You sure?
Are the Axle housings square?
I had an 01 F550
With a Dana 110 in the rear with square housing, and whatever the front was.
If I remember was a Dana 60HD front.
Was bigger than a Dana 60 for sure.
Took the side curtains off the M38A1 then out for some fresh gas and to the Lake property for some exercise, then to lunch.
Ran Great!
Beautiful day here.
Need to get this project at work completed, but now "Weed Patrol" has taken most of my time lately!

FWIW
I believe there were a concern with crankshaft failures as well as the lower block in the main cap area
In the very early 6.2 production(81 1/2 to 83)
They later redesigned the block and shaft and those problems went away for the most part.
Lugging the engine and improper timing is the...
The parts are standard K 30 parts 77 to 91 assuming were talking M1008 in
Your signature?
Do Not mention Military truck at the parts store.
They will have no listing.

Thanks for the replies.
Gen 2 light came on this morning, but failed to relight later upon start.
Still normal charging.
If and when I find the problem I will post back.

The seat frames are the same.
Just went through this myself.
Had to buy all new brackets and reinstall them as mine were missing.
I found a seat on G503 from a member.
Good luck

I have searched and read some threads on Gen 2 light but couldn't find
My problem.
Unfortunately a lot of the thread links in a particular thread don't work anymore.
Anyway, last couple of mornings I noticed the Gen 2 light not coming on with the key om
My M1028A2.
However the volt meter read...
Do read the link Porky supplied.
And No everything under the hood is not 24V
The truck is 12v
The starting ,slave connection, and glow plugs operate on 24Volt.
The glow plugs are 12v. They get that through the resistor supplied by 24Volts.
So when all are operating the resistance is 12
Again...
Plugs are junk and need to be changed.
If your reading 24+ volts at the plugs there all bad.
When all 8 are working you will see 12V at the plug.
As they burn out voltage will rise and start burning out the
Remaining plugs quicker.
I did the resister bypass and Dog Head mod. for the starter...
NOS GM found through dealer parts locator and Vintage Parts.
They buy up NOS parts from a variety of manufactures.

Truck bone stock other than emblems, running boards, drip molding and IL required cab lights(width)
Got the backseat brackets and bows installed.
Added the canvas and have a couple of questions I can't seem to find answers for.
1 Does the side curtains fasten inside the top like the only way I could get it?
Or is it sandwiched between the outer top and inner flap?
2 Also have a 42" strap...
Should be the same, unless someone changed out one or the other.
I'm guessing you had a screw in the one you removed?
Originally they had a small pin under the echelon.
Push back the echelon and push out the pin, careful not to loose it.

Put a 15/16 deep socket and long ratchet on the front crankshaft balancer bolt.
Turn clockwise and see if you hear a clunk then rotate?
If that's what it does then try and restart it.
Sometime the starter bendix will stick in the flywheel.
This is assuming your Batteries are up to the task.

A quick Google search for Mysella will tell you everything you want to know.
Personally I would use it in a gas engine but not a Diesel of any kind.
I don't believe it has the additives for Diesel.
