    Inside a 3 lever BO Switch...

    The lighs in my M880 keep clicking out after a while , expecially when running trailer brakes, emergency flashers or high beams. Over the last couple of years I have gone threw everything and a while back I replaced the BO switch and it cured my problem, but it has since returned. I thought...

    Reliability of a deuce vs a 1980's suburban or F350?

    Altho the suburban is easier to drive and work on, you cant stand up in a suburban... If you plan on having to live out of a vehicle for any period of time, expecially if you plan on parking it in a woods, I would go with the M109.

    Inside a 3 lever BO Switch...

    Well I took apart one of my 3 lever switches today and I have a couple of questions. In picks #4 and #5 : 1 ) What is it ? 2 ) what does it do ? 3 ) Do they ever go bad and need replaced ? I figure that in picks # 6 and #7 this is the 20 AMP internal Circuit Breaker that everyone talks...

    Fuel Pump

    Filters and pumps are cheep enough, But with only 1000 miles on the pump I think I would try cleaning it and putting the filter before the pump first, to see if that works.

    This guy gets my vote & You Tube on GL

    Looks like a good idea having the video, But might I suggest using a younger woman in a bikini to model the stuff ? using old "baldie locks" to show off the goods just doesen't inspire me to bid on a box of bags...:roll: Just a thought...

    CUCV Rims fit

    I know some guys around here who have taken the Chevy rims and had the hub hole machined out so they could put them on Dodges and Fords. I wonder if Uncle Sam asked Chevy to make the hub holes bigger on the CUCV rims so they WOULD interchange with the M880s ? after all, they were in...

    new m880 owner questions

    Thanks, I did not do a frame off restoration on this truck because I do use it AS a truck. It also serves as my backup vehicle and seen every day action a couple of months ago when the trans in my Explorer went out. If you go to the old SS site and look in the photo albums you will see some...

    3 lever switch bypass

    GOODBREWING : I thought of doing it that way, but the original wires that were taken out of the headlight switch were cut and taped, Plus I want the option to hook the 3 lever switch back up and "show off" the blackout lights in the future. I have the wiring diagrams for both the civilian...

    3 lever switch bypass

    Well I tried to bypass the switch today but failed, I tried to jump pin F ( witch is constantly hot ) to all the other pins ( one by one ) to get the lights going . I figured that by doing this it would complete the circuit and work, But no dice. Is this how you bypassed your switch ? Got...

    new m880 owner questions

    I think Alfa-Haven is asking around 5 to 6k for theirs. I am not sure if they actually get this but they do look pretty good, have hummer tires and most have low miles and the PS conversion . A lot really depends on how much rust and dents they have, but most of the ones I have seen around...

    3 lever switch bypass

    Thanks for the reply, I have made a pig tail with an in line fuse and will try to figure out what positions on the plug I need to wire in a week or so. At least now I know it can be done.

    3 lever switch bypass

    Well it looks like my newer 3 lever switch is deciding to cut out on its own again, I can run the normal lights without a problem but whenever I plug in a trailer, run the emergency flashers, or use the high beams the CB in the 3 lever switch starts kicking out. I am wondering if anybody has...
