I am very happy with my ORD parts and I will be using them again shortly for my Suburban build. The stock steering will leave a bit to be desired but if it street duty only you should be ok. I agree, no tcase drop. It goes against why you are getting a lift.

I agree Waxoil is great but pricey. Anything that will leave an oily film will do wonders. The best way is to stay out of that calcium slush and wash immediately if you do. Highly recommend drilling small holes in your panels and spraying in with a wand. I'm not a big fan of the rubberized...

Everyone knows that any kind of storm work requires only two things...A Jeep pickup and Helen Hunt

My truck did the same thing due to bad bulb connections which required lots of cleaning at first. I also had a hazard switch that didn't play nice causing havoc. I never replaced it but required lots of exercise for the circuit to make contact and function.

It probably does a better job at balancing the power pulses over a traditional rubber one. I think the major issue with the factory one is when they get old the outer shell spins because of the dry rotted material. I have a China made AC Delco unit on mine for a few years now with no issues. I...

That is a good looking rig! What are the specs on the tires? I want to run 37's on 16.5 wheels for my new Suburban project but I really want to get away from the 16.5's as tires are becoming very scarce in selection and rims that are white wagon wheels are hard to track down as well unless you...

I would go through some preliminary stuff before swapping pumps out. Like it was said, check filters first. Check for flow to the IP while cranking. Do you hear the solenoid on the IP cover clicking when you apply 12v to it? Check the return line for blockage. Has the tank sock been inspected...

I'm assuming your M1028 has an NP205 tcase? If so, you just need to shift it like you hate it. The more you exercise the linkage the easier it will go but they are pretty clunky geardrive units. It does go against the instructions but I've found mine shifts best rolling slightly. I've done it in...

I wouldn't sweat it. If you make one person happy by keeping it original than it is well worth it.

Probably I have no problem with that, way easier than rust repair. I wouldn't mind clocking up that tcase at the same time either.

Yup, 2wd 2500 350 700r4 Burban. The 2wd ones are typically much cleaner up in my parts as the 4wd ones die a rather terrible death due to rust. This one according to the oil change and PBA stickers came from Washington/Oregon area. It is pretty mint underneath, back tailpan area is puff. It...

Mine was pretty chewed up electrically but I straightened it out with a pair of 555JHO alternators. I decided that I would rather buy a mint Suburban for the same money it would cost to fix the metal work on the M1010 so it was a no brainer. Plus the Suburban is way more practical to drive...

So after drooling over this build long enough, I decided to gut my ambulance for parts and go out and buy a Suburban. Mine even came with a wicked cool cowboy hat :) Looks like you have some friendly competition, let the Dante's Peak military clone truck build begin...muhahahahahaha!!!

I can't remember clearly off the top of my head but I replaced both of mine with a Leece 555-JHO. They required some grinding on the case to fit but the spread was the same on both areas. I do remember the physical bracket to engine block having a spacer on mine for the lower mount. Maybe yours...

Have you personally ordered this and it fit an NP205? Everyone I've compared aftermarket fits an NP208 regardless of application.

Nice! Be careful with the 4wd switch, they are near impossible to find. I would remove it while you are handling the case just to prevent breaking it.

Be prepared to be taken out in transit! If you see an M1031 coming up on you with a trailer you've been warned :)

Search and yee shall be rewarded: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?25394-M1031-generator-and-pto-manuals Wiring diagram should be on the door of the box. Good luck trying to get it all sorted. You may want to look into an Apecs controller from B4Thundr.

Sorry for the very slow response. Let's plan to meet up in the next week or two. This weekend I have to tow a new rig home and get my M1031 inspected. I've done the Golden Road but not in my truck. I would be down for a Train or B-52 trip this summer.

How much lift do you have and what are you trying to accomplish? You can modify what you have to make it work but Russm's suggestion is what ideally you want to run. A steering block made of aluminum doesn't sound right, most steering parts are made of forged steel or at minimum a cast, no...
