With this info, now I can make a decision and start the action phase, wow! Thanks

N1265, That is the issue, I don't see it on the stick, that is the research question. The stick does not have a Dodge No. on it for confirmation. Bit of back yard engineering done and to be done. Thanks, Gary

N1265, Thanks for the pic's that seems to clearly show that my dipstick config is different. The pivot bolt for the ALT that goes into the head broke off and come creative rigging was used to try to match the pivot location. My dipstick tube does not extend above the ALT as your pic shows...

Carter, Thank you for the numbers. I think mine is civilian something because the PO added PS and the accesory drive belt config is modified and the dip stick tube is just in the area taken by the drive belts and brackets. Might mean that my stick is about 8" too short for the tube. Be nice...

Guys, My M880 dip stick might not be the original, unknow. Could someone please measure or review the measurement of my dip stick and tube compared to their stock setup? Exposed tube length from the engine block to the top = 6 3/4" This is the length of the tube only, starting from where it...

I went thru a couple of pumps on the way to my cure that has worked for several hundred miles, a filter before and after the pump, previously posted. I believe that sediment was on my check valves in the pump and it would loose prime and not start. Timing chain replaced on my M880, within...

Good luck and good find. Looks like it might have been a hunter's rig, camo seat cover and a CB? Might want to take a very close and careful exam of the wiring at the ammeter connections for signs of heat and corrosion, also at the firewall where the engine wiring harness and body harness...

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/m880/40749-fuel-pump.html I went through several pumps and I consider mine fixed w/o dropping the tank and keeping is mostly stock but added pre and post filter and replaced the degrading steel line with neoprene gas line, no more problems. I believe that my issue...

Excuse Me, Sorry, I have no worthwhile info on your Prime Mover project. I did look at your link to your project, again, I have never farmed but we have ALL enjoyed your efforts every time we put a fork in our mouth. What I saw was a series of attempts with serious challanges and some real...

I went through my fuel system from the sending unit to the carb. Suggestion, using a hand operated vacuum pump and the brake bleeding attachment connect direct to the line that connects to the fuel pump, apply vacuum and hopefully some gas will show up in the bleeding trap jar. If you know...

Jim, That's what is neat about this old stuff, tune by ear and results. No CEL's Codes, Flashes or ECM's just pretty simple parts. Thanks. Jim, nice sight picture. Need to get back out and create some brass to reload.

It ain't gonna win any prizes for looks. We got about 3" of snow this Feb just had to fire it up.

BobH, I'll keep that in mind on the X-Member, thanks BobH. The gas fill up, I'll check the vent line, and see how it does. Yes, I have greased the front wheel bearing as someone here on SS pointed out a while back, thanks Elwenil. My post was a bit winded update that included a rambling...

I have owned mine for about 1 1/2 years now, but I finally am able to put it out on the road. This is my 2nd 4X4, the first one (don't point out my stupidity) was a really nice M38 that was on 9.00 X 16 Non Directionals, not as hard to do as you might think, what a Jeep. Wow flat spots on the...

This might help some folks with researching stuff within the NAPA program Heavy Duty Page this is their HD truck division stuff. They have E-Catalogs and various references. You might find references to Traction Warehouse. Nope, not employed by NAPA.
