I went with the Curt. It required a little notching on the brackets for the D rings and I had to remove the spare tire carrier. I have a friend with a trailer shop who put mine own while I was at work. When I was discussing hitches with him, he advised me to stay way from the three piece...

I have a stock 1028a1 with 9.00x16 tires (36") tires and I use a 5" but really need a 7"

I have read countless threads on adding a trailer hitch to these trucks. I have narrowed it down between two. Curt 14082 and the Reese 51016. The Curt will take a little work to put on and it comes welded together. The Reese, I believe takes no modifications to put on, put is put together...

In the past 2 weeks I have replaced my GP relay, GPs and batteries. If it is cold outside I have to wait for the clunk of the relay before mine will start. If I try as soon as the wait light goes off it will turnover but not fire off

I just replaced the relay and I have the same issue. The truck is at my parents and he doesn't have a tester. I will bring mine tomorrow. Talking out loud: new batteries, with the smoke and diesel smell I'm getting fuel. I have replaced the GP relay and the GP resister is no longer on the...

Rich, The Napa store down the road has one I am picking up at lunch. Thank you for all your help. It will be late tonight, but I will write back and let you know how it goes. The relay that is on it now, is somewhere between 3-4 years old. I do know it was replaced by the previous owner, but I...

I haven't checked them. I was thinking it was a fuel issue. The glow plugs were repalced about a year ago with AC 60. I have bypassed the resisitor. It smokes and smells when it fires off for just a second. When it fires up for good, it will smoke and smell and it sounds like it surging and...

Rich, My wait light doesn't stay on longer than normal. I thought it could be the GPs so after the click from the GPs turning off, I would use my manual switch and it didn't have any effect. Yes it does smoke andf have a fuel smell when it does fire off. Great, I am horrible at electrical...

Back on post #158 I added that I had made this conversion. For the past few weeks it has been hard to start (warm or cold outside). The GPs are less than a year old, I replaced the batteries 2 days ago (group 31 with 950 CCA). It seems to turnover for 8-10 seconds, fires off and dies within 2...

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on a sale that Interstate Batteries is having. I bought two new ones yesterday for my truck for $125 apiece (regular $160). The sale is 20% off in the store or online. It runs until the 15th

Does the LMC harness help this issue?

My light hasn't worked since I got the truck almost two years ago. Last year when Atlanta shut down due to the ice and snow, my light came on and stayed on. Worked perfectly!! Haven't seen it since.

This what I have on my M1028A1 with stock springs

What is the reason my post got deleted now? I did my research couldnt find anything. Found this post dealing with the item I am dealing with so I asked a question. Wasn't trying to sell anything here on this thread. So what is it???
