    Hello. I have scoured the internet and cant seem to find the right answer for my truck. What spindle nut socket do I need for my 1986 M1028. It seems to be a 4 indent nut on the outside, and a 4 prong nut on the inside. What socket does this require? Will

    CB radio in M1028 install

    Hmm Maybe I'll mount it on the front like kind of where a stock radio antenna would be. Would that be better? And I'll definitely run it to the battery. You dont think I'll have any problems with better drain or anything? Will

    Resistor bypass questions

    Alright. I left the system as military stock, no resistor bypass. Everything in the system is new except the controller. It works perfectly and starts no problem every time. For now, stock it is for me. Thanks for the help though. I cant wait to test it during some cold winter days though. Will
