    Just won an auction - M1088A1

    The auxiliary transmission cooler came off today. The plumbing seems to have been transmission to primary cooler, primary cooler to valve (thermostat valve?) then back to transmission. The valve has an output to the auxiliary cooler and and return from the Auxiliary cooler. I guess you...

    Where do I find details on that? I'm still a noob here and about these trucks

    Transmission Access

    Yes, we're thinking about that. Our first thought was to put the bathroom in front, toilet room on one side, shower on the other, pass through in the middle. Over the last couple of days, we've been considering putting a dinette booth in front, with the pass through either above the back of...

    Thanks Kevin: I don't recognize the stacked rails on our M1088. We've got one rail. Some sections have a second slightly smaller rail inside and in some sections there's a plate on the outside. I'd like to keep the top of the solar panels below 12' if I can. There's a 12 foot high garage...

    I have an M1088 that I am *slowly* getting ready to put a habitat box on. As I proceed removing things, I'm thinking about habitat roof height, which gets me to the transmission height. I'm thinking about putting a transmission hump in the floor. What are you doing about that and what...

    I got the platforms off today, one small one left behind the aux transmission cooler. My next step is to remove the aux transmission cooler

    Well I've made a little more progress. The spare tire lift is now off. It was a struggle. I needed to cut the last two bolts off and wrestle it around the air intake pipe. But I got it off. Now I'm working on lubing the chassis. Half of the zerks on the drive shaft accepted an impressive...

    Front winch on stock bumper? Midwest Military Equipment sells a replacement bumper for LMTV / FMTV that has a provision to take a winch. It's VERY expensive. The front bumper on my M1088 is very solid. I'm thinking to weld a winch mount onto that, maybe below the gladhands so that I don't...

    The flashers are working now! I have working Hazard lights and turn signals. I did two things: I unplugged the solid state flasher module and sprayed both sides of the connector with electronic cleaner. Then I cleaned up the circuit board using small foam brushes I got all the dust off and...

    It's a 2003 M1088 A1. I've downloaded all the TMs for the 1083s would it be in there somewhere? OK, I just found the FMTVA1 schematic.

    While under the dash, under the passenger kick plate, I found three cables with connectors that were not connected to anything. What are they for?

    The turn signals and emergency flashers don't work on my M1088. I just found the flasher unit: I tested the flasher box. It flashes with 12v DC hooked up and a test light. I'll clean the connector. Is there something else I should check?
