I removed the seat belts so that I could paint the inside of the cab of my M1088 A1 with Lizard Skin. Now I'm trying to put them back in and I can't get them installed so that the automatic locking mechanism works. They lock up fine when they're in my hands and oriented approximately...

Lizard Skin Sound Control in cab done today.

Eco Hubs are installed! I finished the 6th one an hour ago. I'll start filling with gear oil tomorrow. We'll start spraying Lizard Skin on the interior of the cab tomorrow. I did Dynamat Hoodliner under the engine hump last week, so with lower RPMs, Hoodliner and Lizard Skin . . . it shoujld...

After replacing the stock cab air bags with the Eco Hub rubber springs, my air leaks seem to be gone! It seems that the cab air bags were the largest culprit. I'll see how this goes, but prior to the rubber spring install, air would leak down in an hour or so. Now it's holding at 120 PSI for...

Ron: That hint was VERY helpful. I hadn't thought to look on the rear axle. Sure enough, the air line reaches to a spot on the rear axle where there was a broken off portion of that 45 degree elbow. I hadn't recognized that as a broken fitting. If I ever looked at it, I may have thought it...

The brake and CTIS lines are clear, obvious and not the ones in question "Each axle should have a vent line to the top of the axle housing. There should be the control air line to the power divider on the intermediary axle differential(AWD to 6WD control when mode/6X is selected)" Here's a...

I have an air line at the back of the frame on my M1088 that has been disconnectged since I got the truck from GovPlanet. The air line goes to intermediate axle. There's a T that goes through the cross brace to an elbow with a kind of cap that rotates freely. On the intermediate axle there...

I drove the truck about 15 miles round trip to a medical appointment today . . . my Jeep is in the shop. On smooth pavement, it felt fine. I've got about a mile of that here, then rough pavement. On the rough pavement the truck bounced quite a bit. I'm fairly certain that this is mostly an...

OK, they are now installed. One of the bolts on the drivers side original airbag was difficult to get out. I finally realized that I could move the cab latch arch and I got it out. I'll drive the truck tomorrow and report on how it rides. I've got the HD version of the rubber springs in...

It's obvious now that I have the airbag off. Passenger side is now installed. Bolts on the drivers side airbag are resisting coming off. They are currently soaking with Kroil

Thanks!

Which side goes up? There are slots on one side and holes on the other. What's the best way to install these?

I'm making some progress. The fifth wheel plate is off, the auxiliar transmission cooler is off, the work platforms are off and I've painted more on the frame. I also tracked down and fixed a couple of air leaks today. Here's the latest picture. I'll be out of town for a couple of weeks...

I emailed you the address and FEDEX info. After we make the drawings, with your permission I'll make them available to anyone who wants them

Chris: If you'd be willing to part with the plywood for a little while, you could send the pieces to me using my FEDEX account and we'd make the drawings, we could then return the plywood to you if you need it.

Chris: I was just contemplating such a structure this afternoon, but you've already done it. I want one. I like the idea of the unmodified bumper, your version 1. If you make a CAD drawing and are willing to share it, I can get mine fabbed, or make a few of them. Dwight

OK, I've figured it out. Nate Volk did an auxiliary transmission cooler delete on his M1088 It's apparent that he took the return hose off of the valve (thermostat valve?) and connected that hose to the elbow that's now on the transmission "to cooler" port. He didn't get a new hose, just...

The 5th wheel plate weighed in at 1020 pounds. According to the TM it should have been 980. I'm not sure where the extra 40 pounds came from. The M1088, after 5th wheel plate removal, with auxiliary transmission cooler still attached, was 17,020 pounds. I don't have a weight following the...
