N1265, Good additional information about the relays and other electrical gremlins. I will put a status update on my truck's progress under M880, Begining. Got some good news to report.

N1265, Thanks for the additional information about the relays. I have the one by the fuse box, but not the one by the parking brake. I found them in the TM, but didn't come up with an explanation of the circuitry. For right now, I reverted back to parking lights and headlights being powered by...

Zanman, I'm new at this also, just got my M880. I sincerly suggest that you somehow get a look at the ammeter connections on the instrument panel. If you see corrosion and discoloration, that's resistance at these terminals creating heat and it is the power connection for the trucks electrical...

What is amazing is that this old 435 sitting on a wagon looks almost as big as an NV4500, I know it must be smaller, but it's big. My Son's truck has the NV4500, mine has the NV5600. I'll take a bicture of the conversion parts collection this weekend and put it up, quite a pile and I know I'm...

Lanty, Thanks for the review. I am thinking about replacing the input shaft because the pilot bushing race is a bit pitted, I don't want it to tear up a brass pilot. I will get the Mopar 78- parts book tonight and look up the details from the tag.

Progress Update I think it was a good idea to pull the harness and inspect it, replaced quite a few crimped only connectors with butt connectors, solder and shrinkwrap. I used the wiring diagram in the TM and chased the pins from the BOL connector to the harness, one discrepancy, but it matched...

Thanks for the comments guys. Lanty, I'm hoping that my Mopar parts advisor over here has his stuff together, he's a parts mgr for many years and picked this trans up for me last week. I will get it tomorrow and take a picture later this week for your comments. I try to get the year of the 435...

Hi Guys, New to SS, Chris introduced me to SS from another forum. Found a '77 M880 showing less than 30K on the odometer, history unknown, here in my town, or should I say it found me. Back in the early '80's I had a nice M38 should have kept that one, oh well. We trailerd the M880 home...

I do not know your engine configuration , so this may not apply. But on several F/W replacements, I have used a piece of angle iron with holes drilled in it at a clutch cover bolt hole and one of the holes in the engine block or adaptor. Put a bolt in each one and see if it meets your approval...
