Going to preview a couple 6.2s tomorrow at Carson. Let me knowing anyone needs anything previewed.

On my door mirrors and fenders, I have tree sap/residue stained into the paint it seems. I've tried most cleaners (dish soap, goo gone, M-P degreasers, Simple Green, purple power, etc etc). I even used my pressure washer (with adjustable pressure nozzle which did a GREAT job of getting off all...

Has anyone had any experience/knowledge of these? It's going to get cold here in Colorado this winter and am looking for a decent heater. 4X4REVIEW.COM: Flex-a-Lite Mojave Auxiliary Heater Review

Finally found a clean, functioning bench seat for my 1028 today at the local pull a part. Got a few other miscelaneous goodies for the truck as well. Now I can take both of my critters with me when I go out for my wife's pregnancy cravings at 2300! :driver: Took me about an hours worth of...

Went to the Autocraft shop at Fort Carson today and put on my new tires and added a spin on fuel filter. They are Firestone destination M/T 315/75/16 (34.7x12.4). All in all, took me about 2.5 hours to do everything. It's always a good day when you can work on your truck and everything turns out...

Got a video from my friend in Colorado Springs where my truck is parked. I just drove it 1500 miles with 0 issues from GA to Colorado. It has sat for 3 days and he needed to move it onto the street. It's billowing thick white smoke when the engine is under load. Being that I'm 1500 miles away...

Monday morning at 0300 I am heading to Colorado Springs from Columbus, GA in my 1028. I HOPE to make it to Salina, KS on the first day, and have a nice easy day of driving on the second. I am dropping off my 1028 at a friends house in the springs for the month, until I PCS there in June. I...

Hi my name is Blue2 and I'm an idiot. I've been noticing a slight anti-freeze drip after driving my 1028 for the last 2 weeks. It would only drip maybe a tablespoon or so, sometimes more. It would leak at the lower left corner right where the core support met the radiator. It was all dry...

Is anyone willing to pick up and then ship a set of 4 wheels for me in Clarksburg, WV or West Union, WV? Seller says strictly local pick up only. I would pay you for your time/effort...:beer: They are being sold on a certain auction website and it closes Thursday at 1 pm.

Finally got around to installing the Tiny Tach in my 1028 today. It's a pretty neat Doo-hickey. I took it on the highway and am turning 2200 RPMs at 55mph (gps verified) and 2450 at 70mph (gps verified). Install time took about 30 min. I used 3M double sided sticky tape to mount the display...

I'm looking to avoid towing my 1028 across the country on a car hauler, as it would stress my tahoe out and put it at its' max GVWR. I want to move the 1028 anytime between now and the 1st of June from Columbus, GA to Colorado Springs, CO. Any takers?

Can anyone verify that If your serial # starts with 1GCH that you have an M1028, as opposed to an M1008? Because if that's the case, then I have been wrong about my truck all along. :whistle:

So I spent a couple of hours today wrenching on my truck putting in a new starter, 3.5'' speakers in the dash, and 6x9's in boxes behind my seats. I am using a stock Chevy C30 AM/FM radio. I know the thread is worthless with out a picture or two but I know that nobody cares to see speakers...

I just wanted to confirm what I THINK I understand from the Army paint TM. I am getting ready to paint my M1008 and want to make sure I don't jack it up. I understand that 3=brown, 2=green, and 1=black. Am I correct?

Today at the CAMO compound, Troy, Tony, Papabear and DOC got the MULE running. Oh, and Babybear helped. I figured I'd share some pictures and video of the first start up. :driver: MULE Start 1 - YouTube MULE Start 2 - YouTube MULE RUNNING - YouTube DOC driving his garden cart - YouTube...

Now that I am back from New Orleans recovering my 1008, I had a chance to clean it up and take some pictures! :driver: It's an 84 M1008, with a 6.5TD, 4L80 transmission, and a re built gear drive NP205. 10,200 miles on the drivetrain rebuild. The truck is wet so some of the pictures make it...

Tomorrow morning I am setting out to go recover my new to me 1984 M1008 out of New Orleans. This is my replacement to my 1009 that I sold Mr. Papabear. It hasn't been a week yet and I miss it already. Im taking 65 South to I-10 west into the big easy. Hopefully all will work out smoothly as I...

The Army has decided to move me to Fort Carson, Colorado early next year. With that being said, I think it would be a smart move to purchase a battery tender for M1009. I don't drive the truck often enough to keep the batteries sufficiently charged and with the extreme cold in Colorado, I...

On the way home today, I had to hit the brakes rather hard in order to miss a car coming on the road (one way dirt road). As I was braking, I pulled off the road and let the car pass. I went to pull back on the road, and got no response from the drivetrain. I did check the dumb stuff first...

I know yall are probably tired of reading thread after thread about IPs...But I need some second opinions about my scenario. My 1009 electrical system is stock except that I have a push button plug heater. Since I bought the truck it has had some starting issues. So far I have replaced the...
