    Quotes with M1009 resellers

    It has been forever since I dealt with a total loss, but each time it was a negotiation. They picked the cheapest ones they could find for the value. So I picked the most expensive examples & we met in the middle. One was a fully loaded low mile Trans Am and they were picking high mile...

    Dana 44 problem

    definitely a 3500lb front axle I have an NOS unit on the shelf, that I can take a picture of/measure for reference. militarysurplusparts usually has lots of M880 stuff on e bay junk yards / where ever it is a standard Dodge W200 that you have, no need to confuse them with military truck. 3500lb...

    Dual plane vs single plane intake

    I don't believe it will do anything for the torque curve, but the improved air flow should raise both torque & hp (with added fuel)

    Dual plane vs single plane intake

    I take it you are not talking about 6.2

    M880 Doors.

    They will bolt on and open & close, but there is an extra body line. my M884 plow truck has the newer doors on it.

    M880 power steering box ?

    manual steering tip: they don't turn easy with foot on the brake. with foot off brake and rolling they are easier to turn. In the picture of the 77 with power steering, those are 36" humvee tires, notice the nut on the steering arm, it is shiny because if you turn too far to the right it will...

    M880 power steering box ?

    77 M880 with power steering. Only change was steering box with pitman arm. 78 W400 with factory power steering as you can see the mounting to the frame rail is different as well as the drag link (relay arm) and steering column. Vin vs year W24BE7Sxxxxxx is a 77 w200 W41CF8Sxxxxxx is a 78...

    Dodge 882 project truck

    Looks good. It has a 77 grill & blinker set up 76 vin - W24BE6Sxxxxxx 77 vin - W24BE7Sxxxxxx Also appears the M882 bed has been replaced, as I don't see any indication of the 3 antenna mounts on the bed sides. for your auto parts store purchases it is a 318 powered W200 with a 3500lb front...

    M880 power steering box ?

    I will go look at my 78 today to confirm, as I believe the pictured unit is 78 or newer standard rotation. The 75-77 set up uses a reverse rotation steering box. To make the pictured ps unit work you would also need the drag link & the steering column also.
