Hey guys, I recently changed all my fluids, and now I have a slow leak out of the drain plug on the transfer case. I tightened the plug up some more yesterday and that slowed it more, but its still slowly leaking (very slow now - like a few drips overnight). I didn't want to tighten it...

Thanks, it ended up taking about exactly 6 quarts in the tranny, 5 in the t-case - so almost 3 gallons total.

I just finished replacing all the fluids in my m1028. All went well I think but have two quick questions 1. i replaced the trans filter, and didn't pay attention when I took the old one off, but when I put the new one on, I realized that that spacer that goes over the bolt inbetween the...

ok, great, thanks!

ok, thanks, i'll definitely do all that eventually. there is nothing at all currently wrong with my brakes, they work awesome, I'm just thinking ahead for when I replace them. I'm always amazed when I'm driving with a heavy load, how the brakes seem to work just about as good as with no load...

oops, sorry, for the transmission, I'm talking about the oil pan

Hey guys, couple more quick questions. for the oil pan, the TM says those with a ridged lip will have a gasket and those with a flat lip will have RTV sealant. So, does the m1028 have a ridged lip or flat lip? similar question - with the front and rear axle. do the differential...

Hi all, this may be a silly question, but does anyone recommend a specific brand or type of break pads/shoes for the 1008/1028? I haul a lot of wood and sometimes across a mountain and want the brakes to work as well as possible!!!! Thanks!

oh wow 2.5 tons! ok, I feel better about my 2 tons. yeah, with the 2 tons I think the helper springs were actually starting to contact some of the rests.

Hey guys, just thought I would share a quick story. I've been putting in a very large french drain around my house, and filled most of the trench with gravel (57 size). In total I put in about 45 tons of gravel - and of that at least 12 tons I hauled in my m1028 from the Quarry. When I got...

I have a 1028 (mostly the same as the 1008) I never drive over 50mph in it I average about 16mpg - max ever was 19mpg on a highway trip driving exactly 50mph most of the time. lowest ever was 13mpg - but that was mostly hauling firewood and using 4wd a lot I think the fuel economy with...

20mph is good for an old truck. we had a 2004 sedan that got that about 20 mph with normal driving - and thats a newish car - not an old truck ! This June I got 19mpg in my 1028 on a 150mile trip driving exactly 50 mph the whole time (except for slowing down to stop and start of course)...

wow, great, thanks for all the help guys!!!! I'll have to save this thread!

i dont' know why those yellow faces are in there, i just copied and pasted directly from the website

ok, i checked that vin number website and it said: MD8TRANSMISSION,AUTOMATIC 4-SPEED(THM700R4/4L60) 4-SPD A/TRANS(MD8) MX0TRANSMISSION,AUTOMATIC,OVERDRIVE(MERCHANDISING OPTION) A/TRANS PROVISIONS(MX0) TRANSMISSION,AUTOMATIC,OVERDRIVE(MERCHANDISING OPTION)(MD8) A/TRANS PROVISIONS(MX0) so does...

hmmm, so is that good or bad - isn't that the same thing, but just electronically controlled or something?

oh ok, I'll check on that - thanks!

Hey guys, I just got a 91 chevy 1500 Z71 4x4 truck on a trade that I'm going to give to my dad. The truck has just over 200k miles on it but has a pretty new reman 350 in it. The guy said that it had a 700r4 tranny in it. My dad is going to do some towing (nothing huge, just junk cars)...

Thanks guys! I've seen the picture in the TM, but couldn't tell which way was up. Must not matter, but putting the valve stem down makes sense. and yes, the spare is all pumped up and ready to roll. except for the fact that if you touch it you get absolutely covered in black - what is...

Hey guys, I did a search but I think my question is too dumb to have ever been asked before :) I'm heading out on a trip in the cucv (m1028) tomorrow and thought i should probably mount the spare tire back up (removed it to monkey around with the bumper). I can't remember which side is up -...
