    '86 CUCV 1009 -Left rear upper bracket - shock

    Those rivets don't just clamp the two pieces together, they also expand INSIDE the holes and need to be drilled out. If you try to just drive them out with a hammer and punch you might succeed with one but you will end up denting the frame and sooner or later your hand too. The shocks don't...

    M1028 No Lights/Wiring Issue

    Service lights are all the 'normal' lights, tail/marker/stop/turn/headlights. That switch needs to be in the up position all the time.

    New M1028 owner - questions?

    Ah-ha! That kinda changes things, Yeah I'd pull the old one and drop in the new one at the same time I'd replace all hoses (heater too), belts, glow plugs and filters. Oil too of course, while in there I'd also take a look at the core plugs and install a block heater but that's cause I'm in NY...

    700r4 swap

    Summit racing has a lock up kit that's much MUCH better than a hot switch, cost is about a hundred bucks and make the TC lock up automatically and then uses a cruise control brake switch to unlock. It's all automatic and you'll never forget to unlock it burn up the TC or stall the engine.

    New Windshield glass sources?

    When I had my body shop open I did lots of pinch weld repairs and then the glass guys came out to do the install. The actaul glass reeplacement time just wasn't worth it to me to do. Oh yeah the OP's question, Any glass shop can order it or if you have a LKQ (Like Kind Quality) parts supplier...

    6.2 headers

    WOW I go away and then every body checks in! Those headers are nice but pricy! They'll have to go on my "some day" list. I'm not looking to soup up my 6.2 just make it more efficient and take advantage of whats already there. Heads and manifolds have already been blue printed smoothed and...

    How much is this M1028 worth?

    Well I guess it was worth $7800 to you, but I wouldn't go that high. Nice truck but I have trouble climbing in mine at the stock height.:???:

    TH400 Uphill Problems, Severe Bogging/Lugging

    Check your fuel (lift)pump pressure before changing the filter, if pressure low then decide if it's the pump or possibly a clogged filter sock in the tank. Personally my money is on the lift pump 1st, and the fuel filter2nd, and the sock last.

    M1028 6.2 No key, UK

    First thing, leave the injector pump alone! (Atleast for now) If you look on the right side (passenger side) under the alternator you'll see a lift pump mounted on the side of the block that provides fuel under pressure to the injection pump. Make sure that you have fuel in the tank and that you...

    Lift pump question...

    A bit late here, glad you got it going. Do yourself a favor and pick up a AC Delco pump and just hang on to it, I used to run Auto Zone pumps to save money but had to replace them about every year. What good is a lifetime warranty if you have to replace it every year?
