Misc https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/padlock-set-usgi.213021/

. Here is my electrical "plumbing" for the inverter in my M1088. Pictures are easier than a lot of talking...

. Might be worth starting now - soaking the threads with your favorite penetrating oil. A week of squirting it daily isn't too much. You might find a steering wheel puller that could be rented at your local parts house...

. Welcome to the Outfit! Well, it seems that @M35fan beat me to the punch on asking for pictures... You should definitely create a thread for you and your truck. It really is amazing what happens over time when you have a new-to-you truck and a camera. :) And @TomTime beat me to the punch...

. It is funny how it works - at least for me. I have a M1088 that has a 3126 so it is a little newer than my M1089. The M1089 has a 3116 in it. That particular truck will sit for a month and fire right off every time. The M1088 will sit for a week and be fine. A week and a couple of days -...

. Welcome to the Outfit! The books (TM's) for your M1089 is part of the 1083 Series of vehicles. A link for that is below. They are BORING but a lot of things are in them. Flow Charts for troubleshooting and part numbers in another book. Search is your friend! Chances are that you will...

. Nice find @chucky ! The cool part is that the tank drain would still be at about the same level - about "frame high". I wonder if there is a minimum requirement for the number of tanks? Maybe there is a two tank minimum - just to CYA if one tank ruptured? @Mavcaster , this might be an...

. So, I can't claim any sort of engineering degree associated with Air Brake systems. I can say that with the past 40 years of experience with air brake systems - I have never seen air tanks any higher than in side the frame rails. The M1088 and that family of trucks have three tanks. You...

. There you go... Trying to have a little fun here. :cool: @Light in the Dark and/or @Guyfang can give you better suggestions than I. The generator out back cranks up on a timer once a week. It runs for an hour, then shuts back down and the "pole power" is restored.

. The hint was to have another machine - rather than spare parts. A regular testing schedule will help you a lot for sure...

. Wonder if it maybe had some sort of "box on the back" and shorter exhaust was how and why. Kinda like you mentioned @Coug . . .

. Well... It appears that someone may have made modifications to YOURS, but basically yours looks somewhat "stock" but is shorter than what I might call "stock". I did a quick web search and yours appears to be about a foot shorter than normal...

. Guessing there are no part numbers at all? Looking at the picture, it looks like one sensor has a single electrical connector (maybe self grounding?) and the other might appears to have two electrical connections? Possibly? .

. Take a look at Bertha. I'm sure @kendelrio can help you with a good working paint formula. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachments/20230216_134216-jpg.891304/

. Well... Everybody has an opinion, but the 3116 (mechanical) and 3126 (electronic) CAT engines in the Stewart & Stevens and BAE Systems trucks don't seem all that bad to me. I mean there is a thing called "the oil line of death" on the 3116. If you have that power plant, you need to inspect...

. That's great! Glad to hear that you were able to get the problem resolved with the dribble of information that I could find. AND, an extra thanks for your followup with a post saying so. :)

. . Welcome to the Outfit! You have a nice collection of green toys! Enjoy your time here. Make use of the TM Section and don't ever hesitate to post of more pictures of your adventures. There are quite a few "picture hounds" here - including me. :) Again, welcome to the group. Tim

. Welcome to the Outfit! You know... There are folks here who want it "factory" and then there are folks who want some "green iron" or "desert tan" and all kinds of hot rod upgrades. Do it your way! It's the American Way and enjoy it. We all get excited to see pictures and occasionally we...

. Best / Easiest answer explaining what a "Carrier" is in a differential would be to search "differential-carriers" maybe even at Summit Racing. They have a lot of things available that might be useful for you. Including gear sets and bearings. EDIT: And @deank has the TM (Technical Manual)...

. Great!! Thank You. Looking at the picture, that little button should "pop out" How loose is the vent window handle? Wondering if one of the spring washers or little nylon pieces have deteriorated? I found a YouTube video that might be useful. I am still poking around for the TM pages...
