Hi all. I have a really strange problem that I have not encountered before in nearly 40 years of working on motor vehicles. A month or so ago while driving her she coughed, spluttered and died at a road crossing. Fuel was spewing out of the top of the carburettor and the inlet manifold was awash...
Hi all. My M882 ran beautifully until about a month ago. The temperature is abnormally high in the UK at the moment but not by US climate levels.
She is BAD starting and cutting out at road junctions. I am suspecting vapour lock in the carburettor and considering fitting an electric pump. lI...
Hi all. I know this has been covered before but does anyone know where I can obtain the fasteners that hold the canopy to the bedsides. Mine are all unservicable and the canopy flaps when at speed. Where do you get them ?
I am considering buying an M151 Jeep. It has a hard top fitted. Needs recommissioning and paint. Is the hardtop removable to put it back to standard and what is it worth ? I bow to your superior knowledge.
Hi all. I am desperate to replace my cracked and very old 16.5 tyres on my Dodge. A guy relatively local to me has a set of 15 x 8 wheels brand new in boxes.
It says on the box 'Chevy, Ford and Dodge'. Has anyone ever tried running a Dodge on 15' wheels, do they clear the calipers on the front...
I appear to be having a problem charging. At about 1500 rpm with no electrical equipment switched on she seems to be running at 12.6 volts. If you turn the headlamps and heater fan on the voltage dips further and it is inadequate to run any high drain electrics efficiently. The alternator looks...
Hi all.
Stupid question time again. Will post 1981 Dodge Ram doors fit the earlier trucks. I have looked at them and I can see no reason why they would not fit but they seem to sell the later doors at a well known supply shop but do not list them for earlier models. I bow to your greater...
Hi all.
My Dodge is not as happy with hot starts as she is with cold starting. When she has been running for a while and got up to running temperature if you stop her she takes a fair amount of cranking before she will fire up again. If you leave her to cool for a good period or say overnight...
Hi guys. Does anybody know how to remove the horn push on a 715 ?
the horn is stuck on and I have pulled the wires off to silence it !!!
I don't want to damage the horn push or steering wheel because replacement will be impossible here in England. Any ideas ????
Hi all.
Does anyone on this site know what radio comms equipment an M882 would have had fitted in the late '70s ? Does anyone know where I might acquire it ?

Hi all.
I have bought a Dodge M880 in the States. I have had it transported via an independent carrier from Northern Pennsylvania to the docks in New York to facilitate shipping to Liverpool in the UK. The Dodge started easily and drove on to the truck, and drove off without any...
