    Heater blows cold

    ***Not finding this but I'm sure its been covered before. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.*** I loaned the M1028 to a friend and they moved the lever from Hot to Cold and now the heater only blows cold air. I checked the linkage from the lever to the heater and that much is...

    New seat options

    The vinyl seats in my truck have taken a beating and I have considered trying to find a different seat with head support. Anyone know if the bench seat from an '88 - '98 truck will bolt in?

    Used Banks Sidewinder - to buy or not?

    I have an opportunity to buy a used Sidewinder for $1200 (a significant savings over a new one). It is supposedly a complete package off of a 1-ton Chevy civilian truck that was wrecked. Are there any issues I should watch out for in a used set up? Thanks.

    Is it 12 or 24?

    I had my starter rebuilt last summer and it works a lot better. But the folks at the shop told me that it was 12 volt. As far as I know my truck is still 24 volt. I looked under the hood again today and the ( + ) on forward battery is connected to the ( - ) on rear battery and the ( + ) on...

    nv4500 swap

    I know much has been discussed here about swapping out the T400 for a nv4500. I'm considering doing that. What's a fair price for the nv4500? I'm seeing them ranging from $500 - $1200 depending on how much you get with it. If I remember right, I'm looking for '94 and older - is that required...

    Installing power steering belt...

    I know this seems simple but... I'm replacing belts on the 1028 (one of 'em shredded) and the power steering belt does not fit. The new belt is the Napa version of a 7448 but it seems to be inches too short. I have loosened the power steering pump per the Unit Maintenance Manual. Can anyone...

    Won't always start

    This has happened 3 or 4 times now: I'll drive to work in the morning (10 miles) and then the truck will sit all day and start fine for the drive home. But on occasion I will run into town on my lunch break. I will drive 4 to 6 miles and then shut it off. When I am ready to go home 30 to 45...

    How do I install trailer brake control?

    I need to install a trailer brake control but I am still using the 12-pin connector with an adapter I made. Is there a way to wire trailer brakes into the 12-pin NATO or am I better off converting to a 7-pin trailer plug?

    New Tires

    I'm sure this has been covered here before but I didn't find anything searching... New tires needed for the M2018. It has 235-85-R16's on it right now. One blew out the other day and I'm looking for at least 2 new ones. Any recommendations? I need something with a good weight rating - lots...

    Taillight Harness

    One of the wires in the taillight harness broke off right at the rubber plug. No way to fix it as far as I can tell. Anyone have leads on where to find a new one? NAPA said they aren't available any more.

    A couple or 3 questions

    I bought my M1028 back in March and made the trip home without incident. In the last few weeks I've noticed a lot of squealing belt noise when its cold. After 10 - 15 minutes at highway speeds it diminishes quite a bit but its still there. The belt to the driver's side alternator was loose so...

    Water leaking into cab

    We had our first rain today since I brought the truck home last week. I noticed a trickle of water coming in above the passenger side floor board - on the outside wall. I haven't had time to track it down - has anyone else had this problem or know where to look for it? And... do the civilian...

    Looking for a work truck

    Looking for a good truck Hello all. I'm brand new here so please be patient. I am looking for a heavy duty pickup for wood hauling and perhaps, eventually, plowing snow. I need something strong and reliable. I've come across a few M1028's that are for sale. So far they look like a good fit...
