I’ve had the Goodyear Duratrac tires on my 1028 for the past ~4 years and when these tires need to be replaced I’ll buy another set. I live in CO and they’ve handled everything I’ve thrown at them. I also use the truck for snowplow duties and have been extremely happy with how they performed...

Update and outcome of the accident which my M1028A2 that was totaled (not my fault) and the payment for those interested or needing a reference for the future. Their first offer was $10,913.94 if I kept the truck and $12,921.14 if they took the truck. Which equated to $2,000 for the buy...

My mistake. It must just be a M1028A1 then. I think I confused the M1097A2 that I also have with this one. For those of you reading this and following along….things I wish I would have done/know. Have a stated value on your insurance policy of whatever you deem your truck worth. Keep...

That might work? Thank you! I’ll check it out.

I used to run 1/2 a quart of the cheapest TCW3 I could find (Walmart) during every fuel fill on any of my 2 CUCV’s. You could literally hear the IP quiet down several minutes after adding it. I’ve also used SeaFoam. This was all pre the LT swap tho.

I recently got into an accident that was not my fault. It’s looking like the other insurance company is going to try and total my truck. It’s a 1986 M1028A2 with a LT/4L80E/NP205 swap. So I need to show price comparisons from online dealers. Apparently they won’t allow FB or Craigslist ads...

@Skinny do you have a build thread?

Well…due to the inability of others to control their vehicles in snowy conditions this happened the other day. I was heading to Pueblo, CO to pick up a 8274. Outside of Monument, CO a guy in front of me started to fish tail. Then lost control and started heading towards the Jersey wall he...

I’m kinda surprised they haven’t sold @$1,500. Seems like a good deal for 5. As you already know…you’re talking about rare’ish vehicles with a very specific rim/tire bolt pattern. Even fewer of those owners wheel their 404’s to the level that requires double bead locks. Then you’ve got the...

I replaced mine on the 1028 with ORD as well. No issues.

COLD CASE RADIATOR GMT556A21B REVIEW: I originally found this brand highly recommended by a couple friends who put a Cold Case radiator in other vehicles. I have a 1986 K30 6.2L M1028A2. The engine has been replaced with a 2004 6.0 LT LQ4 and a 4L80E transmission. After receiving from Summit...

Will you post up pics of the beam pattern and light throw once you have them installed? Maybe even a 1 LED and 1 Halogen for comparison? Thanks in advance!

Correctly rated truck and trailer for the WIN!

If you rent a Penske or U-Haul trailer you will have to lie to them about what you are towing and potentially what you are towing with. Which then either way VOIDS the insurance that you have the option to purchase from them for additional coverage. If you by chance happen to have an...

Do I have to have this type of rim to clear the larger rotors?
