I just got a m1088, but was missing all the batteries.
it has 4 wires coming from truck and 2 from jump start cylinder.(total 6)
if I hook them up like you would think, all 24V way it does nothing.
but if I hook one of the wires on 12V way it starts rite up, iam so lost(nothing like my m925)
if any one has this new tipe truck and can show me a picture that would be great:lol:
or the TM that would show me, cant find the rite one.
oh and is there any batteries that I can buy that will fit in the battery box? square battery holes

It has a 12v/24v system, do NOT hook it up wrong, the electrics ARE 12v (computer, trans, some relays, ect.), starts on 24v, starter relay is 12v.

thanks I just read some thing that said 12/24V on them, so I guess that's whats going on.
just need to find a picture on whats what. I tried looking at wires to figure it out but still no clue since 2 off of alt. go to a box with more wires then to battery, figure its a regulator.
any one know of the TM it would be in, cant find it.

from floor to top of plate when level its 63"
but that's with 395/85r20 tires, so it could be lower if you get smaller tires for it.
haven't got title yet but did some hill climbing up a dirt pile that I cant even walk up if I wanted 20 ft high and had no problem
truck rocks!!!!!!

It would be awfully slow with smaller tires. Mine does 57 tops. Good to know they can actually go offroad. Not too many places where I am to do it though. All the trails are jeep size I would end up stuck between 2 trees. GP takes a long time with paperwork. In CT I can just do a bill of sale over 20 years.

Wow that's tall. Not practical for civilian trailers. Have a logging operation hoping to use this as truck in the roads. Have a M1078 and its a blast. Have lots of trails in the woods to use it on.

Can you tell me the purpose of the Hydraulics on the M1088? I see a cooler on the rear and the hydraulic unit behind the drivers side front tire. Thanks

Air over hyd unit behind cab is used for cab and spare tire raise and lowering. Rear cooler on a tractor is aux trans cooler. My M1083 has an aux cooler hidden under the bed near the winch also.
