Then it started to not downshift on its own, and stalled the truck. I had to manually downshift the rest...

    M1088 transmission trouble

    So, I have a 98 m1088 with the wtec iii transmission. When I first got it, it would shift into drive and reverse, but going down the road wouldnt shift out of 3rd gear.

    M1088 fuse block nightmare!

    Soooooo, not a fan of the spaghetti mess under the fuse block. It was nice when they labeled every wire so you could locate things easier. On my new FMTV tractor, there is one fuse socket (cb44, "trailer tail lights") that appears to have melted. The wire coming off the fused side is missing...
