    CAT 3116 A/C pully not really needed? LMTV FMTV

    I like the idea of using those pulleys for additional accessories, but by moving the ac compressor aft to line up with the alternator pulleys, you might have an issue with the aft end of the compressor hitting the service air compressor. Just a concern. As far as angle wrap around the...

    A/C Disaster on my M1078

    Can you show pictures of how it is mounted to the engine? There are folks with a similar setup all over here. Would like to know if this was just something unique about you or is everyone else at risk. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Are hydraulic winches hard to come by?

    Are you saying there is a wire that can be grounded or powered that would allow the pto to engage while not in neutral? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Center bar on trucks.

    All, After being on the sidelines for a while, I plan to get a 1088A0 (would take a different 6x6) this coming Spring. I have been talking to various dealers/sales people. What is the best source on for determining who is reputable and less likely to sell me a lemon? I have...

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    The 1088 has 3 axles..... Are you looking for two trucks worth of gears or do you have one gear set and need two more to complete the truck? I was confused by your post. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
