    M884 found / M880 series value?

    I agree, If road worthy I would say $4,500. The fact that it is 4WD = $1,000. The fact that it's a DODGE = $1,000. The fact that it is an MV = $1,000. The fact that you could drive it anywhere without a lot of prior work...

    Now I did it...

    The majority of the time , the sending unit will have a hole in the float and this is why they always read empty. They are brass but for some reason rust out. they are cheep on e-bay ( about $10. U.S.D.) and you can use the aftermarket ones marketed for the older ford mustangs. ( if same...

    SS members what do you think ?

    I have been a PGR member for many years now, I use the bike in good weather and the M880 in the winter , or with HOTH missions. I have 3 magnetic signs that I put on the truck when using it as an escort. The best advice I can give is to check in with the RC as soon as possable and follow his...

    Rookie looking for M880 brake line advice

    I agree, just slide the new line threw there and be done with it. cut out what you can of the old stuff and leave the rest in place.

    Now I did it...

    IMO, 1) The Ford part number you gave in the above post is for a solenoid, try jumping the starter as JAXSO stated above after ensuring you have power to the main lug on the starter. I am not sure how these two would work together. did it run this way before ? 2) The way you wired the...

    Now I did it...

    Current is designed to flow both ways threw that wire ( orginaly should be red from the amp gage to the relay), by disconnecting the orginal wire from the starting relay I dont see how you are getting power from the battery to the fuse box. Also by cutting the black wire before the welded...

    Going rate for clean low mileage m880

    That's a hard question to answer, there are a few mods that are recommended by everybody who has them and it's hard to put a price on a truck that is not right in front of your eyes. But I would not sell my M880 for less than. 1) Complete with troop seats, cargo cover and blackout lights ...

    75uf capacitors

    A few M880 Questions

    The best MPG I ever got on mine is 11.5 MPG. ( after a carb rebuild ) No major mechanical issues, that being said the weak spot is the front wheel bearings, be sure to check them. Electrical issues will be your biggest problem, ESPECIALLY if a previous owner tried to re-wire something to get...

    A Question About Lights

    Check the Brown wire at the bulkhead connector ( both sides and both positions) If no power coming into the connector then check at the headlight switch itself, ( both in park and headlight "on" position ) Then if still no power, check to see if you have power coming into the light switch...

    A Question About Lights

    They should be on with the headlights. When you turn on the headlights and loose the front parking lights, do you also loose the tail lights ? If not, then the problem should be in the front of the truck. If so, then the problem could be the light switch itself . also try to wiggle the BO...

    Almost got another one in Mid Michigan

    Are those Chevy hub caps on that Dodge ? If so, this is probably why he thinks the plow is worth more than the truck.

    Useful Information

    Nice M880, However my research leads me to believe that : 1) These trucks did not come with power steering. 2) The civilan version of the '76 -'77 318 had some emissions, that were deleted on the Government contract. Still a nice article , thanks for sharing :-)

    Universal adjustable fuel sending unit?

    A lot of the time the only thing that is wrong with the sending unit is that the float gets a hole in it. Thay can be had on e-bay for $10 . ( I think )
