So the first thing I do when I get my 1986 USFWS M1008 home via uhaul transporter is address the Water in Fuel light by draining the Stanadyne brick filter. In my excitement of getting the same truck that I drove during my enlisted days and vaguely familiar to the 1974 K20 that my dad let me drive in high school (when I wasn't grounded and then had to ride the bus), I hadn't even yet found Steel Soldiers or bought a gently used Chilton manual. So I stripped out the threads of the drain plug in the process and when I went to the local Chevy dealership to replace it, their plug was exactly the same as the air purge and not the kind tbat was black plastic with the drain hose in the middle. It didn't work and I was frustrated until it occurred to me I should have had them look at the 1985 or 84 diagram because maybe they changed and mine (being made in 9/85) perhaps had an older style one (if there is such a thing)?
