    What have you Done To or With Your M880/890-series this week?

    Well, I started the M880 last week, it's been parked out side all winter. I looked out the kitchen window at the M884 plow truck w/bad trans, then peered a bit to the left & seen the parts truck M882. While in the garage working on my summer time civi pickup, I gazed out the window at my W400...

    Transmission Problems

    The trans fluid will heat up as the pump circulates the fluid wil the engine idles, trans fluid expands with heat, so at ambient temps a pint low is about right. I have had vehicles with TH400 transmissions for the last 40+ years. Once I thought I broke one, but it was the torque convertor...

    Clear Coat Over GCI 383 Green

    Heck just thin the 383 with 1/3rd Zylene. Gets pretty shiny that way. Other than that it is just an enamel, use the hardener then clear it.

    Plan to buy a 3D printer

    We will be getting into 3D printing this year. Just getting started on looking into the latest advancements. As with everything in manufacturing, selecting the right equipment for the intended results is important. Don't want to be jumping in & end up with obsolete technology a month down the...

    I work in this field

    I guess plasma cutters could be in this forum also. (while not 3d) I've done 3d design & 3d milling in building plastic injection molds, I run the CNC machining operation at work, exposed to 3d printing over a decade before it was called 3d printing, lol.

    Auto to Manual trans.

    If the trans worked 5-8 years ago when parked, it should still work now.

    Gas gauge and sending unit replaced, still no accurate fuel level

    The dash wiring also needs a good ground as well as battery to frame. Perhaps the float to coil relationship on the sender needs 'adjusting' This is just where I'd start looking. Hopefully someone that knows will chime in here.

    Gas gauge and sending unit replaced, still no accurate fuel level

    99% of all electrical issues on these are ground related. That being said, I have 3 of these ole Dodges in use and none of the gas gauges are accurate, each one reads different too. The M880 "E" is a 1/2 tank, M884 "3/4" is empty! The Ambulance "3/4" is full. Forgetting which read what can be...
