Yes, there are quite a few people doing this. The concept is called overlanding, which I believe started in Europe. Could start at website called " Two if by land". Martin and Bethany are quite nice and helped me get started. There are three primary cabin types. Aluminum, composite, and Would...

Ordered! Finally something inexpensive! Thank you very much!

Happy, happy, joy, joy....:whistle: Hmmmm..... now my cab won't go up except with the manual system. Saw new oil patch on ground under area of that pump or valve that goes thump thump thump... That sound now goes faster, but the cab does not lift. Any ideas? Is it going to be expensive? Dumb...

These are the things that I have found challenging: 1. Finding a useful part # can be a PITA. Finding a source can be even MORE challenging 2. If it's rubber on these trucks, you will be replacing it and it won't prevent child birth anymore 3. Many parts are specialty items, sourced from all...

Warning- Check your fan clutch RETAINER bolts regularly Make sure that you regularly check those clutch retainer plates for bolts that are backing out. Mine backed out and threw the clutch material and I lost a retaining plate ( there are 3). If you look closely the retainer plates are starting...

Did you find the rubber coating helped sound deaden a lot?

Not sure CAT made these. Maybe I should contact Stewart & Stevenson. Hockey puck? Not a bad idea : )

$400. You reuse the portion inside that looks like a typical shock absorber.

I replaced the air suspension on my M1088. It rides SO much better now. Notice how ballooned the old one was. The leading edge of the rubber shocks on mine were dry rotted. Checking your shock is easy and does not require removal. Just take a mirror and look at the rubber at the bottom. The...

They look nice. Would be even better if they were wheel balancers : )

I'm going to try to smoke the system this week.

Yes, the air filter looks good.
