Thanks to all for responses. I figured it was important considering the wiring with its own fuse. The four bolts holding it on seem a bit overdone. The bulb seems to still be good.

M1008. While modifying the front grill in order to reroute hoses for my external transmission cooler I removed what at first looked like a horn. Inside is nothing but a standard auto light bulb. Very well made, with its own grounding wire. The hood of the cover has one small slit to emit a small...

I just received an answer from Valvoline Global: " We recommend our Zerex Original Green coolant for your vehicle. The formulation is designed for diesels and protects all engine cooling system metals from corrosion including aluminum ."

Thanks.

Thanks.

1984 M1008. Thinking of replacing radiator with aluminum. If I do, what type anti freeze do I use. I've spent so much time reading all the info (some of it conflicting) that my brain hurts. Does anyone know for certain what in heck difference between pink, yellow, red, whatever?? I guess I won't...

FOLLOW UP I tried Hillbilly Wizard and they said they had a backing plate. I wasn't fully confident it was the correct one and asked for a picture; I got no reply. I finally found a very helpful source, where they sent me a picture and even matched some measurements I had provided-BOYCE...

Hillbilly Wizard says they have one. I'm waiting for a reply to my dimensions and a picture. Thanks for the lead; I never heard of them before.

I've looked all over. 1984 M1008. I've tried calling it a c30, k30, k3500 . Can't find anything. Has anyone bought a REAR BRAKE BACKING PLATE for this vehicle? Mine has "BENDIX 3207587L stamped into the back of the plate. The Bendix website does not recognize this number. If anyone knows for...

Yeah, I thought of that as a possibility, but it's happened a few times.
