Please forgive me if this has been asked before, but I didn't find much from searching the forums. I'm a nube to these trucks, got home last Sunday from driving my 2008 M1078 A1R from Maryland to California. I have a variety of things I need to address before continuing to drive the truck and am hoping you all can lend me some help relative to navigating the TM's. I have the TM's for the truck, but not having any luck figuring out where they hide the torque specs in the TM's. Maybe I just haven't found the correct TM yet. My immediate need are the torque specs for the M8 fasteners in the timing cover plate, the M12 bolts through the timing case for the air compressor, and the bolts in the motor mounts to the block.
Anyway, what I haven't seen is anything that explains the logic of the TM's and how to navigate them and they don't seem to be labeled very well. Seems labeling is all numbers rather than something that tells you what is in the particular TM, like just be a list of the parts in a specific system with their part numbers vs the actual procedure of servicing that particular system. Again, my apologies if this is akin to asking "what's the best motor oil"![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
