    forklift victim

    Recently got an M1028 from the state of Pa, truck that was for fire service but not put into service because of "previously unknown repairs" Truck has the usual bent driveshaft and a truly "broken" transmission. Even so, for $660, truck was a bargain. PLUS: No EUC, no GL fees, great help with...

    Ok, Thanks for the info, the pink wire disconnected and reconnected did not make the solenoid click. turns out the side of the cover reads 24V, so previous owned installed an ip from a HMMV with 24 Volt. Had a LD 23500400 ip from a civ c10, swapped the solenoids and now they click. Put in...

    While I am waiting for a set of new glow plugs, I've noticed that the new IP on the truck is a 23500416 (for the HMMV). Would that make any difference in it not starting? thanks

    Engine sounds healthy when it turns over, only ever tried to "kick" the very first time I tried it about a month ago. He definitely fried the started by cranking and cranking it. Can they "jump time"? and btw how do you tell if the glow plugs are still any good other than swelling? thanks

    Recently bought a rusted 50K M1028 plow truck that some one else was throwing money at and finally gave up on. (Only bought it bacause of the Meyers plow set up) The previous owner had fried the starter and said that was why it wouldn't run. Now has a good starter. He also had put a new injector...

    M1008 with tow bar

    Try an equipment rental place. Have pulled many a truck back home, even without wheels, such as this M1010 parts truck. The fact that its a tilt bed is of great help for non running vehicles. The place I use charges about $80.00 for the day. This particular trailer will even hold a dual wheel...

    Is it possible? M1008 to M1031 Maint Truck

    Yes there are holes in the frame for helpers. I also used the high grade bolts for the spring rests. My 83 K30 dually sits on a M1010 frame, relatively easy swap.
