I will try to remember to look tomorrow but I believe it is on the radiator support. Like nattieleather said follow the wires back from the bulb. You won't have to go far. Also make sure the bulb connection isn't the problem. Good luck

I wish I had that kind of luck. I had a little vibration 1 day driving down the interstate next thing I heard was a loud bang and a sudden jerk. The CV joint in the front driveshaft gave suddenly and the result was the driveshaft folding at the joints, catching the crossmember and snapping a...

I converted my M886 many years ago. I got a newer dana 44 from a scrap yard and swapped from the ball joints out to the newer locking style hubs. I used the milemarker kit in the transfer case. It all works great and only set me back about $500. including new brakes and joints. You won't notice...

If I am not mistaken the 4X4 shaft is shorter than the 2X4. You might need to remove the guts and change shafts but if you can do that you might as well go a little further and rebuild the original. I have done a few and it isn't as hard as some would like us to think.

I read something here awhile ago that makes good sense to me. The old fuel lines deteriorate over the years and little pieces break off and get into the fuel pump and allow the fuel to flow back to the tank if parked for a few days. It takes a bit of cranking to pump the fuel back up to the...

Is there any reason you can't go back to original? It should be an easy change out.

If you do this pull and injure or kill someone this thread will serve well to show you were told it was extremely unsafe by some very knowledgeable people and chose to ignore it. You were smart enough to ask the right people so please be smart enough to take their advice.

Sad to hear parts are so scarce there. Don't let those rust buckets scare you. If the mechanical parts are good they can keep yours on the road for years and save you a fortune when you need something. The donor axle doesn't have to be from the same truck. Mine was from a mid 80s dodge. I think...

I converted my M886 to locking hubs by getting a newer donor axle and swapping out from the ball joints out to the newer locking set up. I used new ball joints, bearings and brake rotors but my almost new calipers from the 886 worked fine with the newer parts. I put the Milemarker kit into...

Same here.

That's bad. I pulled a trailer loaded with a complete M886 ambulance that weighs 6000# with my M886 from Cape Cod to North west Vermont and averaged 9 mpg. But even empty I only get 11. I have the same drive train as the M880 does except I converted the transfer case to part time with the...

Sounds like a bad ground to me. There should be a connection from the battery to the body. One from the motor to the body would do the same thing if your battery negative bolts to the motor like all mine do. Good Luck

I have an 886 that has towed a couple other 886s and many other vehicles and materials on trailers thousands of problem free miles. They were built to work so don't baby them. But that's just my opinion.

Same here. I had the dodge number but lost it when my computer crashed. I just brought my old worn one to the dealership and matched it up to a newer model one. Perfect fit and no problem with it in 5 years.

What I did was to follow the wires back to where they were hooked into the origional vehicle wireing, disconected them and put it back to factory origional. I don't have any pictures but if you get a haynes manual for the W200 it should have the factory wireing diagram in it. On mine none of the...

I bypassed the one in my M886 It wasn't hard to do. On mine none of the factory wires had been cut. I had a wire diagram from a haynes manual for the w200 as referance to how the factory wires were. You may also need to hook a relay into the parking lights before the trailer plug. It will allow...

They don't build them like they used to. That goes for trucks and houses.
