I like the idea of run flats, the beadlock rims, and the cool look,but they seem hard to balance and not practical for every day use.I used stock 16.5 GM 8- 1/4" rims with the 37"surplus humvee radials.They balanced quite well with 1 bag of beads per tire.No wobble or shimmy @ highway speed and...

You should bypass the resister and send 12V to the GP relay direct.Pickup 12V @ the buss located above the GP relay.Many threads about this with pics if you search. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/63366-glow-plug-pass-help-2.html Try this thread.Good description and pics of resistor...

I think it might be time to change your GP's.I just completed the GP resistor bypass,put in a new set of AC60G's,and put a momentery toggle switch to bypass the card just in case.The card still functions ,now the GP's go through only 1 cycle automatically,and it fires right up.Even on cold...

Off Road Designs has quality lift related components.

I've got a nice one.Don't need it now since I installed a gear vendor.PM me if interested.

My 1028's exhaust was shot so I went with a custom 2 1/2 " with flowmasters,and crossover pipe.Sounds great and better performance.It was 450$ but worth it.Way better than stock with mufflers.:beer:

I just bought 2 on ebay from" wolfer-parts" .22$ each.He still has some available.:beer:

I have a 4" lift on my 1028,new springs up front,shackle flip in the rear.I had no drive line issues after the lift.Then I installed a new GV unit complete with NP208 adapter,slip yoke,all supplied by GV.I shortened my drive shaft after the unit was installed.I had a bad vibration/noise on the...

Nope,it is only 1 wire through the firewall.I ran it through the speedocable grommet.I used a VDO lighted gauge,0-100 psi.3 wires -1 to the sending unit,ground,and hot wire to a circuit that is hot after the ignition starts the vehicle.Just make sure you get the right sending unit to match the...

I put a short nipple then a T fitting on my 1028,with the stock sending unit horizontal and the new electric sending unit vertical.Works great and was an easy install.Idiot light still functions as well as the lighted auxilary gauge.I like being able to monitor oil,temp,and rpm's(tinytach) in...

I installed a Gear Vendor unit on my M1028 and love it.It took a little tweaking to get the right drive line adjustment,but it dropped my RPM's by 5-600.At 70 MPH I'm @ 23-2400 RPM.As far as correct speedo gear ,I used a blue 38 tooth stock GM speedo gear,still available if you search.There is a...

I am interested in a visit to Richmond on the 17th.It is very close to my AO.I can bring the 1028 also.I'm going either way-dont want to miss it!

Thanks CUCVNUT,but I just ordered a rear 1008 from Boyce Equipmemt.I guess I should have posted WTB here first.You're only about an hour from my location.I removed the overload springs,and spacers when I installed the ORD ubolt kit.Thanks again.

That scenario makes sense,but all my u-bolts were intact.:-?

Has anyone who owns a M1028 experienced broken rear main leaf springs?While replacing my rear factory u-bolts with the ORD top plate mount kit,I noticed both sides had cracked in half @ the spacer on the top of the spring pack on the main leaf.Not sure if this is typical on the 1028 only or...

As the other member said,get your self a porto-power with the wedge spreader attachment and use wood blocks if needed to bridge the gap between bed quarter panel and inner panel.Work slowly from center outwards ,working high spots gently with flat body hammer and dolly.Unfortunately you need the...

I recognize that Colorado goo!Did you have to chain up for the mud?It does not take much grade to be sliding all over the place in that stuff.Ask me how I know.:mrgreen:

If your drums are shot,Saturn Surplus has NOS drums CHEAP!
