    M882 stalls when put in gear

    Ethanol deteriorated accelerator pump would be my guess.

    NOTE: Picture # 3 is NOT battle damage. It is a range target brought to the MIMVPA display by Camp Grayling Air Gunnery Range.

    M882 no parking lights

    Would start with fuse, then the headlight switch, can't recall ever having that issue. Yet 99% of electrical issues on these are ground related.

    Nice Truck Rescued From The Scrapper And Some Body IS IN Big Trouble !

    Bed like a M888, but it isn't and there wasn't a 2wd version of it in the M890 series. GSA regularly messes up the years on these Dodges. The 6th digit in the vin is the year W24BE6Sxxxxxx would be a 76 pickup (W21BE6Sxxxxxx would be a cab & chassis) No DATA plate riveted to the dash?

    Fuel problem

    Could be vapor lock. Radiator Hose? I eliminated the metal line that runs up to the carb, allowing me to run the rubber line away from heat sources. Yet perhaps there is a restriction between pump & tank which is limiting flow and when revved up on the road, she sucks the fuel right out of the...

    M880 lift

    the add a leaf spring is about just as long as the main leaf. it is also arched, if you simply added a leaf of the same length as one of the shorter ones you would only gain the thickness of that leaf, basically just a spacer. refer to picture #1 above, before that "add a leaf" the rubber...

    Leaf spring re-arch

    1976/1977 Dodge W200 pickup with 3500 lb front axle (D44) for reference my W400 with a 4500 lb front axle (D60) has 6 or 7 leaves under the main leaf. They are interchangeable between the two. JC Whitney among dozens of other online sources has them, any spring shop can get or make them.

    Brake Fluid DOT 3 and DOT 5

    If it was DOT5 & they added DOT3, it should have blended by now & would look nasty.

    Brake Fluid DOT 3 and DOT 5

    jeez, give the service tech the benefit of doubt. Your truck have those yellow stickers on it that say Use Silicone fluid only? He may have noticed. What was written on the repair bill? Could simply stop in and ask the service guy.

    M880 lift

    Works for me The left front will hit the pitman arm when turned full right. Mine are on 6 7/8 wide stock wheels, the spaced out humvee wheels may make a difference.

    Got my lift kit in finally!

    Got me! I said oow - ah, an elusive M888! Then I remembered, it was a M882 with a M888 bed. Still cool.
