I just fixed my fuel pressure switch by eliminating it. It is unique to the military models. I removed the switch and drilled and tapped the original hole with a 1/4 -28 crafstman tap. I then installed a threaded plug in the hole using thread sealer of course. No more leaks..... ever again...

Thanks, I found the GM part number 14063326, but not sure if its available now.

My fuel cap is now a two piece deal after falling apart. Anyone know if it's the same as the civy model? This fuel filler neck looks larger than any civy one's I've seen

My M1008 has been converted to an electric lift pump. I ordered a Wix spin- on fuel filter/water separator unit to install between the fuel tank and lift pump. This means the filter will have fuel pulled through it instead of pressurized by the pump. I figured this would filter the fuel...

That all makes sense. I guess I was worried that GP operation with the engine running would damage the glow plugs.

My glow plugs seem to cycle once or twice briefly during a cold start after the engine has already began running. Is this normal? What tells the glow plug controller that the engine is running and GP operation is no longer needed? thanks to the group.

Just found this on line. Nice resource for those without a hard copy http://www.tpub.com/content/trucks1.25ton/TM-9-2320-289-20/index.htm

I found it. the cucv takes a NAPA FIL3136 fuel filter. I'll try to put this in the parts cross section.

Does anyone have a napa or civ part number for the M1008 fuel filter. I want to change it when I fix this fuel pressure switch problem. thanks to the group!

Sean, from what you've said and what I've found, you're right. Can anyone with experience on this say what they've used to plug the hole with when removing this fuel pressure switch? I understand it's not threaded.

Hello all, I have a M1008 that seems to take air after sitting overnight. I understand the fuel pressure switch can be a frequent culprit. Can someone explain to me what this switch does, and why it's ok to just remove it and plug that hole without replacing it? Thanks, Randy

I just installed the SSd-008 plugs in my M1008 30 days ago, and it still has the stock controller in place. I checked the voltage at the plugs and found 24volts at the solenoid. As soon as the plugs cycle, that voltage drops immediatly to slightly below 12 volts. This is what would be...

I'm going to assume that the 12 volt glow plugs are correct for the cucv. There is no way the glow plugs can recieve a sustained 24 volts with the resistor bank in place.

I'm about to order a set of glow plugs from SS diesel. My M1008 is all stock with the resistor bank still in place. Could someone confirm that I should order the 12v glow plugs and NOT the 24Volt. I want to make sure I get the order right the first time. Thanks to the group!

guys, I've searched all the posts and can't find the whole answer. What do I need to swap a 700r4 into my M 1008? Do I need a different shorter or longer trans to NP208 adapter? Surely someone has done this before. Anyone who has the details on this please give me a hand. I appreciate.
