Thanks 319, Eric's has the plug. The link you gave was for the truck receptacle. I need the trailer side (plug). I should have been more specific. OUCH! $60 for the plug. I did not want to change it, but for that price I could buy 3, 7 pin receptacles and plugs. Thanks again for all the help...

Howdy all. Does anyone know where I can get a connector or have a part number for the 12 pin electrical receptacle on the M1008? I want to tow a civi trailer and want to make an adapter to fit without having to remove that receptacle from the system.

Howdy: The Rear valve is called a height sensing proportional valve GM p/n 15538215. How do i know this, I just finished a rear disc conversion on my truck. When I was finished, the rear brakes would lock up and stay that way till I opened up the bleeder on one of the calipers. Sharecropper gave...

Thanks Sharecropper. I will look at the orientatin of the valve. Although I am not sure how it would have changed just by wiggling pieces by hand. the linkage is close to 90'. When I changed the lines and hoses, I bled the brakes with DOT 5. I used about a pint and a half of fluid when I bled...

I am well versed with silicon. Thanks for the reinforcement of what I was thinking. Now the only problem is that I can not get a proportioning or combitantion valve. The worthless manufacturer GM, I have issuses with GM these days, has discontinued both of them and none of the parts places have...

Howdy all: A couple of weeks ago, after coming to a stop, my rear brake/brakes would drag a little. I read on this site a post that said to check the seals. A few days after noticing the problem, I apply the brakes coming to a stop and the pedal goes to the floor. Upon inspection, I find the...

Howdy. Yes the click came from the starter relay (on the starter) . I was outside the truck next to batteries when I heard it. Changing it to 12v is not mysterious thing. There was a real good article I found that the conversion was done on some forestry vehicles. It has been working for about 6...

Thanks for the help. I agree about keeping things stock, but when a system is faulty by design or the original parts are no longer available, then fixing the problem is in order. As far as I know civi diesel trucks and blazers of that year do not use them. I do not see how a secondary starter...

Howdy all: I have been having a intermittent battery drain problem on my M1008. I finally think I found it. Lately I have been disconnecting my negative battery lead (truck converted to 12v) so I would not come out to a dead battery. I had got out my multimeter and the wiring diagrams one day...

My problem is that my 1008 is my only vehicle. Once I tear into it, I am in all the way. If I had a hub (i have the new rotor already) then I can simply pull it apart put it on and then I would have a spare. I would like to find a good used hub, but if i can't, then I am forced to shell out the...

Thanks for the link. The picture brings up a question. Are the studs pressed into both the rotor and the hub or just the rotor? If it is just the rotor, then it will just be a matter of buying new rotors and pressing studs into them. I do not have a press so i would need to have a shop do that...

Howdy all: does anybody know where I might be able to get a front Hub for my M1008? I have been using online parts locator services but, no luck yet. I have a brake rotor that needs to be changed and i would like to build one up, so all I have to do is change it out. Thanks for any help. Tom

Howdy All: I live in Elko, Nevada. I have seen a few M35's up here. the other day a bobbed on drove by me but I could not turn around in time to catch him. I was wondering in any of you with Bobbed M35's live up here as I am interested in buying one and Bobbing it and would like to get a look at...

Thanks for the help. I insulated it when I put it back. I will leave it alone. I find that this truck is a delicate flower, if you touch it, it will break!:-D

I found the plug with the resistor taped up to the wiring harness in the back of the engine, and the plug with the blue wire was just hanging there. Does anybody know what they are for?

Howdy: I was wondering how many HP does the 6.2 in M1008 have and how many Gallons per Hour does it use? The reason I ask, Is, I bought a Stanadyne FM100 filter head. It has 1/4"X18 threaded ports. I am trying to find out if this it goung to be too small for my truck. Thanks for the help. Tom

Thanks for the info. I found one at Aircraft Spruce for $10. It drives me nuts when I check something and it checks good while I am checking it then, it does it's own thing.

Howdy all: I just got some bugs worked out of my GP/12V conversion/fuel problems. My M1008 started having starting issues. Since I did not know when or if the glow plugs were ever Changed, I got the goofy idea they needed changing. I bought a new set of 60G's and put them in. "Wow" What a...

THanks. I called thedieselstore.com and found a Stanadyne FM100 with a heater and a primer pump.

I have been trying to decide if I want to install one on my M1008 also. Like on of the previous posts. If I do install one, would I have to bypass the engine driven lift pump? I was thinking of installing the electric pump on a switch< more for priming then running constantly. Will fuel pass...
