I will check into a new one. According to the diesel mechanic at the truck shop said there are 3 check valves on the engine. One at the water separator, one at the filter, and on at the recirc line. So far, I found the o ring at the recirc valve is rough. Ran out of time for today.
I have been looking high and low, and cannot find door latches for my M1088. One guy has a passenger door one for sale on eBay, but I can't bring myself to pay 160 plus shipping. Is there a civilian market for this part, maybe from caterpillar? I know a lot of these truck parts are common on...
