Power service diesel Kleen is what he's using.

Hello all, my son started putting injector cleaner in his 1985 1028, and I'm wondering if there can be too much of a good thing. Is there any reason to use injector cleaner with each and every fill up, and is there any harm in doing so?

I removed the pressure switch, JB welded a screw in the hole, and so far so good. It's been running pretty well for about a month, so I hope that that has solved the problem. Thanks very much for all of the help!

So the pressure sensor is for no use other than testing?

Removed the pressure sensor and o ring looks fine. What is the ste-ice test unit?

Thanks. I will check it out.

Hello all, My son's 1985 1028 is experiencing some type of problem which I believe is fuel related. It runs fine for several days or more and then after sitting for a few days will not start. If he bleeds the fuel filter, then it usually starts. Little by little, we are eliminating many red...

Many thanks! Appreciate all of the information.

Thanks for the reply. So I can just buy plain old brake line and use that?

Hello all, Getting ready to replace fuel lines on my son's 1985 1028, and have a few questions. Does diesel fuel require a special fuel line? Is brake line the same as fuel line, and are they interchangeable? Is the supply line 3/8" and the return line 1/4"? Is there a better alternative to...

My local mechanic said that diesel fuel actually helps to preserve metal, and he doubted that the lines or the tank would need to be replaced, although he had not actually seen the truck. Does that make any sense?

Thanks for all of the replies. My son was out of town and he and a friend ended up replacing the fuel filter and the fuel pump and the truck started. Hopefully I will get a chance to look at the used filter, or at least have him do it when he can. I think the fuel lines should still be replaced...

Hello all, my son's 1985 m1028 fuel filter keeps clogging up. I replaced the gas tank 200 miles ago and filter clogged again. Could this be because of the fuel lines, which I did not replace? Is there another possible suspect? thanks for any advice.

I got the replacement parts at NAPA: http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?R=NDP7352822_0374189458 The pin in the kit might be too long, and if so can be cut to the right length. I would try it first before cutting it. You can find illustrations in the Technical Manuals...

I see the error of my ways. (first time ever). I was checking resistance on the glow plug leads themselves, not the glow plug terminals as the manual said. Glow plugs are fine.

Hello all, Getting ready to replace fuel filter in M1028, and have two questions: 1. Where can I find the rubber seals for the drain cock and the vent cap? (Are they just o-rings? They look a bit cone shaped, but maybe they're deformed.) 2. Is there a way to test the three switches (pressure...

Hello all. 1028 was running great two days ago, started running rough intermittently, and now suddenly cranks but won't start. Wait light still comes on for 5-10 seconds when key turned on. Bled fuel filter and fuel looked good. Following maintenance manual (TM9-2320-289-20.pdf) troubleshooting...

Thanks, Warthog. It was your information that led me in the right direction! Wait, you mean there's oil in that thing?!:-D

Thanks

I know what you mean about the rust, Marcus. I considered it, but just didn't have the time. At least the rust was cleaned from the electrical connections!
