    Still sluggish starting in the cold....

    What kind of batteries are you running? Remember that in cold weather, batteries lose some of the rated power. I am running two and three Napa 1260 CCA and turn that 24 volt starter with no problems.

    1985 m1008

    Did not see it mentioned, drop the tank, check and/or replace the sender your sock may be filthy, and clean your tank. Before I spend cash for a new or rebuilt IP, I'd do the basics. Start from the tank and work your way to the IP. Thats what I did, and my 1008 is humming!

    Rapidly clogging fuel filters... Sand in fuel?

    My sock looked worse than the one your showing. Albeit mine was black from the biodiesel. If I may? Have you thought of keeping the old one and getting the left side tank with a diverter valve, and have two tanks. Just thinking.

    M 1008 U Bolts Modification

    After looking at the old u bolt setup on the rear axle of my M1008, I figured I didn't trust all that rust build up on the anchor plate, which catches all the water and mud and holds it there, leading to rust.
