GVANECK : I was looking at the FM100 because of the price. I did not see that they had an option for a heater. The Racor 490 can have an element added on. I like it because it has a priming pump on the top. All this brought on because I am having issues with my M1008. I am not sure if I am...

correct me if I am wrong. I thought I saw in the TM's when looking at the filter Block assy for the M1008, that it had a heating element. Thanks for the input. I just might have to drop big bucks on the Racor490. It has an optional heating element.

Looks like I am heading to SandPoint.

Howdy: I know there are threads on the topic of spin on filters. I found a lot of info. I am thinking on using one on my truck. I am going to be relocating to Northern Idaho and was wondering about the heating element in the fuel filter block of the stock filter assembly. What kind of...

I have not been able to find anything on the web. I found on a forum dated back to 2006, a guy was selling plans , But he does not answer Emails.

Howdy: I did the conversion from instructions I got from a link on this site. It was well done with lots of pictures. It was real easy. Just remove the drivers side Alt and fold the wires back into the loom and some minor wire changes. I am using an AC Delco 12V civi starter (direct drive). I...

Howdy: I am having all kinds of trouble now that I have converted my M1008 to 12V. Lots of bugs to work out. After this conversion, My voltmeter does not work at all. Does somebody know where they take power from for the voltmeter? I also noticed when putting on the 12V starter that the bracket...

Thanks: I agree with you about air in the system. I have heard that the Filter housing is notorious problem giver. I have been trying to find a housing to use. Like stanadyne or racor. I am not sure if i need to find one that has a heater though. Tom

My m1008 started having starting problems about a month ago. The wait light would come on then go out after about 15 seconds, pedal 1/2 way down , and it would fire up then die. After a couple of times of doing this ,it would stay running and would runn normally until the next day, when it...

Howdy: What kind of cargo trailers did the military use to tow behind an M1008? I looked at trailer threads and found M104's and m105's. Are these trailers to tall to be towed behind my 1008? I would like to find a trailer and am not sure what to look for. Thanks. Tom

Howdy All: Does anyone know where I can get plans so I can machine my own centrifuge? I have acess to BIG lathe and a mill now and would very much like to have a project. Thanks for any help. Tom

Howdy all: Now that the TM's are temporarily unavailable, I have a question. I am changing the front rotors on my M1008. I was wondering if anybody can tell me if there is a special socket I need when I dig into the hubs? I would like to make sure I have all the tools before start this project...

Hey thanks guys: I have one more question. Who or what is jtonka? I thought maybe it was a member but I did not see that name on the Members List. Tom

I was reading a thread a while back and there was a post about a winterization kit. did the military have these for the M1008? Last December I had my radiator rebuilt and made it a 5 row. The heater never was warm and I can imagine the engine was running a bit on the cool side. This year I was...

I have been looking also. I had a quote the other day. 2-1/2" exhaust with magna flow mufflers was going to cost me $750. I would not mind paying that if I were employed, but that does not look like it will happen for a LONG time though. :cry:

Thanks all for the information. I have been running around town all day trying to find a generic filter head for doing this same project. I was planning on using 2 of them a primary and secondary. That might be a bit of overkill. Napa wanted $50 for the one the guy showed me. Years ago, we used...

I have to whack my 24V starter with a hammer once in a while. It likes to stick, and all you hear is a "click". I have not changed it over to 12V as of yet, I have all the parts. It is just too **** hot outside right now.

Howdy POPACOM: You said the 4L80 and the TH400 have the same spline output shaft? Do you know if the NP208 will bolt up to the 4L80, or is there an adaptor available? Thanks. Tom

Howdy: I agree with NEWFDAD, check electrical connections make sure they are clean. As for the starter, I have not been able to find parts anywhere for my 24V starter. I am convertig mine back to 12V as there is no reason for me to have it a 24V system. With the 12V Starter I can get parts and...

Howdy all: I need to change the the seal on the rear differential on my M1008. I was wondering if anybody knows offhand what size the nut is on the pinion shaft? I could not get a measurment while under the truck. Is it metric? wanted to make sure I had the socket to do the job before I started...
