    Power steering issue on a gas converted m1028.

    Problem solved. When I rebuilt the PS pump at engine install, the pump kit purchased was for a gas pickup. Got the correct diesel kit and all is now good. Thank you all for your suggestions and help.

    Power steering issue on a gas converted m1028.

    I just noticed I should be using dexron to in the pump. I had O'Reilly's power steering fluid in there. Will that make a difference?

    Power steering issue on a gas converted m1028.

    Yes still hydroboost. I'll try it again with my foot off the break in a couple of hours. Why would that make a difference?

    Power steering issue on a gas converted m1028.

    I put an SBC 350 in an m1028 and the power steering will not kick in until I rev up the engine. I'm wondering if I need to put a smaller pulley on the power steering pump or what might be the issue. I put a rebuild kit in the pump before I installed it. My thought is that it may be turning too...

    Snowblade for my m1028.

    What should I look for to find a compatible mount? I assume it will be a Chevy square body pickup? Are the years and models pretty comparable? Anything I need to look out for? Thank you.

    Vacuum brake booster and master cylinder for modified m1028

    I guess the consensus is that I should keep the hydro boost. I thought that in the long run it would be cheaper and more reliable to put a vacuum booster in. Seems that many of you disagree. Thank you for your input.

    Vacuum brake booster and master cylinder for modified m1028

    I got a vanilla m1028 a while back that had a bad motor. Removed the diesel engine and I'm putting in a 350 SBC. Has anybody had experience putting a vacuum booster and master cylinder in from a civilian comparable pickup truck? Am I going to have issues because of the larger brakes on the 1028...

    Speedo reads too slow.

    So where can I buy this box? How much should it cost?

    Speedo reads too slow.

    I put together a M1009 from parts obtained from various sources. The transmission came from a M1008, I think. After looking through some manuals it appears there is some sort of regearing box that the speedometer cable plugs into rather straight in the way I have it. Is this correct? Am I...

    Rearmost drive shaft on M35a2

    Real quick question. About 4 years ago I removed the rearmost drive shaft in order to make the duce turn a little better. Now I'm getting ready to sell it and want to re-install. I forgot if the slip yoke goes toward the front, rear axle set one, or rear, rear axle set two. I feel like an idiot...
