I'd like to plumb it like factory. Isn't that just a solenoid valve & the switch on the dash? Or is it a different fuel gauge & lines thing?

I also have a question on this subject. How hard is it to add a second fuel tank to the passenger side of a M1008 or M1028? Will I need to pull the bed for this one?

Looks good! I just wanted to warn you, that with the Skyjacker front springs you may have to buy & install their "Add-A-leaf" kit to them if the truck has it's 6.2 diesel. I installed their 2.5" lift kit and after about 2 months the front sagged real bad! When I called to complain they said...

Agreed!

I wish I could remember where I got mine? It was the easiest body panel I've ever installed on a vehicle! It literally fit perfectly with NO modification. I'll see if I can find a receipt.

Not sure why the 6.2 injectors wouldn't work, Maybe a piston thing? I installed a set of there 6.5 heads on my 6.2 and they have worked fine. And as for the 6.2 lines they will fit, they just sit up a little higher over the valve covers.

Well I know Ebay is a dirty word here. But Bostic Motors has a 99.7% rating on Ebay. And if you order an Optimizer Navistar long block form them on there, your covered buy both Ebay & Paypal. 2cents

I installed a set of their 6.5 heads and have had no problems. 10,000 miles thus far.

I forgot, I did have the shock mount problem but it was easy to fix. In fact I think ORD told me how to fix it? Just cut a slice in the mount, bend it out, weld it up. It took longer to drag the tools out then it did to fix. I guess that's why I forgot about it LOL!:wink:

I went back and looked, The heater core I got was $25.99 + $5.00 shipping from Pepboys (Ebay auction). They originally sent the wrong one, in the right box so watch out! There are several heater cores made for our trucks, but this one actually fits. The others are much thinner and require...

Just tack weld the side of the nut, let it sit for 15 seconds so the nut can heat up, (that will loosen the bolt), then undo the bolt. Drill out the nut flange, grind the tack off. Now your ready to weld the hole up, I like to use a washer that fits in the hole and 0.25 wire:beer:

I have the shackle flip on mine and the rear rides just like stock. You most likely will have to shorten your driveshaft and reroute your exhaust.

I don't know? this is a tuff one. The M1028-A2's are kind of rare & pretty desirable. The lift, and/or steering doesn't scare me, those are easily fixed. The interior looks to be in really good shape, I figure you would save about $1000.00 or more right there. The only thing that concerns me...

Is it an original dually? If so I think those were all (M1028-A2) 's? How many miles are on it?

I'd tack weld it to the body.

It's either a T3 or t4? The blanket I just installed was for a T4 and it fit perfectly so...?

Finally got around to installing my heater core that's bin sitting on a shelf all summer.

Mine is a Banks turbo kit, I've had it up to about 11LBS before. That's wide open, up hill, on the highway.

I got it off Ebay $24.90. Any T4 turbo blanket will work but this one was in my price range. I can PM you a link if your interested.

Yeah it's a fancy heat shield that holds the heat in the turbo. The turbo is soo close to the bottom of the battery tray it burst one of the Optima's after about 3 years. I had to clean, sand, etching primer, and paint the battery tray & inner fender. So now the down pipe, turbo, and the battery...
