I am replacing the rotors on my 1986 M1028. I have disassembled/pulled everything, and I'm now trying to put the new wheel bolts/studs back in to the hub and rotor. I bought new Dorman 610-283 bolts (which are spec'd on multiple sites as correct), and I can pound them almost the entire way in...

Lesson learned. When your truck starter acts up out of the blue, and you clear out the garage to work on it during a rainy Memorial Day weekend in central Texas, you should always crawl under the truck before cranking it to see if anything needs to be hand tightened first. Starter skipped/ran...

I've been researching the heck out of this site and a few others about a problem I'm having. Hopefully someone here can help me out. I have a K&N air filter, 2.25' mandrel bent dual exhaust from the manifolds back with h-pipe, and hi flow Hooker Aero mufflers. The truck has always had a...

I just wanted to post a blurb regarding shock replacement on a stock height CUCV. I've had my 1986 M1028 for about a year now, and have finally gotten tired of the front suspension crashing down over every single little dimple in the road. After looking around online, and going over and over...

I have looked through the threads for the last 2-3 days, but cannot find what I need. I'm having a lot of electrical issues, and could use some help from you gurus out there. I have a 1986 M1028 that was rather poorly converted to 12V by someone at some point prior to me owning it. Batteries...

I replaced my oil cooler lines last weekend, and my starter went out the first day, so I didn't have much drive time with the oil cooler lines replaced. When I did replace them, I could not for the life of me discern which hose went to which location on the cooler connections at the radiator...

My starter on my M1028 died over the weekend. I checked voltage, wires, etc, everything was fine. I removed the ACDelco 28MT 12V starter that the PO had installed a decade or more ago. Based on the way it looks and after reading that some folks replace them more frequently than I plan to, I...

I have a 1986 M1028 that I bought a few weeks ago. There were some bulbs out in the dash cluster, so I removed everything, changed all of the bulbs, cleaned the plastic/metal circuit board contacts, put dielectric goop in all of the bulb sockets, and put everything back together. I also did the...

Greetings, fellow CUCV owners. I just bought a 1986 M1028 with 39k mi on it. I've driven them in the Marine Corps before, but this is my first time owning one. Paint and body are not in the best shape, and I will need to replace the wheels/tires pretty soon. Outside of normal age related...
