    Won m1028!

    WARWAG, Bought a M1028A2 last summer. IMMEDIATELY took the cap off the rear once I got it home. BUT, I kept it. I'm glad I did. I found that during the winter, the only thing the bed does is collect snow. So with the cap back on, it will remain dry. At least that's the hope. So yeah, pull...

    towing ?????????

    U will have no problems. GO SLOW. DO NOT PASS EVEN THE SLOWEST VEHICLE. Just settle in and take your time. IF YOU DO THAT, you will have no problems. Given the weight of the trailer, you will be towing about HALF the weight of the tow vehicle. Realize that and take it slow. Keep your...

    Need Some Advice. Bet None of You Have Had This Happen

    what 2deuce says. I bought an M1031 and then sat on it for almost a year. I never registered it. I gave the new owner from out of state the SF97 and a bill of sale. I think I filled out an additional form that his state required. But the SF97 IS transferable.

    334lbsofgetdown, I CAN tell you that the CONG is the Colorado National Guard. So it could be the 157 in the Co Nat Guard. I'd try their web page. Where did you get the truck from?

    I've got a buddy who got tired of being the only person in his unit that could drive the 900 series trucks. So he 'accidentally' side swiped an empty guard shack. When they told him he was about to have his driving privileges revoked on the 900 series, "OH DARN, what will I do now". Trying...

    Cucv things i wanna do.....

    cg, Love the truck. I will admit to not being a fan of rear spare tire carriers, having seen one too many of them ripped of at the worst possible time. AND yours looks sturdy and that makes the rig look like it belongs there. What did you do with the yellow 'whoopee' light?

    Starter bolts missing cucv

    go to your GM dealer and buy at least four. keep two in the truck at all times. I don't care HOW you install them, THEY WILL EVENTUALLY FALL OUT. If you are lucky, they just fell out. IE, they didn't BREAK AND THEN FALL OUT. Before just sticking a new set of bolts into those holes, use a...

    Locking Hubs M1009

    bronconut, The M1009 hub is NOT the same as the OE CIVY hub. NOT BY A LONG SHOT. It has a snap ring type lock washer and a key into a keyway that MUST be assembled properly or you WILL have problems. If you have not pulled a hub all the way down to the spindle (yes, including the rotor) then...

    What are the pros and cons of the 6.2l diesel?

    That's great info. Thx Westech. Uh, not complaining, but could you elaborate on 'bump timing a bit'? One degree? More? or is it more of a sound that you will hear once you've got all the other things done? I've tuned many a gasser for that final touch by ear. Never thought of doing that...
