So I have both my front wheel bearing assemblies removed while replacing the bearings and doing a brake job. I started second guessing myself during reassembly and now have gotten thoroughly confused by what I am reading on the interwebz about how it goes back together - to the point that I am...

I had to heat up my passenger side axle shaft nut on my Front Dana 44 until it glowed orange before the %$#$ thing would budge. Now I don't know that I trust the steel after being that hot (it has that gray color to it which makes me think I may have normalized it). Does anyone know of a source...

Quick question - anyone know what size the freeze plugs are on these 318's? I assume they are all the same size - but in particular I need to replace the one by the starter motor.

The 318 in my M880 is around 95,000 miles (if the OD is accurate) and has picked up a few bad habits this year. Smoking (blue-gray smoke) on start. Rough idle. Pinging under heavy load. I have my yearly off-roading trip coming up in October and need my tow rig in good working order. I am...

I am finishing up new wiring harness install and running into problems at the rear of the truck. So a couple of questions. First, did the M880's have an engine ground strap originally or should they have one? Second, how do the rear tail light/brake lights ground? Is it through the metal tail...

Okay, here is my attempt at the dumb question of the day: How do you remove the shifter knob on the NP203 shifter? Is the inside of the knob threaded? Or are you supposed to "push"the knob off by backing off the nut beneath it? Either I am doing it wrong or mine are really froze up - I have...

My 77' M880 is experiencing problems when shifting under heavy load. The symptoms: When gently accelerating up to 55-60mph the tranny will shift normally at all three gears. When rapidly accelerating up to 55-60mph it will shift late and sometimes doesn't want to shift at all. In fact, I have...

Anyone interested in troop benches in Central Arkansas? The wood is gone but I believe the rest is pretty close to complete. I can post up some pics if anyone is interested in them.

My apologies as I am sure someone has asked this before but I don't see a thread on it in the forum. Did any of the Dodge military trucks come with a front DANA 60? I have three M880's and one of them is going to be the donor drivetrain for a 65 Scout build-up and I'd love to find a DANA 60...

Hi all, been surfing the web looking for a good place to talk about my M880 and this looks like the place. I have three of them picked up from an Arkansas Forestry Service auction a couple of years ago. One is my tow rig/work truck and is in pretty good shape. One is a wrecked parts truck, and...
