Sad thing is now that everyone is more aware of “tire age”, tires aren’t what they used to be, especially with the junk Chinese rubber flooding the market...
Installed my new parking brake cable (gotta love those hard to reach, rusty, extra long, fine thread bolts with lock-nuts!!!) and air dryer.https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?127668-New-PURest-air-dyer-install-on-M923A2
I finally installed my new air dryer yesterday a few things I ran into, that you might want to check before you dive into your install.
-The old control line port is 1/8” NPT, the new dryer was 1/4”, luckily I had a reducer bushing on hand.
-The swivel end on the control hose was sized, and I...
Welcome caled0613, and don’t mind those guys, I think they may have missed lunch today...Post up some pictures of your truck and turbos, would love to see it!
I put the newer ECU from my parts truck on todayit runs the updated 70PSI on Hwy, all other pressures stayed the same. It also has the blackout function as well, where the lights only come on when the normal lights are switched on.

All my tree joking aside, I shouldn’t bust on these guy’s too hard about how power dividers work, I’d bet 75% of professional truck driver don’t understand them.
If this is correct, my vote would be for the rear axle as well, but if you can afford it buy more!
As for the trees, kind of like natural selection, if they can’t take it, it wasn’t meant to be...
Quick and dirty cantilever gantry off the bed and front bumperdepending on the engine weight, could maybe get away with pipe, and a spare tire, jib trolley instead of I-beam.
How many lockersto use for a 6WD M1088?
Ok, tie your tuck to your wimpy tree, jack up one wheel at a time, if it is a typical power divider, each wheel will easily spin while in the air, with no real force applied to your wuss tree;)
