you should keep the whole thing . There is a whole list of parts you should keep. If it is only block that is cracked, keep it as is under cover.

I live here in maine as well central me. I painted my M1010 a few years ago. I went to the local Sherman Williams store the referred to a Sherman Williams indusial store . the closest one is in conn. I called them great people . talked to them told them what I wanted and they mailed it to me no...

sorry everybody them pictures were from about 10 years ago when I painted my M1010 then put a flat bed on it. I was just trying to post pictures to see if I could. the truck was a daily driver until 2 years ago when I bought a RAM. the picture of the door with the white and green is...

looks to me like the filter bushing the is for the bolt that goes with a filter. I have had several 400's apart there is nothing like that inside....

OK thanks that is the kind of input I was looking for.. I will look at some other sites before I make any kind of move. again Thank you.

So I have searched with out a lot of luck. I am looking for posts about swapping a Duramax Diesel into a M1028. I have a chance to buy a 2001 4 door dwr. 3500 GMC cheap 1000.00 (engine does have a bad head gasket) and 200,000 miles on it. I am looking to maybe put the engine and trans and the...

why can't you use Equal ??? lots of over the road truck have air systems on the tires and have Equal .. I use Equal in all my tires from my pick up to jeeps to car trailers .. when I owned tractor trailers I used it in all 10 tires. I felt it helped with wear and I know it helped with balance...

just throwing my 10 cents in on this matter. I have had my 1010 for 10yrs. 8 years as a daily driver. I just have to say that I think there is other things going on if these trucks don't start in the cold. I say this due to the fact that I never had a problem with mine starting once I got...

I as well would like some parts I would like all the controls for the PTO off the engine for my 1031. so maybe think about selling what you can to fund buying and fixing a regular bed. what I need is all of the stuff that goes with the PTO.

Are you around the capital area ?? just a guess using Fastenal . I as well live in ME. about 40 mile from Augusta. just wondering. so can look for you around the town as for work, I am there a lot in the Augusta area.

so after all these comments and ideas the big question what are your plans for it.. Try to sell it and make a profit or keep and run ? Or trade it what?? So when you make your mind up let us all know..

Just my two cents .. ok you had a bearing failure ok.. since the truck is home and on jack stands you can now read the manuals and watch some you tube and fix that. To me you are talking about a whole lot of work when you have not taken the time to take apart what you have and access just how...

First I think the things you have done are great and intriguing would like to know what you have a recirculating pump for under hood is it for house heating when power lost or for back or trucking but my first guess is some sort of engine heating. the stereo and speaker + amp is cool. would like...

replace the drums as well they are warped and worn. the drums are not much money either. seals and bearings while you are there and then forget for about 5-10 years any way. even though the drums "look good" there is small grooves that the new shoes will ride on and not be as strong stopping...
