I once found a shop catalogue from the 1930s. Fractions of a dollar were pretty meaningful in the scope of pricing back then. It'd be pretty nice to get a set of leaf springs for a buck thirty.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Seems like she has the 6.2 Detroit Diesel and a new injection pump
Rick,I was called over to the vehicle maintenance department because an M1028 salt spreader truck had no lights and was not charging. The horror I see is unreal. Cut wires and all sorts of spades jacked into outlets and running in all directions. I went to do my inline fuse repair and found wires just cut off. Not my work. I stepped back and will ponder the repair.
l have a headache looking at this mess. Good Luck.

It's amazing the amount of effort people go through working around a problem instead of fixing the original issue. They probably had trouble with the headlights and instead of cleaning a few contacts or replacing sockets they started hacking and adding new wiring and in-line fuses.Rick,
I think you may be losing your "Clout", or maybe your "Reputation" at your truck dealership. They should have come to you first for some simple repair advise before they decided to do a "hack job".
These young mechanics now-a-days know it all and don't need us olé-timers anymore.
I'ts odd to add a bunch of power wires to go under the hood off the fuse box when there is a perfect place under the hood to hook to. Cutting up the fuse box is something I'll never do. That looks like a several hour job just to figure out what they did. I feel for the guy that ends up getting it at the shop they take it to. These trucks are so simple why they gotta make it difficult!!I was called over to the vehicle maintenance department because an M1028 salt spreader truck had no lights and was not charging.
