I did a search and could not find a picture thread for M880's, so I decided I'd post one. I thought it would be cool to have a central picture thread for M880's and all variants. A lot of other forums I'm have these and great to place to get ideas and see different trucks in all different...

Well it didn't make into the low 20's, but it was 28 at 6:30 this morning when I started it up. I didn't even crank it yesterday. I have started this truck as low as 16 degrees and it does the same way, no smoking, no rough idling, no coughing or farting around. It cranks right up with no...

No, I'm not arguing with you. I totally agree with you. It is probably the biggest misconception in the 6.2/6.5 world. So many people buy them, and are very disappointed.

^^^This^^^ 40HP injectors do not produce 40HP because you can't turn up the IP enough produce 40 more HP without the temp and EGT's going through the roof. I have a set that I bought a lot time ago in the 6.2 in my '67 C-30 and the difference was barely noticeable when I installed them. I was...

I agree. The Wellman's are bad about swelling. I run either Bosch Duraterms or 60G's in all my 6.2's.

It won't really hurt it, but it better to warm it up, if you can. Sometimes you have to do it, but let it run at least a little before pulling off. When I leave work on a cold day, i crank it up and keep my foot on the pedal and rev it up to maybe 1200 RPM for at a minute so, and then pull off...

Yes, but just don't go too much. Usually going about .040" just gets you back to the "as delivered" timing due to timing chain stretch. You can usually get away with a little more, but not a lot.

I have been driving 6.2 trucks about 15 years due to the economy of them. I have always been able to buy them cheap, and I have had two that I quit driving driving because the truck was so worn out that I couldn't justify the money to fix everything it needed. One had 339K and the other had...

Yes, I agree, and whenever they start giving trouble, I aways put in a push button too. Mine is working fine right now, so I haven't done anything to it yet. The block heater makes it where you don't have to use the GP's after the initial start, though. With the block heater, they crank running...

Ditto. And the 6.2 would never crank with a grid heater alone. They would have to used in conjunction with the glowplugs. It would be pointless IMO.

The thing I would have against a grid heater in an IDI engine like a 6.2 is the ambient heat of the engine. 6.2's run hotter than Cummins or Powerstrokes, and that grid will absorb a lot of the ambient heat and will have an adverse effect on power. N/A diesels suffer from this WAY more than...

It does seem to stay on a little longer than it should! -lol

... Me too!:-( ;) I just swa the one you posted and though "HEY! That kinda looks like that thing I saw the other day!" ;) They also had a M35, and old gasser Duece, an old military Jeep, a M105 trailer, a M37 and M37 ambulance. I'm going to get more info and pics when I go back and I'll pass...

No doubt! You wouldn't know a good source for a good grille would you?

I have the lights, but I want to check them against mine to see which ones work best. etc. I do have the trans cover. I'll check the condition and get you pic of it.

The old joke around is that there are only 2 snow plows in the state of Alabama and one of them doesn't run!;)

Is this an old Range Rover? I found this in a junk yard that is probably going to be crushed out pretty soon. Would this be worth saving? EDIT: I didn't get a great look at it. I was on my way out and I had somewhere to be, and I snapped the pic from M1009 with my phone. I'm going back when I...

Sorry, forgot to do this yesterday. We were bracing for the massive ice storm that didn't turn into too much (thankfully) so it slipped my mind. I went and picked a Dodge M880 yesterday morning and spent the rest of the day cleaaning out and testing the kerosene heater and working on my...

I think I am going with the 2" Rough Country like LTWVARNG's. His truck just looks "right" IMO. I have 33 X 12.50 Mudstars on mine, but they really run closer to like a 33 X 12.50. They are narrower than that the other 33 X 12.50's that I have on other trucks. They don't rub at all, but the 2"...

Went out in the Alabama ice storm this morning, and it cranked right up with on the first try. The fast idle even still works!
