    Adding a tach?

    Does it go over 50? then it's likely in 3rd.... if it shifts into 2nd without being wound out it is likely shifting into 3rd also.

    Armstrong Begone.....

    Well shucks, the Dodge isn't adjustable like the Chevy. Anyway, two pics 1st one is stock 1978, turned full left, the connecting rod is 18 inches long. 2nd pic is of a PS box from a 76 Ramcharger on my 77 M884, just used the box & pitman arm.

    Armstrong Begone.....

    sounds like it wasn't centered when the link between box & axle was attached. put it on jack stands, unhook steering arm from pitman arm, verify wheels turn fully & return then to center pitman arm needs to be perpendicular to the frame (pointing straight out) adjust length of steering arm to...

    There are diagrams in the TM's (pdf's in the TM section) The blackout system is an add on to the stock Dodge wiring. It connects in to the stock lighting system so as to disable the stock exterior lighting during blackout operations.

    M880 Power Steering Conversion Complete List

    Junk yard, for parts off a 75 to 77 4x4, you would just need the gearbox w/pitman arm, pump, hoses & brackets. Ramcharger, 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton 1 ton 4x4 all the same parts. To use parts from other years will require many more parts. I know of no real list. Searching this forum will provide all the...

    77 M880 Won't Stay Running When Warmed up Under Load

    What is the idle speed in park once fully warmed up, choke fully off? in park? Can we assume it stays running @ idle in gear when cold and the fast idle is active?

    cucv m1008 6.2 to 454 big block swap questions.

    the 89 454 would be throttle body injection, which uses the an in tank pump with a return system. swapping to a carburetor would solve that, I don't know if the 89 would have the place or cam lobe for a mechanical fuel pump, so an inline electric there. The TH400 i the CUCV has a very low stall...

    Transfer case swap

    As the full time NP203 has a differential in it, power is transferred to the axle with the least resistance. This allowed my son to repeatedly do as you have said during his senior year in my stock M880 with 285R75 tires on it. the final drive ratio of all 727 transmissions is 1:1

    It looks like the round heat shield is spot welded to the top plate at 4 places in between screw heads.

    Loss of acceleration today?

    Guess upstream isn't the right term, when it dies out, the filter on the firewall is full of fuel. So my thinking is if the sock or lift pump were the issue the injection pump would have sucked the fuel from the filter. Thinking the issue is between firewall filter and the cylinders. Odd that...

    Loss of acceleration today?

    Each time filter was full of fuel, so it would seem the issue is upstream of there.
