    Why Did M1008s Come with NP208 vs NP205s

    I think they wanted the lower 4-low ratio because of the lack of power from the 6.2!! Better for cross country adverse conditions.

    M1009 Battery Disconnect Switch??

    Get some whiz nuts for this. The flange gives you more surface area to make the connection. And the nubs on the flange help keep them tight.

    Connect the solid fuel line to pump before tightening the pump mounting bolts. Makes it a lot easier!

    Oil Plug Above Filter Removal

    Look for a 3/8" drive external pipe plug socket the right size. Or an oil drain plug socket set will have the right size. They will fit it tight.

    Cold Weather Start

    All my diesel engines start better because the additive raises the cetane rating and they run quiter with the additive because the close tolerances are lubricated properly in the pump and injectors. I do not believe in waiting until diesel gels to try to remedy the problem either!

    Cold Weather Start

    One thing to consider here is ULSD begins to gel at about 12* F and bio diesel begins to gel at about 30* F. This is quite a bit of difference. The diesel will be ok in say a full tank but when it moves thru the smaller lines into the filter it gets colder and then plugs the filter.
