Hello all, The Gen 2 light is staying on in my son's 1985 M1028. I performed Tow4's test (Testing the Alternator on the Vehicle | SteelSoldiers ) and got excellent results, except for the part of step 2 which states "With the ignition switch on, regulator plug terminal #1 (closest to the B+...

Thanks!

What was the technical name and part number for the high idle temp sensor on eBay? My M1028 is having the same issue and I can't find that part posted anywhere.

Hey all. I have the opportunity to purchase a used 700r4 4x4 out of a '92 Chevy truck. The guy also has the transfer case, TV cable, and torque converter. I've done a little research but frankly I'm still a novice with transmissions, so any advice or help would be appreciated! I'd really like...

Good to know. Thanks for replies!

Hello all, My son sent me pictures of this canister-like device that is mounted on the front bumper of his 1985 M1028 just in front of the radiator. There are two hoses that connect to the radiator. The words "1500 W" and "Model 1500" are printed on the canister. My uneducated guess is that...

Wow. Thanks so much for your work. I have requested a quote from that website and I will post the results.

Thanks for the replies. My son thinks the ratio is 3.07:1. I don't know if the truck originally had a speedometer adapter, but I guess since the rear axle was swapped, it has one now.

Hello all, my son is looking for a speedometer adapter for his 1985 M1028. Right now it has a 10-bolt 1/2 ton rear end, 6 lug axles. Originally it would have been a Dana 60 or 14 bolt full ton rear end with 8 lug axles, or so he says. I am planning to call Memphis equipment in the morning...

Glad it helped. Thanks for the comment!

From what I understand, it goes in front of the motor below all of the belts and the crankshaft head.

I've got a non-turbo '85 6.2 m1028 k30, and I was looking at putting a turbo on it. I found a Banks 6.2turbo that is attached to a '92 6.2 motor (which does not run). I can purchase both for $300, but the only issue is whether the new body style 6.2 banks turbo parts will work will my OBS truck...

Thanks for checking in. Really appreciate all information. Been distracted with other things but will update as appropriate.

We disconnected each terminal individually to test the voltage, while all the rest were still connected to the glow plugs. Don't know if the bypass has been done or not. How could we tell?

We disconnected the terminals from the glow plugs and measured 11 volts when the wait light came on. Is that correct?
