Thanks guys! I'll take this as a reminder I should take a flashlight and give a good look next time I'm under the truck. Ackevor, I'm glad the itemized list has been useful. If you'de like, let me know if I have the measurements [which I marked with a ***] correct. Then I can update my original...

Updated my post thanks to your expert advice. How would you suggest I proceed? - use my amateur mig-welding skills to fill in the holes (the holes I made are just big enough for a 3/8" extension) - chamfer the holes nicely and keep an eye out for cracks in the future - get an expert to weld...

There are three tubes on the M1008 fuel sender: Fuel out to the engine (duh), fuel return (semi-duh), and the mysterious 'drain' (huh). What's the drain for? How does it work? It's just a short tube that goes a few inches and then terminates with a 'CAP' as per the TM -20P. (Section II, Figure...

Hopefully this helps someone in the future (maybe even me!) I recently replaced my 1985 chevy k30 m1008 hydraulic lines / hoses. We're talking about the hoses that go from the power steering pump to the hydro-boost brake master cylinder on the firewall, from the hydro-boost to the steering box...

My friend Matt and I just bought some plane tickets to Anchorage, AK on a whim and we're looking for things to do. Does anyone want to do some sighseeing with us? A chance to do some offroading or just learning about the people and the area would be great. We'll be there just this weekend (Dec...
