    M880

    Vin listed starts out as a 1979 D200. The weight indicates 2wd. Actual M880's were 1976 & 1977 model years only. All were military rated as a 1-1/4 ton. (although just a 3/4 ton) When M880's were built in Warren, MI, they came with data tags made by Chrysler . My 1978 Air Force contract Dodge...

    Spacer width for Humvee wheels on CUCV?

    Looking for what spacers people have used for humvee wheels on the CUCV, have compared where the tire sits on std pickup wheels & not having the tires rub. The thinnest spacer I have found for the 8 lugs is 1.5". So that is likely what I'll use instead of the 2" spacers that I have.

    Brake Booster Work-around

    I've had M880's for 20 years, several of them. Have not had an issue with a booster yet. This post is good info if it does happen to me. While I have several parts trucks to pick from, I tend to prefer new over 46 year old brake parts.

    Spacer width for Humvee wheels on CUCV?

    What size spacers are you running? I thought 2" was needed, but after test fitting one on another truck, I started measuring. I have 37" Goodyear's on 6-3/4 wide rims on my M1028, to have the outside sidewall in the same place I would only need a 1" spacer? I'm going to test fit one to see what...

    Inquiry on "rating"

    Having owned multiple M880 series trucks & their civilian W200 cousins since 2004. I have learned quite a bit about these trucks. The M880 is a Dodge W200 all axles, springs, shocks etc. are standard Dodge W200 parts. The W200 has a 8000lb GVW, the curb weight of the empty truck is listed at...

    Interesting find for M880 owners.

    Those hood cutouts are not on any of my M880 series trucks. However, my 1978 Air Force contract W400 has those cutouts. 78 was the last year for the birdbath hoods. As was mentioned above, it ain't nothing but a 76/77 W200 non egr due to the 8,000# gvw the factory payload of a W200 is 2500lbs...

    fuel tank problems.

    replace, with that plastic any repair is only temporary, pretty sure 1975 through 1980 are the same.
