    They sure are a lot of fun. Every dirt road I come across in my spare time, will be explored. Thank Chevy it has front and rear lockers :whistle: Only not so sure about the prices overhere. Remember, I am in Europe. Across the big pond from you guys.

    Thank you guys, will look into the bearings and locking hubs. Under accelerating and steay speed, the noise is heard, as soon as there is no power on the driveline, it goes away. M1009 Newbee: I do have the manual locking hubs, one side is an original, other side the warn version. Truck is all...

    I noticed a little more sway from left to right, a little less pulling power, and a bit more comfortable over bumps. About my question, do you have any idea?

    I have to measure the bed if you really need to know, my deuce bible hasn't got the answer. It is an M36a2, total length is 343 inches, compare that to the 278.3 from a M35a2 I Loaded the M1028 with a car lift and backing the deuce to it. Then drove it on. To unload borrowed some ramps and drove...

    Again a little issue on the M1028. When driving, I can hear a sort of grinding, low tone whistling sound from the front. It goes away each shift, but comes back when revs are going up. The noise varies with engine rpms, but when driving and I lift my foot, so the engine comes to idle, it stops...

    Not loose-loose, but enough to make the whole box move when turning the wheel without engine running. Maybe a good idea to check this every few weeks, especially when you drive a lot on bumpy roads. Or pull them out 1 by one and put them back with locktite in the treads..

    The draglink and damper needed replacement, the damper was trashed, more like a bicycle pump than a damper, replaced with a rancho damper. The joint on the draglink had a lot of side-to-side play. Replaced with a new one, wich I bought for too much money. (€65,-) Those parts dealers overhere...

    Been a while: Got the wobble, replaced wheels, draglink and steering damper. Looks like it's over. To do: check the kingpin springs and bushings, hook up some driving/turnsignal lights on the rollbar and keep the tank full of diesel :driver:

    The winch was installed by previous owner. Kingpin springs? where are those located?

    Cool, was looking for a dually, but walked onto this one. Has been repainted, rust repaired and been sitting for 5 or 6 years. Turned on ingition, waited for the wait light to go out, crank and run within 2 seconds.. Only thing that doesn't work, are the BO lights. The switch for the blower is...
