Too bad you're not close enough to pick these up- I've got a brand new in the box 28gr, and a good used 27 that was on my daily driver until the ip went out. I'm doing a BBC/ 12v conversion, and have no use for these. Shipping charges are terrible- was quoted $ 80.00 to ship these to...

Yours does look great. I'm just starting on removing all the diesel stuff and trying to identify what wiring I'm going to need, if I can't find a civvy harness nearby; junkyards down here scrap & shred inventory very quickly, and since I can't really afford the not so painless wiring...

Hi there- IP took a dump, so I'm going big block. I know I can use the IP hot wire for my distributor, but what about the starter/ charging system. Can I remove all of the under dash relays and the associated wiring? BTW, what is the purpose of the 3 condensers that are in a jumper harness to...

Well, I got the tank dropped after wrestling with the frozen skid plate bolts, and when I removed the sending unit, the tank was so clean that I easily saw the galvanized interior, and the sock was almost like new. Just for giggles, I started it up before removal, she ran rough- nothing like she...

if the weather happens to clear up, I want to look at the throttle cable, filter assembly, ip area as well. I probably won't be able to thoroughly look underneath until this weekend, between my work hrs, and the weather, laying in water while shining a light looking at fuel lines, just doesn't...

I'm just about there myself, after bring mine home on a stretcher.................

Alright, here goes: bought a 1028 from fleabay, and it's been my daily/only driver for a year and 10k miles, with little to no problems. I do regular p.m.'s, check under the hood often, hopefully to spot any potential problems, and don't modify or monkey around under there. I was driving home...

Howdy, I'm looking for a little advice. Bought a 1028 about 6 months ago, and I've put about 5k miles on it since then. It's always cranked and ran fine until coming home this afternoon. I was running about 50ish, when it felt like I kicked it into passing gear, and after that, it was bucking...

Rusty- Yes, the oil cooler inside the radiator can crack. My 1028 had about an inch of oil sitting on top of the antifreeze, when I bought it. Just for $%^& and giggles, I removed the oil cooler lines completely, drained, flushed and refilled the radiator ( and oil cooler) and guess what- no...

I found the original auction from G/L where the previous owner bought it as a non-running vehicle. He did just enough to get it running, and sold it to me. No hacking has been done, and I'm not sure I want to start now. He put all new belts on, and forgot to re-attach all the alt. wiring. I'm...

Howdy ya'll- well, I went and bought a 1028 and have a few ?? I found that the oil cooler in the radiator sprung a leak, so there was about an inch of oil floating on top of the antifreeze. How crucial is the oil cooler in my particular situation- 12 miles each way to work, with the am commute @...

Recruit Hank reporting for duty. I'm a north Florida fella stuck down here in Lake Worth for the foreseeable future. I'm a total noob when it comes to diesels, but have 30+ yrs. playing with old muscle cars and I'm ready for a change. What are the "trouble spots" I need to be looking for, when...
