Welcome....I bought my first 1028 this year and spent about 2 months making it new again and trying to keep it as it was 36 years ago. Lots of fun and I love driving it around. I thought mine had low miles at 27,500. Starts right up and cruises along at 55 LOL.
My M1028 truck went to a small mountain fire department after serving in the Air Force. Someone there put in a momentary switch and it works great, just have to remember to push the button and hold until the GP heat up enough to start. I have put about 3,000 miles on it since I bought it and...
I am heading to Plymouth tomorrow to spend the weekend. I am going to set up the MKT and have a great time looking at all the other folks rides. Since nobody started a buy/sell/trade thread I thought I would start opne since I spent the day packing. I live close so I can return home if I forget...
So after spending the better part of 2 months refreshing my M1028, I figured it was time for my maiden voyage. Drove from Sacramento to Las Vegas to Yermo and back to Sacramento,. Knowing I was looking at 55MPH or so max speed, I took the scenic route down the back side of the Sierras on 395...

All sorted out...ended up being a bad connection in the fuse box. When I pulled the fuse out, cleaned up and bent the contact to make the fuse fit tight again ......we have power!
Hi All....so I was trying to install a brake controller on my M1028. I opened the dash bottom to get to the brake switch to splice the brake controller to it. I had batteries disconnected already. I exposed the brake light switch and removed the connector and put power back to identify the cold...
I did the same with my MKT. Installation was easy, only parts needed were the brake actuator, an adapter for the actuator to the military brake line and a mounting plate for the actuator. The brake away battery box fit on the plate for the air tank and a simple bracket attached to the frame for...
That's awesome.....I am sure there are plenty of folks that cooked on them that would not agree with me, but I find opening it up and preparing a feast is a lot of fun. Glad to see you have been able to get her up and running after that journey across the sea.
