1089A1 owner here.

I'm completely without any Cat knowledge or contacts. :-(

Hey folks. I have a late 90s M1089A1 that is throwing a check engine light and derating when this happens. I have a DPAIII Plus and the software but am wary of trying to connect it to the truck as I don't know where to connect it. The kit has a lot of adapter cables and the ICE...

Some words of wisdom right there.

I am so in! I have a truck, just need to start convertin

I had good luck with a very beefy slide hammer/seal remover borrowed from the local parts shop. Worked great on 2 different front seals. I do like Cattlerepairman's solution. No hammering required.

Got the fender on and the bed off. The bed had a LOT of sand packed in all the nooks and crannies so I found a good excuse to buy a pressure washer. Word to the wise: Work on your brakes while the bed is off. What a difference because I flipped the hubs while the bed was off, but reworked the...

Thanks. It's actually done already. I painted it the current green/black/brown camo scheme. I'll get some more pics posted soon. It's almost as hard to organize the pictures as it is to flip the hubs on these rascals.
