Need help with m1008 - just purchased

[troop2865]

I just purchased an m1008 at governent liquadator auction. It has 26,000 miles. When I got it, the negative battery cable was cut at both ends. I replaced it and put a couple of batteries in it. When I started crankimg the en gine, coolant was blowing out of a small hose that was cut off (there were two side ny side that had been cut off. They are on the passenger side toward the rear of the engine and the larger hose, looks like the size of fuel line. They come from under the rear of the intake manifold (I guess that is what it is- I am not familiar with the diesel. Can anyone tell me what these hoses are? Can I simply cap them. It appears there may have been something bolted to the upper passenger side firewall that is now missing. Could those hoses have gone to something mounted on the firewall. Please help. Thanks

Sounds like it might have been some kind of heater. Dose it look like the lines go through the fire wall and under the dash somewhere?

Upper passenger side and lines going under the manifold sounds like the fuel filter assy.

Sounds like the fuel filter block is missing to me too... can you post a pic of the area in question?

Later,

I feel pretty stupid. I was working on taking axles out from under my M715, and took a couple of minutes to throw some different batteries in the M1008 to see if I could start it. My wife was assisting and said it was blowing coolant out of the hose. I did not have time to mess with it and went back to the axle removal. I jsut checked and it is diesel fuel. Where are the lines supposed to go and where does the filter mount? Is there a diagram available? Thanks for your help.

In reading one of the other posts, it appears the fuel filter/heater that mounted on the firewall was removed. There are two wires that have been cut and I assume they went to the heater. The fuel lines were also cut. Is it best to replace this with a stock unit (it appears everything is missing-bracket etc.) or something after market? Any suggestions?

Good god they cannabilized it, or just decided to be some jerks.

Anyways since it is missing, you might as well replace the fuel filter from stock to a spin-on type since it is missing anyways and go to Autozone and get some heater hoses. I believe if you tell them it is for a K20 Chevy 4x4 truck with a 6.2L diesel they can get the right stuff for you.

Does the filter system also have a heater built in? There are two wires that were cut that look like they probably were hooked where the filter system mounted on the firewall.
