Recently my m880 has been idling funny after starting it up, it will idle very very low and stall some times, till I rev up the engine a bit. then it will seem to even out to normal. well today I did this and it rose to normal, but then it kept slowly raiseing till it was almost up to 2000 rpm's...

well since the relay is only there for when you are towing, I just ran an extra wire, and skipped the relay. guess what, problem solved. Finally Im back up and running :)

ok after searching the forums I belive my problem might be, the parking lamp relay installed in models with towing lights, But You cant get them anywhere. someone posted that you can use a BOSH ISO relay from any car stereo place. Wanted to know if anyone had advice

Never mind to my last post, Finaly! got it charging properly, was loosing volts on the wire running to my voltage regulator, ran a new wire into the circuit and BAM! now just have to figure out where and why my running lights arent working, but brake turn and headlights all work fine

Hey everyone, making progress on my charging issue, with much help from the M880 tech manuals. my question is anyone know or can check what the exact voltage your getting outta the red and light green (yellow if worn) comming outta the back of the alternator?

I do all my voltage testing with my friend and his meter, so we get real reading. I just got a new voltage regulator Im going to try that. Also heard sometimes if the wire going to the voltage regulator is stretched or exposed anywhere it can miss read, and tell the alternator to do the wrong thing

No adjustment that I know of its an external regulator. We were checking the system via volt-ohm meter [sp?] and an alternator tester. Im an amateur mechanic , but I had my friend with equipment who knew what he was doing. but we were unsure why it was over charging. and no the wire was burn...

So here is what I have about a year ago my 77 M885 started over charging, and blew all my lights and fryed out the main wire going from the alt to the battery. since then I have replaced the voltage regulator, new alternator, and a new battery, plus fixxed the burnt out wire. Today went and...

ya I got 33 x 12.5 on mine, believe on 16 rims. it rides great and smooth, but again you would need larger rims

Ahh Ok, Then what I now have left to do, is Replace the alternator , and get new running lights all around, and it will be road ready....Again.

ahh I feel stupid lol. Now I know it is an aftermarket one that I have, Is that better? or shout it still be taken out?

Im not sure what an Ammeter gauge is. and I know it was rewired at one point in time after going civilian. just dont know exactly what they did

Ok so im an idiot, and so are a few people I know, we thought the ignition mod was the voltage regulator. but it was just hidden on the fire wall under mud..... new question, can a voltage regulator fry my alternator? cause I went and replaced the volt reg, and put a new (used) battery in...

ok So votage regulator went in my truck. Results, battery fried and acid boiled off, all running lights blown. just picked up a new voltage regulator, and dosnt really look like the old one. Is this normal? and is the old plug (as I remember it is a circle plug, but never removed it to check the...

wile driving last night I acquired another problem, seems at some point in time wile driving my headlights stoped working, both of them, but only on low beam setting, if i put em on highbeam there on. low beam they are off, but all running lights and break lights still work....
