Ok thanks. I thought I would have to, but was not sure.

I am also considering the dual tank. One question I had was about the fuel return lines. Is there a switch/valve to go in the return lines so they return to the tank being used? Can you use the same style switch/valve as you would for the pickup line?

I did it after the starter kicked on while driving down the highway. It burnt up a couple fusable links, bent the starter fork in my new starter, and burnt up my alts. Well worth it. M1008

I have recently installed a 700r4 and have come to appreciate hearing myself think. The best mod I have ever done. The low gears and lower 1st gear in the 700r4 are very helpful when towing like I do. And with the over drive i can cruise at 65 with no issues and less road noise then with the...

I found the problem. There is a piece inside the injector that the sping sits on and the cap seats against, cracked somehow. Looking at it and how it works it doesnt seem like it would hurt performance if I can seal were the injector screws together. We will see I guess The injectors are new...

I installed new injectors in my m1008 last night, it fired right up and sounded good. Went for a test drive, pulled over to check for leaks and saw that the driver side rear most injector was pumping fuel all over the manifold. It looks like it is coming out between the injector body and the...

I ran my coax through the speedo cable grommet. I was told by my local radio store that the best place for any cb antenna on a pickup is the driver side front fender mount. He said something about having a minimum of 18' of coax as well. The 48" fire stick antenna are cheap and seem to work well...

They will probably sell for around $35.00.

I run an Outdoor power equipment store in Sandy, OR and sell the jerry cans and holders. You are right about blitz going out. I checked inventory and the warehouse up here has 3 holders left. They only come in red so you will have to paint them like I did. Go to any small engine repair store...

I had a hard time finding a bolt on hitch that would clear all the extra steel reinforcement plates from the original setup on my M1008. I made my receiver hitch using 2 x 2 tubing along the bottom bumper and 1/4 x 2 flat steel reaching up, and bolted to the frame. Then I used 1/4 x 1" flat bar...

Ok. Thanks for the info.

I drove the truck last night delivering two cords of fire wood, got to the customers home and the gremlin appeared again. Electrical problems have a funny way of showing up in the dark and this one did. Along the back of the intake manifold there is a two wire connector that has a resistor...

I know it sounds crazy to replace a 25 year old wire with another 25 year old wire. I did this for testing purposes. I wanted the fusable link in the wire just in case something went wrong.

I went out to look at the truck last night. The wire that burned was part of the ignition circuit. I simply replaced the wire that burned from a m1009 wire harness that I thankfully kept, and the truck started right up. Nothing about the wire looks bad. Not covinced the problem is fixed. But...

Thanks. I found the correct diagram after my last post. I am headed out tonight to try and find the issue. But i didnt know about the size chart. I will post what I find.

By the way, the 700r4 has the best thing I have ever done, just be sure to to watch the temp. I had a faulty electric tq lockup harness and was pushing 235 degrees empty. I went to a check ball in the lock up silonoid so it is always locked up. Now I run about 185 loaded or not.

I am still not sure what is going on. I need to find a better wiring diagram. The diagram I found shows the wire that burned is part of the headlight circuit, doesnt make sense so I am sure I have the wrong diagram because the headlights work and wire doesnt smoke when the lights are on. By the...

I guess what my questions should have been what could go out or change in a matter of 12 hours to cause this. My brother started the truck 12 hours before me and it started right up, he moved it 50 ft and parked it. according to the wiring diagram the wire the burned up is a fusable link wire...

Ok. I am not sure if what burned up is a fusible link. How do know? I guess i got lucky with this truck as far as the electrical goes. untill know. Will the tm's go over this? i have been over the from top to bottom, and have YET to find any corroded wires or connections but i will go over...

I have a M1008 that has never had electrical starting issues. I went to start it last night and it would not turn over, no clicks at all. All the dash lights and glow plug wait light worked like normal. battery gauge shows a good charge. I confirmed the battery charge with a meter and battery...
