My M1028 is back alive. Since the frost, it didn't start anymore. Turned out, the fuel shutoff relay needed a gentle reminder to open when voltage is applied. Sometimes it can be that simple.

Replaced the inline fuel filter my truck has, instead of the big one on the firewall. Then tried to get the air out the high pressure lines, but after cracking open the injector lines, only drops of fuel came out. I was under the impression that fuel needs to shoot out under force? Am doubting...

That is a 36 inch tire, not 33. Did find a 33x15x16.5 tire, but only for Agricultural use. think that will be a bit wide :oops: Boggers seem a good option, now to search for a decent tread pattern.

Haven't been on this thread in a long time, about a year I guess.. Something about work... Last year when I got back from vacation, I scored 8 new GP's from an English guy for a fraction of the price (DieselRx) Back home removed and tested the old ones, they were all dead, but not swollen. Put...

This morning replaced the old voltmeter with the new VDO one. (part number: 332-040-001-G) The new meter is a little bit smaller than the old one, but not more than 1 millimeter, so fits in the hole great. Only mods that needed to be done were: -Replace the supplied T10 24v bulb with a 12v...

Moved my glowplug button to a better place, now I can reach it without groping under the dash. Also did some towing jobs for a friend. Had a lot of fun and a lot of angry drivers thinking I went to slow. Didn't care, Had fun. After that built in a new switch and control light for my foglights...

Hmm, not something for me then, I tend to have a heavy foot when the engine is warmed up. I like the vroom sounds it makes. :driver:

Greetings from The Netherlands. Drove the M1028 with 1000kg of trailer behind it on vacation to the UK. The starting issue was still present, but I wanted to go there.. Average fuel use was kind of high with 5.5km/litre, normally around 6.5km/litre, I blame the heavy trailer for that. No oil or...

Did the manual glowplug conversion today. First, did a lot of reading in the "helpful" sticky. After connecting the light blue relay and dark blue "wait" light wires to the button and to ground, I can start the truck again. When pushing the button, the glow relay kicks in and the "wait" light...

What have I done to my CUCV lately: Well, just drove it a lot. The steeringbox was leaking for a while, needed to bring the truck to my shop, but did not have the time, so kept refilling the tiny amount into the steering pump. The leak stopped just as soon as it started, maybe a dry seal or so...

After a long while not being on here: My old steeringpump got new insides and got to run in the parade I needed the M1028 for. This weekend when I went to a local car meet, the pump started leaking (again) Strange thing is, only leaks a little with cold engine, or steering under load (truck...

Back after a lot of work and the Carnaval parade: About the pump: We spent a good 10 minutes steering from lock to lock, belt tight and routed properly. Steering did not get any lighter and pump wasn't struggling at the lock positions. Inside of my old pump was replaced, steers like a dream now...

Ah, now I understand why the resistor bank showed 24V at both ends. Thank you for the explanation. The shop did change the resistor bank, as it was cooked by being hot for so long. On the resistors showed cracks where black goo came out. At least the truck starts now with one glow cycle. Also...

Got a call from the shop today. The problem was most likely the glow plug relay sticking in the ON position. Or when not glowing, sticking in the OFF position. The resistor bank is fine, installed a new glow plug relay, 1 plug was broken and replaced. Don't know the type, but was specially...

For the first time in 2 months, drove my truck again, this time not without some issues... Had to complete the glow cycle 4! times before the engine kicked into life.. It is not that cold, +12 degrees celcius. Then noticed the voltmeter in the dash stopped working, but hey, the truck runs and...

What kind of tires? I can't find any tires for 16.5 inch rims

Sorry for the late answer. I need 2 new rear tires. the rims are 16.5 inch. Or did you mean something else?

Well, the leak stop did plug the leak, so that problem is fixed. Let's see what breaks/leaks/dies next.. :carnac: Coming weekend I may need to tow a 4500-5000 kg Magirus campertruck, but I hope my buddy can get bloody thing running. To get rolling with a towbar is not the problem, it's the...

Put a leak stop in the radiator.. it was marking his territory with coolant
