    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    Yeah my windows were hard to operate after I rebuilt them. I used some dry lithium lubricant in the channels and that seemed to help. Can’t remember exactly what I used, heck it’s been years. They seem to be better now after up and down numerous times. Your A/C freezing up is due to an improper...

    That kinda reminds me of the gas tank on Peter Fonda's motor sickle.

    So........ what happened to the engine swap vehicle?

    Engine swap poll

    In my opinion, your easist swap, and to gain power, will be a later model 6.5 turbo diesel. Everything will bolt-up just like the 6.2 without modification, except for the turbo exhaust and plumbing. This engine will bolt-up directly to your original TH400 transmission, however most folk opt...

    Rick - I really like your pegboard set-up on the wall and how neatly you have arranged all your precision tools. I wish I could get mine looking that good.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Rick; I am curious to know the approximate costs to ship a vehicle overseas. Is there a special insurance rider required for the transit? Are there companies which specialize in such transits? Glad the vehicle is going to a good home. If my gunite swimming pool had not broke, the M1009...

    Engine swap??

    I will jump in here for a bite. I joined Steel Soldiers many years ago to learn from the more experienced members, and to share my experiences after I learned from them. I am still learning and sharing as this is being written. That is the beauty of this forum, as most anything can be...

    Engine swap??

    If you haven’t done this sort of thing before, I recommend taking Rick’s advice and take the vehicle over to him. In my opinion it will be the best money you will ever spend on the truck. Just my 2 cents.

    Well duh, stupid me. Say, where did you wind up getting those shims?

    Another M1010 owner

    Yeah I had that same issue when I installed 4" shackle flip and zero-things. I solved the issue by cutting the tabs off the tube and rotating them (both left & right) up on the tube and then re-welded them. After I got it done I then realized that I had also moved things up high enough so that...

    Hmmmm.... The article stated that several drops-per-gallon are required. Guess I was doing it wrong all those years. Glad I never had an occasion or need to disinfect while in the mountains. Thanks for posting that.

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    I didn’t feel the aluminum would be strong enough to support the combined weight of all the gauges and thermocouples. Plus the aluminum doesn’t crease very well when forming in the press. I may be hanging more stuff off the panel in the future such as cb radio, back up camera screen, etc. just...
