I've had the same experience running BFG MT's 285/75/16.......very little rubbing.

I went with the Duramax filter set up as well......thanks to Whitfield for the design of the bracket/plate to adapt the Duramax filter head mount to the stock filter mounting bracket that bolts to the firewall......I had bought an extra stock filter mounting bracket to mount to Whitfield's...

Same for my '84 M1028

Thanks Rick, Don't think it's fuel related....I bench tested all 8 glow plugs (resistance via my multi-tester) prior to replacing and found 3 of 8 to have higher resistance (>1.5 ohms) than the other 5 (between 0.5 - 0.9 ohms)....and no big deal to replace all 8.....and replacing all 8 glow...

Rick, In your experience is it actually necessary to replace a resistor(s), or just simply make sure wires/connections are in good shape? I've been having an intermittent cold start issue on my '84 M1028 - sometimes hard to start in colder weather with extended cranking and/or cycling of the...

Where did you order yours? I'm thinking I'll order a spare......

I'm another fan of the sliders! Same questions - how to mount and how thick? Great looking rig!

Great pics!

I use the ORD competition style motor mounts and their urethane transmission mounts......sure the truck vibrates, but it's nothing worth worrying about......it's a 30+ yr old diesel truck!

Replaced my glow plug coolant temperature switch today, OEM switch and connector on the left, aftermarket on the right...rubber insulation on the OEM connector was largely crumbled away with wiring exposed.

Very cool!

Yes.....mine I think has a broken wire, so I needed a new unit.....

Very timely post as I am about to repair mine as well.....I simply bought a replacement shift indicator unit from LMC and will replace whole thing.

How do you like the Tough Country springs? I'm thinking of doing the same with 2" of lift, already did the shackles same as you.

New springs too? Or just the shackles?

Somewhat similar, since my '84 M1028 only has about 58k miles I went with a rebuilt NP208 and now have my OEM NP208 with a crack in the rear case half to repair with a replacement case half and have on standby as a spare. I have a spare tall adapter for the TH400/NP208......don't know if that...

See what looks like a hairline crack on back half (?) of transfer case......ATF seems to leak from there, not tail housing......

Thanks Ken......that was my thinking as well......transmission has been working perfectly fine, and particularly the way I've been using the truck for ~ 1000 miles per year for hunting in South Texas, I think I'm in good shape.

Will do Rick, I'll take some pics this evening.

I had the fill tube grommet replaced this week while I also had the trans fluid and filter changed......also had any other exterior gaskets/o-rings replaced like for modulator, etc. while it was in transmission shop. Tech showed me I had some grit in the bottom of the pan when he had it...
