seems to be all fixed!!!!
I did the amp gauge bypass and everything is working. I don't know why the instructions have you hook the red and black wire together under the dash. That doesn't make any sense but I did it anyway and all is good.
Took it for a test ride and was happy till the...
wierd stuff going on but it might be normal. Tough to tell as the Haynes manual kinds of sucks for wiring.
Trying to figure out why the charging system is not working. Ne alternator, new regulator. I did the checks from the manual such as grounding the field on the alt. This did work and the...
Re: RE: wiring reverse engineering
definitly NOT seeing a ground strap anywhere near the steering box. Can anybody snap a shot of where it is??
I checked the other m880 (which seems to be working fine) and can't find the strap on there either......
One of my new trucks works great, one doesn't.
Wiring issue with horn, lights, starter....
I am kind of blaming everything on the military wiring for lights. Does anybody have the instructions for install of the military wiring I'd like to see that so I can reverse the harness.
Where is the...
Re: RE: Frank
Not really but everything is always for sale.......
I am giving the one on the far right to my Dad. It is the nicest and needs nothing.
As for the other one, low miles but the wiring is kicking my butt. Putting a bunch of redneck engineering into it right now and I hate...
Thanks Bob
FYI
I sent the $$ for the dash yesterday. Take your time getting it to me. I had my back fused together on Monday and can't work on the trucks for a while...
Subject says it all. JC Whitney sent a new catalog which has a tailgate for a 1977 but the website says it's not availible. The '81 and up is. Any differences? Will it fit?
thanks,
Mike
Drove the "new" truck around a little. Took some work to get lights, horn and reverse lights working. They had a bunch of the normal wires spliced into what must have beden the emergency lights.
Question is, what is the fule pacer light. It is on all the time. I did a search and found some...
I did
I had to replace a few of the lines and the fuel pump but I don't think it was for the same reason. The bio will eat the rubber but on mine it happened so fast that I think it was because the veggie oil cleaned the system so well that it actually uncovered leaks that were there already...
If you got the time, can you send me a note with a rough outline on what you have? I already have a water heater and lots of barrels. I'd like to get a 40 to 60 gallon barrel with the cone shaped bottom. Still need a 200 plus gallon storage container so I can stop using all these 55 gallon...
Yeah, bio is the way to go and the couple thousand that it would cost to get set up would get payed back pretty quick the the price for fuel.
I am going to be out of work for a couple months due to back surgery. While I am sitting around, I will be working on gathering parts for lots of...
3 trucks. History help
Thanks in advance if you have any luck. Trying to see if the miles are close to whats on the odometer. Might as well see if you can get history on all three.

I must have gotten spoiled with the m1009. Pleanty of parts out there for them. I need two tailgates, one front grill, one dash pad...... and the list goes on and on......
thanks in advance for any help. Went to one junk yard today and the only old dodge was just sold complete.
Really? What beach?
Why would one of the m880 be higher than the other. Took some measurements and if you look at the pictures, the one on the right is visibly higher?????? Tow hooks are about the same but body on the shinehy red is about 2 inches higher. Warn body bushing on one or body...
my latest 50/50 mix is not doing too well. I must not have dewatered enough. It did look a little cloudy. Hard starts but still running good. Going to start collection parts for a two tank system. Going to run a 5 gallon deisel tank and use the stock tank for the veggie. THe only issue I...
