I wonder if they installed it backwards or didnt reinstall the starter correctly
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
He would be upset im sure if i did that before i made the purchase... i personally would rather see the insides but if it were me selling it i probably would get mad if someone asked me for the same favorI would be careful of any used engines. I have a 1986 M1028 engine that had 10K miles on it. I have it since 1998 and still would not sell it with a warranty. It is a 30 year old engine. I know it is good but it seems every time I sell a 6.2 someone wants to turn the fuel up or add a turbo and when things go south in 6 months the blame comes back on me. Any used engine at this age is susceptible to worn seals and other unknow problems. It should at minimum have the heads pulled and checked and all new seals and gaskets. The bottom end is the strong part. The head gaskets and heads are the weakest link. Good Luck.
I have a few good 6.2 engines but mileage between us keeps us from making a deal. I also have a couple core 6.2J engines and blocks. If you get this way sometime we could get together. Good Luck.
I would never turbo a 6.2He would be upset im sure if i did that before i made the purchase... i personally would rather see the insides but if it were me selling it i probably would get mad if someone asked me for the same favor
Hi/Lo beam is probably the Hi/Lo beam switch. Turn signals could be as easy as the flasher missing from the fuse box. Check it out. The fuse box should have 2 flashers. Good Luck. I have a GM turn signal switch in the box. Not brand new but darn near as new as it gets. It was switched out by another mechanic and all that was wrong was the flasher was bad. Report back on your findings. Speedometer head is bad. How many miles do you have on the truck. I have several speedo heads and may have one that is darn close to the mileage you have. While you are at it pull the speedo cable from up top. lube the cable and reinstall the inner cable.Need to read up how to fix my speedometer that goes in literal circles and tear my steering colum apart since I have no blinkers or high/low beam. Anyone with input would be appreciated.
Installed the MIP floor mat from LMC Truck. Disappointed with the process, I think that for the money it should more form fitted than it is. You'd be better off getting something similar from your local home improvements store and cut it out yourself than buying this.
Appreciate it, it's around 36k miles I'd love to take one off your hands, pm sent!Hi/Lo beam is probably the Hi/Lo beam switch. Turn signals could be as easy as the flasher missing from the fuse box.

Hope that you're OK with that.Life happened and now both my 1008 and 1028a2 are for sale. Shortest MV I've owned.
Oh, Man, don't hide it! You GOT to let her know:Haha didn't have time to add them!
More than okay with it actually, as much as I like these trucks I do actually like my wife more... Don't let her know that though!
Your own shop?Pulled the pinion out and turned off the rough cast finish so I had a flat surface for my pinion guard.
