Yeah I've had experience which I will share. I mounted brand new 11.00-20 NDT tires onto my custom 20" Firestone wheels. The combined weight of the tire and wheel assembly including tubes and flaps exceeds 150 pounds each. I then purchased a set of Centramatic dynamic balancers which mount...

Send it down here when you get it finished. I'll buy it from 'ya.

First of all, Nostalgic purchases the brackets for the A/C compressor from a small mom & pop machine shop in Ft. Worth Texas. I explained all this in post #301 in my rebuild thread https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/kinda-got-carried-away-m1028-rebuild.54469/post-2224882 . The other...

You will be happy with the 700R4. Make sure you have the TV cable adjusted correctly. And make sure when you press the accelerator pedal to the floor, the IP throttle is actually all the way open. This is important in order for the 700R4 to downshift properly. Just because the pedal is...

That would be Chris Gardner. He owns Bowtie and drives a M1008 daily. He knows his stuff. I will lean on him when the time comes for me to crank my rig.

Hey LT - if a 700R4 is built correctly, it will stay together fine on a turbo diesel. For my P400 build, I opted for a Level II K-case 700R4 from Bowtie Overdrives in California rated for 450 HP and 450 FPT. After I get my Bullet Supercharger installed, my P400 is estimated to be rated around...

This is what I use. Works like a champ. Can't remember where I bought it. The thing hooks onto the side of the bracket and has a place for a square-drive pull handle or ratchet to attach. You should be able to search online and find one. Remember to tighten the power steering belt before...

Out in front will certainly be the best place to mount the cooler. However, there are several companies including Derale https://derale.com/product-footer/fluid-coolers/transmission/heat-sink which offer frame-mounted heat sinks which will assist in taking away some of the fluid heat.

Based on my experience, it sounds like you could use a little more fuel. Maybe start with a 1/8 turn on the screw and see what happens. Also, in my opinion, the pump timing should not exceed an advance of more than a mis-alignment of the timing marks of 1/16" (please excuse the Red-Neck way of...

That is the same tach that I plan to use in my new gauge panel. Because I am swapping the TH400 for a 700R4, I won't need the vacuum pump anymore, so I installed a HMMWV oil pump drive with tach sender on top. It seems pretty simple to hook up, 24v in and 24v to ground, with the 2-wire signal...

I’m getting ready to reinstall my 11.00/20 NDTs. I built my custom 20” wheels in 1985 before anybody even knew what a 20” wheel was. The truck wore out before the tires did. Sold that truck in 1995 and the tires had over a quarter million miles on them. I mounted a new set of 11.00/20’s on the...

Regarding that rubber fuel line under the intake, I changed mine to a new -06AN line. No more sucking air. See Post #294 in my rebuild thread - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/kinda-got-carried-away-m1028-rebuild.54469/post-2222165

Thanks for your great detailed write-ups. Please let us know which in-line air filter you decide to use. I will soon have the same decision to make after I get my Bullet Supercharger installed. The supercharger blower intake comes out of the blower housing in the rear on the passenger side...

Got my Supercharger kit ordered.

If you can spare the cash, I recommend the Fluidampr. It is by far superior, by using a gel instead of rubber to dampen the torque curves. When I first got my M1028 in 2010, that was the first thing I replaced. My original engine ran strong, however there was a definite "shake" when running...

I agree with NDT. Those bolts are indeed Metric. M8x1.25x20mm flanged head cap bolt. Available at McMaster Carr or KasCar https://real4wd.com/product/bolt-self-locking/ . Hope this helps.

You are in Frankfort, right? Once I get this thing coming together you should ride over and have a look.

Ok here’s an update - the surgery was last Tuesday 6/8 at Louisville’s Norton Spinal Hospital. Everything went as expected and I stayed in the hospital exactly one week and was discharged this past Monday 6/14. I had 4 vertebrae in my neck which had rotated into my spinal cord and would have...

If you can’t find that specific hose, or until you do, you might be able to use one of the upper hose guards. John Hillbilly wizard has these readily available. Hope this helps.

I agree with Rick. I will also suggest that you do not try to crank the engine again until you 1)- remove the fan, pulleys, water pump & water pump plate, and oil pan to find the broken dowel pin or any other metal fragments, and 2)- determine the reason the pump separated from the drive...
