    1995 Stewart & Stevenson 1078: New Acquisition Need Input

    Honestly, avoid excessive hills, stresses, etc. Keep your speed 35 and under and use back roads if they are less demanding.

    1995 Stewart & Stevenson 1078: New Acquisition Need Input

    I would add that anything exposed to UV, like air hoses for the brakes, should be suspect. They get brittle. Not hard nor expensive to replace, there are just 1000's of them lol Get your wife involved.

    1995 Stewart & Stevenson 1078: New Acquisition Need Input

    Honestly, you're much better off to learn how to do the work yourself by educating yourself and buying a few tools and asking questions. Then you will know how to fix it in the future. Nothing is that hard, just tedious. Get it running and RUN down to the driveshaft shop to get the driveshafts...

    5 lights a flashing on CTIS-Interesting

    True, but these are occult leaks that might be missed if the hoses aren't separated.

    I've never seen my m1088 transmission cooler fans come on

    Anyone with an M1088 see their trans cooler fans come on? I don't tow, so maybe the temp has not gone up enough to trigger. Radiator gets hot. Maybe needs new relay or thermostat?

    Talk Me Out of My Fascination With Owning an LMTV

    FMTV's are just plain cool. They draw a lot of attention. They are fun drive and make Jeeps look like toys :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: What will this vehicle be used for ? If it is just a hobby truck to fiddle with, then jump in. If it is going to used as an Overlanding RV, then tread much...

    A warning to those doing the A/C conversion

    After investigating the thread damage, I realized what happened. The stock bolts appear to be 85 mm. The bolt spec for the addition of the OEM A/C pulley is 90mm. Short bolt pulled the threads. In hindsight, JB Weld blue locker is probably fine, but I did switch back to loctite. The more...

    How to add a liter of displacement to your CAT for about $170

    One wonders if an add on water jacket might help or even a fan.

    A warning to those doing the A/C conversion

    Interesting. That's what I thought it was, based on what I saw online. Torqued to 47 and they ALL gave out. Possibly over-torqued before by someone I bet. Helicoil saved the day.
