Well, I think it's time to get new fenders on my 1028. The inner fenders are pretty much just flapping in the breeze. The batteries are starting to drop down a bit too. How tough of a job is it to change out the fenders and inner fenders? Any advice from somebody here that's "been there and...

My 1028 had some belts squealing pretty bad at start up, so I figured it was time to tighten up the alternator belts. When I loosened up the passenger side alternator it slid all of the way toward the engine, and the positive wire terminal must've got grounded and I heard a couple of clicks...

When I bought my 1028 it didn't have a spare tire, and the carrier was busted up pretty bad. I bought a wheel and tire from a junk yard, and got new hardware for the carrier. Now I can't get the tire lifted up high enough on the carrier to attach the hardware. The tire doesn't seem to fit...

So I get into my 1028 yesterday to take a trip. and I notice the RH turn signal doesn't blink. The LH worked fine, so I thought the bulb was just burned out. Went to auto store and got some new bulbs. After moving the battery tray to get to the socket I removed the old bulb and found the...

I remember reading that some guys were using used motor oil as a fuel"stretcher". I run Rotella T in my 1028 and just changed the oil. Is it OK to put this in the tank and burn it? Will it have any ill effects on my fuel lines and or fuel filter? I'm new to diesels, and could use some advice...

So, I've got a question about the charging system on my 1028. Let me start by saying that the generator lights both work. They both come on when the key is first turned in the ignition. When the truck starts the generator 2 light comes on for a bit, but goes right out when I give it a little...

While driving the other day, I thought I could smell antifreeze. I drive mainly in the dark, but today I got off work early so it was still light out. I could smell the antifreeze again, and happened to glance down at the passenger side floor. There was a decent amount of antifreeze there...

My inner fenders on my 85 M1028 are shot. The drivers side outer fender has some holes it in, but it's not terrible. I've never tried to do any type of body work before. How hard is it to replace the inner fenders? Should I replace the outer fenders at the same time? Thanks for the info.

Can you put a soft cargo cover on a M1028? I'm guessing you can. Where can I find the kit , and how hard is it to put the kit on the truck? I want to do some camping with the truck and want an original military type cover that can fold down easily to haul cargo. How much will the kit cost...

I've got a question for you guys. Right after I start up my M1028 I hear a slight "click", a small squealing noise, and the voltage gage needle drops down a little. At night the headlights dim a bit. Then after a few seconds the squealing stops, the needle climbs up and the lights brighten...

Just got my 1028 yesterday, and it's a ton of fun. The questions I have are the 4 wheel drive light doesn't come on when 4wd is engaged. I know the 4wd works because the boys at my shop tested it when it was on a lift. If its just a burnt out bulb whats the part# and how do you go about...

Here's a question for you guys. I have a chance to buy a pretty decent M1028. The only thing I don't like about the truck is that the front fenders are rusted through. He has a M1009 on site that he is parting out. Will the fenders from the 09 fit the 28? Any other thoughts on fender...

I was checking to see if anyone here can look over some lots for me in Sparta Wisconsin. PM me if you can help. Thanks, Dave.

I want to buy a M1008 and the GL site in Sparta Wi has some. How is GL to deal with when buying a truck from them? I know that it takes a long time to get an EUC to go through. Anybody have any other issues? If any member lives close to Sparta and would be willing to look these trucks over...

Been lurking here for awhile now. I want to get a M1008 to use for hauling wood and my ATV etc.... What should I look for as far as problems that might occur with these trucks? Also what is an approximate price for one right now? I had a Swiss Pinzgauer for a few years, so I'm not totally...
