paid $1700 for my 1028 with 11000 miles on it. Drives great, tires where bad and fixing to get on the fuel problem with it next week. No rust on it, also has the 205 transfer case. bought it at the local auction. most car lots are selling m1008,m1028's for $2500 and M1009's for $2800.
Someone else on the site had a problem like that and it was the diesel fuel in it. they added some of the lubrication additives in it that helped. One guy is putting 2 cycle oil in every tank.
Just a thought. Good luck with finding out what it is.
I searched forum and did not find anything on Hummer 2 wheels so hope I am not starting a new thread for no reason.
I just found some H2 wheels for a good price and wondering if they find right on or if you have to recenter them or something to put them on my M1028.
The reason I am asking...

Grats just got my first CUCV about 2 months ago. It is a M1028. You have the 205 transfer case instead of the 208. To be sure you Transfercase shifter should not have an indicator on the driver on a 205. You have a M1008 if your floor shifter has the indicator on it. I just raised mine up 4 1/2...

Love the " Big Ugly" project! saw the whole post you have on it. Cup holders is on my christmas list as a must! best mod ever. Do you think the stock wheels will be fine with 36 inch tire? I was going to buy some black steel wheels 16x 10.50's but I have noticed that they have $50 dollars a...
My m1028 is going to a spring shop that a buddy of mine owns and we are going to fab a 4 to 5 inch front and rear lift. I am going with 35 inch tires. In the past that size tire does not put much strain on the powertrain and I should be able to get a little better highway speed out of it. 37...
this connector is coming from the fuse box and was hanging just behind the brake pedal.
thanks ( no gallon to quart jokes plz) lol just joking bring them on!
No I am the confused one( never a diesel). for some stupid reason my mind added up 1 gallon = 8 qts. I went to the store and bought more oil and opened it.It then hit me how stupid I was, on my 5th qt I realized my math error. sorry for the trouble. It all started this morning when I was pulled...
LOL yep I checked underneath to see if all the oil was pouring out somewhere. And no I did not prime the filter( crap I need to remember this stuff) MY older cars do not even use filters so I forget about priming them. 1928 ford and 1931 ford. I have 1 full gallon in it now and oil is just...
