Reading it now. Lots of good info. So the part that I posted *is* the correct impossible to find part talked about?

Is this the correct strap and bolt kit for our trucks? http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/p746_strap__bolt_set_for_gm_1350_series_oem_pinion_yoke.html I would like to replace it just to start fresh.

It's definitely the locker. This thread describes the "issue" http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?50165-14-bolt-pinion-help I completely forgot about the Detroit. My friend's old 14 bolt FF did the same thing. My truck has no issues rear axle wise so I think it's good to go.

I think I'm going to go with a non-greaseable this time around. I'll put one of those on order and give it a shot. Hopefully I get a long lifetime out of these new U joints. Will

Everyone needs a CUCV :driver::grin: It was definitely an "Oh S***" moment when it happened. I knew immediately and just sprang to action. I also kept a pair of wire cutters in my glovebox for when this happened, but the adjustable was at the ready so I used that instead. Everyone was looking...

Oh I'm not sure if this makes a difference or if this is acceptable, but I felt my axle pinion and twisted it. It has a good inch and a half of play before it catches either way. Is that ok for a 14 bolt? I have no problems with the axle, no sounds or issues. You can definitely feel it taking up...

Also is there a suggested part number for a greaseable/non greaseable (whatever you recommend)? I know the TM one is incorrect, and it is a 1350 Spicer. But a specific part number would be nice. Will

I installed the driveshaft. It seemed fine when I installed it. The ears on the diff yoke aren't messed up, the U joint seats no problem. And doesn't it just "seat" like there no adjustment at least that I'm aware of. So I should make sure it slips in the yoke without any friction and then tap...

Hello. About 2 years and 7500 miles ago, I had a new driveshaft built with greaseable U joints for my M1028. It eliminated my driveline vibration issue I had beforehand, as there was a dent in the driveshaft. All was good until probably 3 months ago when a driveline vibration returned. I wanted...

Just a little bit of personal experience to pass on.....do the Doghead mod! The other day I was at the bank and my starter relay (the stock kind) stuck and the starter ran away on my 1986 M1028. Luckily I had an adjustable wrench in the cab and disconnected the battery in about 30 seconds. The...

It turned out my "dead battery" was actually just extreme corrosion on one of the terminals. I charged the batteries and cleaned the terminal and it started right up. It is actually better than ever the voltage gauge never fluctuates now when there is a load on it. Now I just need to chase the...

The weather is beating my truck up. Its been around 0F the past week in NJ, going lower during the night. It started fine when it was 3F no problem. Followed the usual starting, one GP cycle and foot to floor. Started right up.....get to my friends house and it dies! It turns out that the fuel...

I replaced the fuel filter. It was extremely easy and I soaked the new one in fresh diesel and withing 15 seconds of cranking it was bled and fired right up. I also drove it about 1 hour before the filter change and it ran fine. But I did notice one thing..... When I bled it on the old filter...

Good news! IP had power, I bled the fuel system with the top filter bleeder. It started to sputter to life, and I closed the bleeder and it ran with an idle fluctuation for a few seconds then ran fine. I'm going to get a new fuel filter - the one in there was put in by the original owner at...

Will do. I think its definitely a fuel issue. Like I said it just died and there's no white smoke while cranking. The filter has about 8000 miles on it. Diesel fuel is about three weeks old. Quarter tank.

Also there is NO white smoke while cranking, at any throttle position.

Hello. Today I went to start my M1028 when it was 5 degrees F outside, it started and ran fine for about 10 minutes while I drove it to my friend house. Upon arriving, I let it idle for about 5 more minutes. During this time, the truck sputtered and died. I am no unable to restart it. Being...

Bad news. I will not be able to make it this weekend. I don't really have the funding or preparation for it right now. I'll definitely be there in spring, with troop seats installed and more [thumbzup] I'll catch you guys in spring, have a fun and safe weekend! :driver: Will

Cabelas works great to meet at. Thats where I meet my friend at. So you guys wanna meet at 8:00 PM at Cabalas Friday? Also if anyone has an extra blackout driving light for a GM CUCV let me know, I need one mine is rusted out! Will

Are there any events the weekend we're going? I'm game for anything we do, I'm just gonna go with the group, wherever it goes. The meeting idea worked well last time if need be. Haha I just need to remember food this time.... Will
