Why not simply install rear disc brakes? My M1028 stops like a sports car, going forward or backward, even when soaking wet. It only costs a little more. Just my 2 cents.

Now you’ve done it Glock. You’ve got me wanting to add hydraulic steering to my M1028. Please photo document your progress so everybody can follow along. Question - did you buy the ported steering gear from ORD or directly from PSC?

I have decided to keep my 20's for now. I want to get my P400 6.5 and 700R4 transmission installed to see how it feels out on the freeway. If it is still geared a little low and the P400 has enough power, I may re-install the 20's to pick up a little cruising speed. Here's a photo -

Glock, the geometry of the crossover will make all the difference in your turning limits, especially when the truck is skewed in an uneven situation. I couldn't believe the difference it made on my truck. Now that I have experienced crossove, there is no way I could go back. Just my 2 cents.

Hey Glock - you won’t need a stabilizer with the hydraulic cylinder on there. But it might be a good time to rebuild those front knuckles if you haven’t already. And remember, every little shake and shimmy is amplified when alcohol is consumed.

Regarding wheel spacers, I also recommend solid steel 2” spacers from a reputable US supplier. I opted to use spacers front and rear instead of the dual my front hubs so I could quickly remove the spacers and reinstall regular rims if I so desire. Hail I might get a wild hair and want to...

My M1028 was used sparingly on a National Guard base in Arizona for 25 years until I acquired it in 2010. All rubber parts were dry and cracked from that heat. And I mean all rubber parts including vacuum lines and window rubber. When i first drove it I noticed a distinct vibration in the engine...

Well folks, after a couple years dealing with a few health issues, I believe I am finally ready to re-start the work on my M1028. I am going to ask the moderators to move this thread over to the CUCV Modification section because I am taking my truck in a different direction from stock. If any...

I installed ORD's crossover without hydraulic assist or high steer and I have no issues whatsoever. I'm running 37.5 HMMWV wheels & tires and the steering is tight and responsive. I really believe your issue may be related to the steering gear itself. Heck if you are going to spend any cash...

Yeah I discovered that and deleted my post but you beat me to it! Thanks. I'm on RockAuto now.

I'm on it. Thanks.

Looks like this has the information on the water pump - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?158177-Water-Pump-Part-Numbers

Yeah neat video. If you didn't already know, Peninsula Diesel went out of business a few months ago. Unique Diesel in Texas bought all the assets. I have an email to them now to see if they will continue to offer a HO CW rotation water pump which Peninsula offered for their marine engines. I...

Thanks Iceman. Here is what I think I will do - When the P400 arrives, I will transfer my original and recently-rebuilt DB2 pump over to it, along with my lines and new Bosch 6.2 injectors, and then run the thing for a while to see how it feels. One of my goals, in addition to having a strong...

I have just ordered a new P400 long block from Leroy Diesel. It will be installed in my M1028 in front of a new 700R4 Level 2 transmission from Bowtie already on hand. Having said that, I would like to invite comments on my next course of action. Yes Doghead, I have searched until I am blue...

OK the dye is cast. I have become comfortable with Leroy and the paperwork is moving. The P400 long block will be assembled at GEP and shipped directly to me here in Kentucky. Lead time is 6-8 weeks. I will photo-document the entire process and add everything to my rebuild thread. I...

Well I did it. I just verbally committed to a P400 from Leroy and will seal the deal in the morning. I will keep everyone posted on developments. Thanks everybody for your advice and comments.

OK as the original poster, I apologize for taking this thread in a slightly different direction. What started out as asking for the diferences between 6.2 and 6.5 injectors, along with a reference on Bostic Motors, has morphed into something much bigger, namely, pumps and now engines. And now...

Thanks Iceman. I think I will take the next step and see what happens. I was really wanting to use my open plane intake, rebuilt IP, and new Bosch injectors because all of it is clean and new. If Leroy's 6.5 long block seems fuel starved after I get it all back together I guess I will go to...

Here you go. Hope this helps...
