M1008 M1028 Differences

[frontiersman]

Can someone please tell me the differences between the M1008 and the M1028? Such as VIN and mechanical differences. Thanks!

Vin> well the vin is going to be different for every truck..... the 1028 had a locker in the front I think and a overload spring in the rear.. also the t case might be different from what I remember. For the most part there the same truck.. same trans, same engine, same axles.

1008 vin 1GCGD. . . etc.

1028 vin 1GCHD. . . etc.

As I have observed.

Your mileage may vary!

The differences will be in the front couple pages of the manuals.

Data tag on my 1028 says 9400 LB GVW, 1008 is 8800 or 8900lb or something

The tell tale is the vin as stated above and the overload spring in the rear of the M1028. What you dont see is the limited slip in the front for the M1028.

The m1010 has hd in the vin And I do not see overload springs.
Is it just a extra spring in the spring pack in the rear?

My 1028 has the NP205 iron transfercase. Where the 1008 a had came with the NP208. My 1028 also has the limited slip diff up front. But the 1008 had a open front diff. They both have the overload rear spring. The 1028 has some wiring that goes to the bed. I assume to power the shelter. I removed it however.

From the manual. (go figure)

 

[hndrsonj]

Don't forget the A2s and A3s. (Which the only difference is the transfer cases).

You should have a M1028A1 then not a M1028 as a M1028 would have a NP208.

Now Im confused ..............

Then what are the differences between an m1028a1 & a m1028a2 ?

 

[acmunro]

The truck in my Avatar is 1028 it has the NP 205 which I believe makes it an A2 or A3

It makes it a M1028A1.

M1028 = NP208
M1028A1 = NP205
M1028A2 = Dual rear tires, NP205
M1028A3 = Dual rear tires, NP208
