    Glow plug connectors - how loose is too loose?

    yup, iirc they should be blue plastic. Any auto parts store should stock them and you should be able to buy just the female ends in a box.

    i have mine wired to the trailer T-connector i have on the truck, just running off the same wire as the running lights. For the actual light, I got two of those "ricer" windshield wiper arm lights, with white LED's. I painted them black and use the bolts to hold the lights and plate to the...

    New one to the family..........

    I highly recommend the NWF crossover steering setup, Its what i have on my truck. One thing replace the nylon bushings and springs while you have the kingpins apart, its a cheap thing and you wont have to do it again for a LONG time.

    trans not taking off porperly

    i'd get a bottle of trans flush and do a flush and filter change on the trans, it will fix a sticky body and let you know if its slipping clutches. Keep an eye out for clutch material in the bottom of the transmission pan when you take it out and watch the fluid for stuff as you drain it.

    Glow plug connectors - how loose is too loose?

    it should be a fairl firm connection, no wiggling once they are on. you can tighen them up with a pair of needle-nose plyers. Just put them on a spare spade connector and crimp the rolled sides lightly, might take a few times (you dont want to press too hard. Or go spend a few dollars and buy...

    [Lots of] Water in M1008 Fuel Tank

    I would drop the tank for sure, sounds like the sending unit isnt sealing on the top of the tank. its quite easy, esp. since you have the tank empty already. Undo the bolts holdin on the skidplate, then you undo the two nuts on the inside of the frame that the tank straps are connected to...
