I've been told by a buddy of mine that did his, he had good luck with a rebuilt one from USDiesel / US Diesel -- Fuel injection replacement parts, tools, and equipment - they sell rebuilt IP's and you can also get new injector tips, etc from them as well. They are here in the DFW area.

When I bought my M1028A2, I had to drive it from Scranton, PA back to Denver.
I was on the fourth day and I had entered into Kansas. I had stopped at a gas station to get fuel and there was a convoy that was about to get under way again. I fueled up and then went over and shook the hands of...
Doc and ntxcop,
Check your emails. I've sent both you guys contact info. WE WOULD LOVE to have you join us.
The whole point of our club is to get to take our 'toys' out and show them off to other people in a positive light.
And yeah, we are gonna go over to the Cinemark Theater next...
As all we are doing is expressing our opinions - you don't know diddly about me.
I was in ROTC in High School for a while.
Vietnam was my war. In 1971, I went to talk to ALL the service branches. They ALL told me 'go take your test and physical when you are scheduled and then we can talk'...
Well, here you guys go. I FINALLY got my MKT-75A set up. Here's a video of what it looks like.

Five of my support poles have either one or NO brackets to hold the side poles. I'm also missing one long side pole and one short side pole. I'm also...
Yeah, all us CIVILIANS should just pull over and let all you military types rule the road.
You guys honestly need to get a grip.
He was on his way some place and was just using the road like everyone ELSE who pays for it. Oh, and to be clear your taxes AND MINE paid for that road and PAYS...
I guess it all depends on what you are trying to accomplish...

Sharecropper,
You told that story once before and I FOR ONE, love your truck.
I would LOVE to do that to mine, BUT it's an A2 dually and there is NO WAY I'm modifying it. I'm keeping it stock.
LOVE YOURS THOUGH.
I saw this and thought.. wasn't he saying it was his last one?
And there you go again. NOT A SLAM or anything, because I also love these truck the same as you, just not as skilled at fixing them up as you are.
LOVE THE SCORE. Do understand what you said about 'the boss'.
We await the...
OWNING ONE MYSELF, they are actually rather rare.
From the research I've done on them, it appears the military only 'modified' about 300 of the M1028's into the A2 dually configuration. Another 400 or so as the A3 config.
It's your truck. But I've yet to run into another one in the three...
You really do NOT need to swap tranny or gears.
Chances are high you won't be going that fast THAT often. YES you can go that fast with 4.56 gears. NO you won't burn up the diff's or the engine or the tranny. Having said that, remember that you ARE purchasing a 25 year old truck and it needs...

I will admit that no one answered the phone when I called... it just rang and rang and rang
If you want to replace them? It's supposed to be fairly easy. And if you want, you could upgrade to the MARINE version, which will double your HP. Probably make your MPG go down, but there are trade offs in life.
Contact these guys, they sell the MARINE version tips for around $100 for the...
I concur. I've driven my M1009 up that route many times. By the time you get to Eisenhower Tunnel you will be very slow with that load. MAKE SURE YOUR FLASHERS WORK. Tuck in behind a very slow semi and you should make it.
Now, realize you are driving a 25+ year old truck. How are the...
Well, we had about one weeks notice for the Meacham Air show which occurred last weekend.
Here is what we looked like there.
Meacham Air Show
three deuces
I think there's a song in there somewhere
Hawkeye's deuce is the one on the left - Blueduce is the one on the right in the line up of...
This is quite literally the best advice I've seen. AND IT'S GOOD ADVICE.
If you do NOT need to show the insurance company that video, great.
HOWEVER some companies do NOT keep surveillance longer than one week or one month, UNLESS requested.
This is the same advice I give every CCW holder -...
OK, let me help you out with this.
GO TO A DIFFERENT OFFICE.
I ended up going to three different ones until I got someone who understood what I wanted. I ended up at the Hurst, Texas licensing office when I found a lady that went, 'do you want the plate or do you want to register it with...
OH, before putting the bed on, add a passenger side fuel tank.
If the civy bed doesn't have a door, you can put the fill neck out near the rear wheels.
That will give your dad 40 gallons, instead of the standard 20 you get with only one fuel tank.
We love pix
I've done both a full service and just a pad swap.
The full service took a while. MAINLY because mine had the original setup.
And it took me a while (with the help of a buddy of mine who's a master mechanic) to actually find the silly key/key way setup. ONCE we found that, EZ PEAZY.
The...
