Well I didn't mean this thread as against the Author / Magazine. I skimmed through the article, noticed several errors, figured my post to be a helpful notice in what is probably the worlds only M880 forum. Iowa! Wow, that is a lot of engine failures. Especially for a 318 Dodge motor

CAMPING :!: Along the AuSable River in the National Forest The upper 'litters' latch down onto the lower creating a seat to sit upright on, they get suspended from the walls and a rod that folds down from the ceiling. So maybe you do have them ...........

One in the down position for sitting on and one in the up position. I need the surgical light for mine.

Just received the latest issue of MVM. Glad to see an article on the M880's Unfortuately it contains several inaccuracies. :( including but not limited to; 2wheel drive operation, sorry they are full time 4x4 (the M890 series were 2wd, but the article was talking about the 4x4) 16 inch wheels...

Standard 318 leak Front drive shaft removed requireing T-case to be in either High Lock or Low Lock T-case linkage out of adjustment causing it to slip out of lock position, quick fix, tie it in place. So did ya buy this thing or what? Is the 24v generator still there on the drivers side of...

Better mileage then a tank :shock: How's that saying go?....If you have to ask, you can't afford it. :lol: Seriously, With the M882 empty I get 40 mpfg With the M882 towing I get 36 mpfg The M886 gets between 32 & 36 mpfg *mpfg = miles per four gallons Ok, 8 to 10 mpg :cry:

Humvee tires will fit on the rims and on the truck. with the tire being almost 6 inches wider than the rim they will be quite rounded. Pic of 36 in, on stock. http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/4568/dotslf9lv.jpg same tires with lift & wider rims...

The problem is that the stock rims are only 6.75 wide. and the choices in currently available tires is limited.the widest tire you could put on is about 10.5. Go to tirerack.com and search for tires in the 16.5, last time I looked they has 8.75 x 16.5 highway tires and 35 x 12.50's. I have...

Interesting veiwpoint on the tailgate situation. I have seen more without the stamped "Dodge" then with. The tailgate that came on my M882 (pictured above) while apparently from a different truck (painted different camo) has the plate on it where the cargo cover fastens to. This appears to be...

That's just it. He doesn't have any of these old Dodges, He has an 87. A relative of his had brought the stuff up from down state over the weekend figuring he could use it. I'll get some project pics up tonight.

I've been on a mission of sorts to get this M880 ready to take over for the M882. (See "It followed me home" thread) Things other than the weather have been going smoothly on this project, for the most part. Decided to switch hoods with a real nice civilian one, Was able to straighten the...

Saturn Surplus has the cab ($175) & front light ($72.50) harnesses. Grounds are the Mopar failure points, i.e. the taillights ground via the screw that holds the lens/housing to the bed, any corrosion between the diecast & sheet metal = dim or no taillights. 95% of all electrical troubles on...

I'm getting ready to paint the (new) M880. Going the 4 color winter pattern like my M882 / McGuyver's. Do you lay out the pattern on the truck or just 'freehand' the pattern from the pictures / patterns?

Wow I thought I paid around $35 for the sending unit :shock: The M881 882 883 884 891 892 Had 24 volt system for the radio equipment.The generator has a 28 volt output.

Saturn Surplus had the sending units very good price too.
