What am I missing here? So if truck A has genuine GM bolts holding the bed on and truck frame securely and they are all the correct size 1/2" 13 carriage bolts. Now truck B has 1/2" 13 carriage bolts all the same correct length that were bought at Ace hardware. Truck A is a better truck? It is a...

Both are discontinued…not available. You are not going to many genuine GM parts for these trucks anymore. You either have NOS or used in decent condition. Other then that you improvise adapt and overcome. And I still have original GM radiator isolator cushions for the CUCV's I bought in 1995...

The m1028 had the longer bolts in the front 4 positions. I may have 4 of the original long bolts. You must have a terrible hardware store. I can buy longer carriage bolts at a local country hardware store...

I used NAPA UJ374 in the CUCV plow trucks. They are SKF joints. Made in China but I did get a Doghead approval rating on them. So I must have done something right. They hold up well and are greaseable. I do like the NON greaseable ones as well. I know you will make the right choice. Keep up the...

I did manage to get the inner lip of the LEFT fender undercoated and that was about as far as I got on that project. Being 54* on January 1, is a rare event. I was out mowing grass and raking leaves most of the day. I did repair the snow blower skags and clean a mower deck up. But I just...

With 50* weather on tap for today. I think I will start out the new year on the right leg and get a jump on my M1009 project. I have some tractor work in the barn and would like to get that right fender mounted up on the m1009 so I don't have to kep it leaning against the wall. I did notce I...

I don't doubt what you say. I just found out over the years many things are more in depth then they appear. Something as simple as an alternator has intricate parts that the laymen can not diagnose or correct. I would say it may be something that was overlooked by you. Not faulting. I spent...

When you say I rebuilt the alternator. Do you mean you did it? I had Gen 2 with no light and grounded the brown wire from the voltage regulator and the light lit. I took the Gen 2 alternator to the alternator shop. They mounted it in the bench tester, No light. So Ichanged the alternator with a...

I installed new left and right rear wheel brake cylinders. I bent new 3/16" brake piping for the rear axle brake plumbing. Just good old galvanized. Nothing fancy. The old galvanized lasted over 30 years. The brake fluid in the master cylinder reservoir looked great. Nice clear and clean. Most...

I understand now. I went and looked at my truck with a test light. I also understand why they done it. It was done for 1 size fits all reasons. That was why I was massively confused. I have learned the way of the Jedi. I will continue to be vigilant and learn. I just never thought about it that...

This is the only picture I had other of the other guys alternator. I knew that was not considered the isolated ground and that it was wired incorrectly. I was showing you what other people think when you tell them they need an isolated ground. That was away from the other ground so to some that...

I did manage to get the cluster back together and everything operational again. the new voltmeter works well and the charging system is working again. The glow plug system is all wired stock and the truck starts after the wait goes off. All is well with that part of the job. Now onto the rear...

Maybe. If I could find them. I will look. I have a few of the bottom saddles. And a few of the crush pipes for the frame flange to mount the bed bolts on the M1028.

https://youtu.be/u1TV8y4iOUs He sent me this video and said this helped him resolve the issue. Not 100% accurate but understandable. Any comments?

So what you are saying is I do NOT need the ground wire on Gen 1 from the isolated stud to block and the little black wire does not need to be grounded to the stud either?

I took these pictures this AM on my way to Dunkin Donuts for coffee. Have you heard the news It's all over town If you ain't heard it boys You better sit down I got the story here It's hot off the press Brace yourself now And take a deep breath Grab a hold of something Hold on tight M1028 leaf...

Exactly. My point. He bought an alternator at Autozone and installed it. When it didn't work he removed both alternators and took them back to Autozone and they tested them. They both charged 14.4 volts so he went back and installed them. I am trying to help a Man from afar.(Chicago) If it were...

These are the alternators I removed from my M1028 and I replaced them just to replace them. I wired them just like they were and looked up the diagram/schematic and think I done it correctly. If I were to do it this way they worked as designed. If I took the time to attach the ground this way I...

That is the only vehicle I have to drive at the moment. I can get pictures and measure tomorrow for you.

Yes I know that. But NOT on the case. All mine are attached to an isolated ground on the back. Unless I am missing something. Anyone?
