Good morning all!
Despite my username, my name is Alex. I bought an M1008 sight unseen about 5 months ago while I was in Korea and just returned to get started wrenching on it. It received some 255/85r16 Falken Wildpeak MTs and a tan softopper to keep my stuff dry. It shifts through the gears just fine, actually reaches 60 somehow, and rides better than I expected these things to.
I'm happy with it!
Of course, as with most of these trucks, there's a couple of little issues such as rubber things rotting and electrical things not working right. I've got new window channel rubber and window seals arriving in a couple of days and I'm about to order new door seals. Luckily the wing window rubber is in half decent shape.
Now, the reason I decided to go ahead and make my first post is the heater. It worked fine when my brother picked up the truck and hauled it home, but now when I switch the blower on, the gen 1 light comes on. I thought it would be simple to troubleshoot through the TMs but I haven't gotten the hang of those yet and don't quite know how to navigate it.
Any help with the heater issue or TM tips would be appreciated. I'll include a couple pics of the truck as a benchmark.
Thank you!
