    Cab air spring new replacement part number & source

    Do the springs vent at the back? When my M1088 is stopped, there is a loud rush of air from the base of the holder. Normal or possibly bad spring?

    Sorry, not sure what you mean by "pre set up" : )

    Any struggles setting the lash?

    Horse power for different engines without hard upgrades.

    Just Google the complaints. You will see what I'm talking about.

    Horse power for different engines without hard upgrades.

    Just an FYI, these engine often self- destruct by dropping valves.

    Horse power for different engines without hard upgrades.

    It looks like the primary difference between the 3116 and the 3126 is the fuel delivery. The blocks are pretty much the same. Thus, the ability to transfer heat is similar and so is the longevity, from what I read.

    Horse power for different engines without hard upgrades.

    Has anyone done water injection on these trucks with success? I would like to keep that EGT down. Larger aftercooler maybe?

    Horse power for different engines without hard upgrades.

    Agree. I recently got my m1088 going and it pulls hard and fast with the stock gearing. Going with more hp and torque will likely cause issues in other areas.

    Horse power for different engines without hard upgrades.

    I realize that you do not want to do a hardware upgrade, but I think understanding the challenges is beneficial. I have been looking at upgrading at some point. You really need to go with a wet sleeve diesel for significant increases in power. Any increases in power shorten engine life. Wet...

    Regulator bad? my lights have a consistent regular higher frequency flicker

    Regulator bad? my lights have a consistent regular higher frequency flicker. Guessing around 50 hz or so. I charged the batteries. Does not seem like a ground, but maybe?

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    Ah, the pumpkin. I need 3 high speed pumpkins : ) Anyone have some to sell? 6x6 says he's out of them. Wonder who bought all of those axles.

    What is a third member?

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    So this means there are no more high speed axles left? Can you buy the parts new? Afraid to ask the price.

    Good source for U Joint fir M1088

    I'm looking for ujoints for my m1088. I got my truck out of the driveway and down the road for the first time yesterday. Sounds like there is a rotational sound at various speeds. The nameplate does have the "D" on it. I friend thought it might be U joints. Does anyone know a good source for...

    Keyed Igintion-are they really that expensive?

    While I realize there are unseen costs ( I have a Business Degree), your analogy misrepresents fix and variable costs, and COGS. You spread the costs of the correct tool across the ALL of units you sell. Wire at $10? Go buy a switch at $ 25-50 (you drive and buy each one?). Seriously, would you...

    Keyed Igintion-are they really that expensive?

    I have seen a number of keyed ignition switches advertised by various military sellers. The ones that I have seen seem maybe a bit more expensive than the typical ignition switch. Is this some sort of special switch that handles 24 volts and high amps?

    Replaced the brake system drier, now no pressure at gauges

    Governor is on the compressor at the engine. Mine did not require any adjustment.

    Replaced the brake system drier, now no pressure at gauges

    Well Suprman was right. The hoses were reversed. It can be confusing. The new Haldex drier from Suprman has one feature I really like, a softer release of the air. Thus, it is much quieter in my neighborhood.
