M1008 will run and then shut off
Could be a bad fuel shut off on the pump or as eZ as a loose power wire to the fuel shut off. I have seen that a few times. -

Transfer case adapter mount failure...again
That is what j have seen is stuck front drive shafts. It's not a bad idea to take the shaft out and clean the slip shaft. Too much grease can cause a "hydro lock " condition and brake the case and or adapter. -

Huh? Daisy changed ? That is the return fuel line not the supply line. -
battery wiring, missing second battery
Don't do it.... Your better off installing the correct 24v starter. When going to 12v the TM's become useless. Also there always seams to be issues after and major charging problems. -

block heater
Sell it and get a freeze plug heater. I took my heater off like what you have. Way too many hose hook ups and places to leak. 20$ fix for a 1$ problem. -
Old style head gaskets
The head gasket is a weak link in the engine. Under high speed camera you can see the head lifting off the block during the compression and power stroke. When I have replaced my gaskets I add 10 foot pounds to the spec. Comp for old bolts (stretch) and a little more clamping force. -

M1008 Front Brake Upgrades? Master Cylinder?
