    Tires

    The humvee tires will fit on a stock M880.But you cannot drive the truck. They will rub HARD on the steering linkage.You will need a 4 inch lift minimum to run them without rubbing. Also you will need to switch to a power steering unit.The manual steering linkage comes out the side of the box...

    Brake issues M882

    Bob,That was my original thought.I bought a rebuilt from NAPA and I thought it was bad,So I then bought a new production from Advanced and I,m getting the same results.I had this same issue on another truck a while back and after bleeding everything a thousand times I finally got a good pedal.

    I will go thru the system again,And replace the hoses you mentioned.The last time I had this happen,It was a pin hole in the metal line on the frame behind the fuel tank.But I do not see any leakage here.

    Turn signal issues

    I have replaced the column signal harness with another one I had,Because the signal arm would not return after a turn.But,The signals did not work before I replaced this and I had hoped replacing the harness would cure this issue.I did get them to work for a very short period by messing with the...

    M882 stalls when put in gear

    Well,I thought I had it.It ran fine for a while.But now its back.Stalls when I step on the gas.But it does run better when it is warmed up.I have 4 of these trucks and I've got to say they all have the Dodge "dead spot" when accelerating.This truck is by far the worst.It will idle just fine,But...

    M882 stalls when put in gear

    M882 stalls when put in gear

    Bob,Sorry I forgot to mention. The carb is brand new out of the box.The truck will drive fine,It is just hard to get it from a stand still to driving.I have to rev the engine and kind of neutral drop it to go.There is no putting it in gear and stepping on the gas.That is when it stalls.

    M882 no parking lights

    After a lot of wire tracing,I found that 2 wires in the junction block on the fire wall had been placed out of order.By this I mean the brown wire for the parking lights was in the wrong plug in the junction block.It appears to have been made like this as the wire harness was never molested.I...
