. @Mavcaster , just the cans on the back axle need to be caged IF you have no air in the brake system. Yessir, I may have mis-stated. There are a total of 8 cans on the two rear axles. Instructions are in the TM. TM-9-2320-366-10-2 Caging Process is extracted from that TM and is attached below.

. Check the spelling of "retract" before you print this one @spankybear

. You need just one bolt on each of the brake cans on the back of the axles on the M1088

. The cage bolts should be in their holders on the spring brake chambers. If they aren't there, NAPA generally has them in stock. Two of the caging bolts on the M1088 are a little shorter than the others. The shock seems to be in the way with the bolts that are a little longer. As far as...

. That looks cold!

. Well, of you do decide to remove the spring pack bolts you may as well go ahead and repack the trunion bearings.

. Include a rain suit and sunglasses so your buyer still has an all-weather vehicle. :cool:

. Yes sir, It sits there on top of the rod that runs through the spring-pack. Best on your operation to replace the dogbones. It has been as easy as pie at times for me - and absolutely miserable too. Hopefully you get the easy version!

. You could... The dogbone is inserted into a tapered (matching) part of the truck. Hitting that chunk of metal rather than trying to drive it out should be easier. Soaking with your favorite penetrating oil might help as well. Plan to buy new U-Bolts when you find them rusted where the mud...

. Small Spelling error on the left inside door?

. Congratulations Gary! Can't wait to see your pictures of the new-to-you truck! (sorry, I have no idea about betteries in that vehicle) .

. There really shouldn't be any oil coming out of the Fording plug. I think you have already answered your own question on the oil pan gasket. :-(

. Looking good! You are making good progress too. .

. Seems to be that you are pretty "spot-on" @ToddJK . Your question made me go look... I would say that something filtered to a half micron is pretty dang finely filtered!

. Thinking that member @Valence is our guy that makes and sells straps. I believe he also sells the bulk material and clips and clamps... Heck, he may already have something available if you ask.

. Along with @Barrman 's cleaning the connections, a tiny bit of Anti-Oxidant paste will help keep those connections clean over time.

. I posted them in the TM Upload Section. Link below: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-208a-skid-mounted-750kw-3-phase-4-wire-nsn-6115-00-450-5881.212771/

. I downloaded the links @ RadioNerds. The TM's -12, -24p, and -34. All are between 7 and 9 mb, so our site will accept them. I can post them if you want to move them to the correct spot @Guyfang . Just let me know...

. The band clamp that goes around the outside of the pancake shaped holders... It is streached? Are the two ends touching? That band clamp should slide a little to actually clamp the rubber. Might be worth snugging the bolt, then lightly tapping all the way around it, then tighten a little...
