Front limited slip and slightly high payload, that is it. Unless you need a front locker the M1008 will be fine, but that front limited slip really helps off road.

The TM's will prove all of the differences but if you really want one. You will need to study the TMs for both of those trucks to actually see the difference.

Benefits of the M1008 are anchors in the bed and many came with troop seats.

ok thanks guys! I guess my next question would be what are the pros and cons of each axle ( dana 60 in m1008, or limited slip in m1028?) and which one is all around better?

The 1028/1031s have Dana 60s, just with the limited slip carrier. Running a limited slip up front can make for interesting handling in 4WD. The average Joe/Grunt/Flyboy driver may not understand the quirks so they were left out of the basic models. Although I never heard of special training for these vehicles during Army Driver Education or specific driving test, I'm certain that was the intent.

While I don't disagree with what everybody has said in this thread, and the linked thread above. If you've ever driven any of the old International pick-ups or scouts with ALL wheel drive (True 4 wheel drive)...they are no different. They can present some challenges in winter, but if you use your head they will go darned near anywhere
