    Tires for M1028

    Look at the Wrangler Authority tire 265's E load range at Wal Mart for $130. Same tread as the HMMWV Wrangler, aggressive MT. Work exceptional for me. Installing the HMMWV 37's gets you into lift kits and spacers, more expense. Lots of threads on CUCV tires here with dozens of opinions. Also...

    Fun with Tires

    Need to get a thread cleaning die for those. As bad as they look, the studs clean up nice.

    Use the pinouts in the Allison manual I attached. That is what I used to repair a '97 Wtec.

    New guy in Texas

    Welcome. Some suggestions: avoid using the stock transmission as it is not synchronized (double clutch) and likely has no overdrive. Use the transmission that came with the 5 ton trucks (6453). Or best yet, flip the multifuel and get a complete late model pre emissions diesel with...

    Paint scheme for my M1028a2

    Looks like sorta a dark yellow done by the fire dept. I would look at the color chips on the RAPCO website for some of the older desert camo colors.

    Red River Parts in Texas has numerous of these for parts and likely has NOS parts also. Send them a list of P/N's you need.

    Rookie Diesel Operator, CUCVII ran out of fuel

    Someone told me the diesel pickups had an issue with some kind of fuel tank lining coming unattached and plugging the pickup tube. My truck has a new tank, so maybe there is validity to the story. Something to keep in mind. On the PMD, the diesel fuel running through the injection pump is...

    6.5L engine August 2000 mfr - questions

    That is one of the last of the GM 6.5s. Would have been a turbocharged engine found in 2500 and 3500 pickups. Have your machine shop go over it for cracks, if good, sure I would build it.

    Trailer supply rebuild?

    How is the Haldex N4400B plug and play??? There is a thread here somewhere that explains the magic needed to connect it. A dab of grease fixed my leaky brake controller.

    Rookie Diesel Operator, CUCVII ran out of fuel

    CUCV2 is 6.5 turbocharged with electronic engine controls. Do you have check engine light, if so pull codes. Is your electric lift pump running, on mine you can hear it when you turn the key and wait to start.

    Breaking beads.... on non aluminum

    I've done a bunch of steel wheel FMTV tire dismounts with the usual duck bill hammer. Easy peasy. Like Simp says, the nuts take forever. Can't even hold the impact socket it gets so hot after one wheel.
