Well, after blowing up the old motor in June, I finally got the new motor installed and it runs like a champ. Brian from BRTRUCKPARTS (very pleased) provided the awesome turnkey motor even though I was skeptical buying a used motor off of the Internet. After 15 hours of swapping, it fired...
I had the same issue for my M1028. Do a search on "hydraboost" for several post. For the M1028, the cheapest I have found it is $150 at Kragen

What is this? I cant find this in the part manual so I think its a military specfic part. Maybe some kind of elec choke or throttle advance............!@#$%^
The other day when my M1028 head gasket failed, the tow truck driver picked it up from the front and towed it about one mile before switching to the rear. After towing it for 30 miles at 55mph(trans neutral, tcase 2wd), my speedo no longer worked (dont know why, havent looked yet). So the...
Im sure it could be done but probably not safely for 400 miles. I guess I will have to track down a trailer. I am pissed that I didn't buy a military tow bar a few years ago at a swap meet.
Im not sure what brand of dolly uhaul uses, so I was wondering if it can be done. Uhaul states that the M1009 is to heavy for the dolly. Will the tires fit on it? I am sure someone has tried it. If not, I will be looking for a tow bar in southern cAli. Thanks
Just won three M1030b1's for my fireteam (they look super badass will all of the USMS logos). Does anyone have any experience with the military klr650. I have looked them over and I should be able to get all three road worthy in no time. On two of the bikes, the engines were removed for the...
I should of saw the early warning sign. I had sludge in the coolant indicating coolant mixing with oil. If I get away with just a head gasket, I will need to shovel that sludge out unless there is some type of cleaner. I hope the loud knocking is just from a/several leaking cyl. and not a...
I cant wait till I have time off to pull the head. Since I saw super black smoke at the time off over heating (clean now) a hole in how the piston could be possible. I was going to bid on 3 6.2's last month at pendleton but changed my mind. All three went for 300. WHat a deal when you have a...
While climbing from 3000 ft. to 9000 ft. in 100 degree heat in Death Valley, I noticed the sweet smell of coolant and a black cloud behind me (exhaust not usually visible in my truck). I thought I was over heating so I pulled over and my 26qt's of coolant was flooding the road. Under the hood...
Warning on the steering Block. While getting my M1008 aligned, the tech checked the block and two of the four studs were sheered (very close call). After several hundred dollars maching the two studs out, I check them every week to make sure they are at 100 pounds. I have bought a second stud...
I am thinking about the M1009 at Rock Island. If anyone is going there would you mind looking at it for me so I dont have to many surprises when I fly in. Thanks

It was $150 from autozone for the 1008. The rebuild kit just got here so I dont need it. Here it is on ebay.
