Does anyone know the seal that fits the cab latch that's in the body on the latch side. Not the indicator side mine blew out.

Made by power packer. Some have had luck with generic replacements. I would try that first.

I used Buna o-rings from a kit I had.

The seals on the piston part are just regular o rings. The one that blew out on mine is the one in the actual body of the latch on the latch side. I have tried every o ring kit we have around the shop and nothing has worked yet. It is driving me nuts.

Small keyboard big fingers
I am surprised there isnt a kit out there for this. I thought the main plunger was a square cut o ring...
OP are you referring to one of these shaft seals?

Sorry that I didn't see this earlier. I was able to easily replace that inner (smaller) o-ring with a metric o-ring, on my M1078. I too had tried several of the english numbered o-rings, and none fit just right. I got a small metric o-ring kit and it had one that worked perfectly.
Hopefully this helps someone in the future, who might come across this post.

FWIW, I have invested some time to find the CORRECT seals/wipers for the cab latch and put together an overhaul kit which is available for purchase. These latches are very simple, and they can be resealed without removing them from the truck.
PM if interested, or see the ad in classifieds.
