Lately in 4wd the truck will erratically pull from side to side. It doesn't happen in 2wd so it leads me to believe maybe a bad hub? I'm really stumped as to what it could be. I have recently replaced the kingpin bushings. The truck is a m1028 so it does have the posi front end. Any suggestions...
So, I have a large hydraulic winch that I plan on mounting on the back of my 5 ton for hauling a hydraulic boat trailer up and down the launching ramp. I have done a little research on PTO options but haven't come up with much.. I see a few kits that are for sale that include everything...
I have been struggling with a driveline vibration for some time now. I have replaced the u-joints in the rear drive shaft twice with no cure to the issue. The vibration is worst traveling between 40 and 50 mph when you are off the gas and coasting. There seems to be quite a bit of play, both...
So, I have a complete running 98 gmc 3500 with a 6.5/4l80e combo. I want to swap that combo into my 1028A1. From what I have read I believe if I machine the adaptor between the tranny and TC I can make the 4l80 fit the np205. Where I get lost is with the electronics part of the swap. I will keep...
So from what I have read having the 30a headlight fuse blow is a fairly common issue. I placed an inline fuse in the harness that resets itself, but that is no solution to the issue. Once it gets warmer outside I plan to clean out the fuse block under the dash, install the heavy-duty LMC harness...
So, when we bought our truck it had 8k miles on it. Currently it has 26k. We are assuming that it has the original IP. The issue is that it has a steady leak coming from the throttle shaft, causing fuel drain back and terrible starting after sitting. To fix this issue, would it be easier to just...
So, we have installed an electric fuel pump, and installed a screw on napa fuel filter. With those two mods, a new starter and glow plugs the truck was starting like a champ! But, recently the fuel seems to be draining back into the tank somehow. The truck will fire right up, die, then puff...
Well, time to replace both 1480 wheel joints and the three 1310 joint's on the front drive shaft. i have researched u-joints and the best one's seem to be Greasable Spicer Life Series u-joints. So i drove over to napa, come to find out that they no longer supply them; just plain BS. Son i...
Well, we are taking our m1028 to All Wheels Off road park in Lewiston maine. It should be interisting being the truck is stock, running 255/85-r16 KM2's. I will post some pics soon.
Hi, i was having some trouble finding the proper lift to suit my needs. For the rear i thought of doing and ORD shackle flip.. either 2 1/2 inch or go 4 inch. What i need help with is finding out what to do with the front of the truck. i dont really want to use blocks, but i sapose i will if i...
Hi, i am the owner of a 86 m1028A1 and was thinking about getting a lift. A 4 inch shackle flip in the rear and lift springs in the front would most likely be the set-up we would go with. The question i have is would the 4 inch HD tuff country lift springs be able to handle the load of a snow...
