I know there's 1000 post about the spin on fuel filter upgrade but I have a couple questions. I'm looking at filter bases & some have bleed screws & some don't. Some even have fancy little pumps on em. Question is do I really need a bleed screw or can I just put fuel in the filter before I...

Alright, I figured my truck needed some love since it'd been sitting for a couple weeks so I decided to take her for a spin. It fired right up & I drove around for about 30 minutes or so. I stopped 2-3 places, shut it off & it fired back up no problem. About a mile from the house I thought it...

My m1028 has a SM465/np205 & I've been wanting to do a NV4500 swap for the 5th gear because 3k at 60mph sucks bad. Then I started looking at putting a Gear Vendors OD on the set-up I already have. The only way I'd go nv4500 is if I can find an early one because I'm not willing to loose my...

I pulled the carpet that came in my truck out today & threw it away. Every time it rains the carpet next to the kick panels is wet on both sides & I've worried about it rusting my floor. I figured I'd have the floor sprayed in Rhino-liner or the likes. I was surprised to find a big bracket in my...

I'm going to start from the very beginning. When I bought my truck ( m1028 ) the starter relay had stuck on & burnt the fusible link on the firewall. For whatever reason instead of fixing it the previous owner rigged up a push button straight off the battery post to the starter solenoid. No...

I was hoping to get a conversation started about what tires yall have on your trucks, both size & type & your experience w/them. Off road performance & tread wear on the highway. I have 315/75r16s on my m1028a2. It's a hodgepodge of 3 buckshot radials, 2 nitto mud graplers & 1 mud claw. All...

In the process of tightening up belts i uncovered an old band-aid. The lower bolt on the passenger alternator has an old bolt broke in the hole maybe 1/4"-3/8" in. The stack of washers on the bolt head should have been a red flag. It was late, hot, long day Yada yada.... So I went on & stripped...

After going over the LO I'm still confused about the differential additive. It says use the additive in the front but not the rear. Dosen't my truck have lockers in both ends? I have the dullay w/the dana 70 rear. Is it the same additive for the D60, D70 & 14 bolt or is it axle specific. Sorry...

My truck came with a push button for both the glow plugs & the starter. I don't mind the glow plug button but I want to fix the ignition so it spins over with the key like it should, but that's not my immediate problem. The hot wire to the starter button ran straight off the positive battery...

I just got my 1st CUCV, an 86 M1028 dually. The previous owner put straight pipes on her & it's stupid loud. I drove it about an hour from where I bought it to my house & my ears were ringing pretty good. Can yall recomend some mufflers for this thing? I've always run headers, true duals & 40...

Have yall ever seen this bed on a surplus chevy? I've looked all over & cant found another one online. I'm looking at buying this truck. I believe it's a M1028. 6.2 diesel, 4 speed manual w/4.56 gears. The seller says it's all original but I'm starting to think the bed is custom. Any information...

I have read several posts saying WC4419 will work on the deuce. Is there any difference between these wheel cylinders & the ones you get from the surplus places? Is one of higher quality than the other?

So I been working on the brakes since I got the truck & I THOUGHT I had it fixed then i got a surprise. I put a new master cylinder & air pack on & bled the whole system. I ran about a half gallon of brake fluid through it w/my power bleeder & it seemed good to go. The pedal felt a little soft...

I got power at wire# 467-B at my flasher plug that comes & goes w/the column sw. Left, right or hazzard lightes up that same wire but no power coming out on either of the other 2 wires. Does that mean the flasher itself is bad? I verified my ground by hooking my test light ground to the flasher...

I know there were issues w/fuel vapors contaminating the brake fluid & the vents were seperated. My truck still has the old setup where all the vents run together. I just added a remote brake fluid reservoir so that takes care of the master cylinder vent but the air pack & fuel tank are still on...

Hope everyone has a happy & safe 4th. God bless America & the men that keep us free!

I need an extra cap for my power bleeder. Can the cap be had independent of the master cylinder? Apparently there are two sizes. The cap i kept to use is the small one & of course my new master cylinder is the big one. I've had no luck finding one so far. If anyone can point me in the right...

I installed a new master cylinder, built the power bleeder as yall suggested and it works great. I bled the air pack, then at the wheels, got lots of air at the wheels. My pedal still sinks to the floor 1st pump then 2nd pump its good BUT now its blowing fluid outa my slobber tube & i can hear...

Well I decided I wanted a hardtop on the deuce & when i started looking around I bout fell in the floor. $1600+ everywhere I've looked! Wow! Thats got to be the single most expensive non mechanical part of the truck now. 8-10yrs ago the were under $500, guess i missed the boat. Even the soft...

I got my truck w/absolutely no brakes whatsoever. Upon inspection i found the master cylinder dry & vent line broke off. I found no leaks so i filled the MC & every time i press the pedal fluid squirts out where the vent line is supposed to be. The inside of the MC looked crusty like it may...
