    Pre M48 Conversion - Handling & ride question

    Get a spring driver’s seat. As you go faster the rear tandem will just bounce over bumps, spending a good bit of time in the air. I used to watch them as I drove with the cab top off alot.

    3L80 Tranny issues

    Worth it to check the modulator function and governor gear condition, both can be done with the Hydramatic in the truck.

    Help needed/truck stuck - Cycling pneumatic relay under PDP in 2000 M1088 w/3126

    "Find" as in a new one or on the truck? You know, could there be a possibility that they poked a hole in a tire? The system is supposed to keep the tires at pressure and overcome small leaks.

    Help needed/truck stuck - Cycling pneumatic relay under PDP in 2000 M1088 w/3126

    M1078 crane options/alternatives?
