    No start, please help

    Help please! 84 m1028. Truck sat for 2 days, went to start it and didn't set the fast idle and the truck shut back down. Starter made a noise so I checked it after the engine shut down and had to put another bolt in. Tried to start the truck and it'll crank but not start. Getting fuel pressure...

    Finally finished!

    Please don't hate on the wheels, I got a hell of deal on the setup. 84 m1028, 30k miles. It's taken a year but I'm happy with it and the kids love riding in it. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Leaf swap info

    I recently put a 6 on the front of my m1028. With that being said my 85 k10 diesel appears to have the same dimensions but a 2 leaf. I just happen to have the 3 leaf fronts by the shed measuring the same 47"x2 3/4" dimensions. Front and rear width are the same as well. How much more ride height...

    Yes or no camper top

    Given to me yesterday, sold at the dealer mounted on the truck in 84 and taken off last week. Has screened windows. Just not sure it's found its forever home on the 1028 vs a s250 shelter. Need some opinions please. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Horsies and torquies

    Wandering how accurate these advertised hp and torque specs are on the duramaxhub url. They're saying military engines are producing 165/330 over civilian 130/240. I'm running an industrial at 145/240. What's the difference between the industrial and heavy duty? Also have a spec sticker...

    Signal Corp pic

    Someone posted this on a Facebook post of mine. Said it was the 123rd signal battalion Germany. It solidifies my decision to put an s250 back in the bed of the truck. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Frame numbers

    Been a mechanic a long time and never seen this before. Pretty sure it may be a gov ID but was wondering if it's something else. Bad spot to put it for legibility but oh well. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    New fuel sender

    So after my new sender (spectra fg05f) came in I noticed that it doesn't have the center "drain" tube like my original that goes to the bottom of the tank (the exterior connecting tube has a 90° bend downward inside the frame rail with a rubber cap). I've read on the 1008 and 1009 posts that a...

    ORD shackle flip on backorder?

    So I was under the impression that ORD was a manufacturer. I ordered flip kits last Wednesday and was told this morning they're on backorder until Friday? Hard to believe they're back ordered on flat-stock. So who is making their stuff? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Not a 1009 buy here's some mistakes

    So I found this for my gf. Already had a lift installed and 36's. PO had extended driveshafts fabbed up, dropped t-case, canted lift blocks. With that being said... The truck was set up for 6-8 inches of lift, yet he installed a 4" front spring and rear block setup. Front shaft only has 1/2" of...
