Went to do a spin on fuel filter conversion on one of my M1008 CUCVs. Everything we found online seemed to be chopped up & incomplete in regards to a parts list and how to. So Im going to give you a start to finish picture scenario along with a complete parts list.

I have a 1986 M1008. It has a permanent battery tinder, oil pan heater & factory coolant heater. Thought we had unplugged the oil pan & coolant heaters & plugged in the battery tinder yesterday but when I went out to the truck today I realized the coolant heater was still plugged in. Checked the...
Have an 86 M1008 that every now and then when I turn the steering wheel to turn a corner the horn goes off. Sometimes it stays on & you have to hit the steering column right where the steering wheel and column connect in order to shut it off. It will go months on end with no issue and then all...

Is the engine coolant temp light supposed to light up when you turn the key on a M1008? I'm not referring to the low coolant light because the manual does state that that light should come on (which mine does) but the manual doesn't refer to the engine coolant temp light. Mine doesn't light up...
