I pulled out my "Wheels" chrysler M880/890-series manual and according to that they were spec'd with the dana 60, however as NDT and Gringeltaube mentioned, there are differences between 1975- dated axles, '76 , and '77 ... As I previously mentioned, I did have an M880 with a dana 70, for...

you might find you will want to lower the waste oil density with some diesel before running it through the finest final filter .. Will help with flow of course and the low-micron final filter will reduce metal particles as you may know .. Microscopic metal can raise havoc with the IP and...

i used to haul dump trailers of LaFarge quarried New York limestone right out of the pit to a Holcim cement plant blast furnace in whitehall PA .. Brought heavy clinker back from there and dumped it at a LaFarge cement plant in upstate NY where there was yet another blast furnace.. I agree...

There had been talk some years ago that around the same years the M880/890's were being built, IH had developed a 450-something cubic inch V8 for Chrysler-framed RV's because the infamous 440 was being phased out.. Chrysler fell through and did not buy any.. This motor was retooled into a...

I had two of them... Both were moulded one-piece fiberglass units without rear window opening.. One was more rugged than the other.. One was on a 5-ton M51 and the other on a deuce, M49C.... Both of them were of different manufacture design and about 4 to 6 inches taller than yours all...

well, if one of you fellas out there want to come tie a recovery rope to one of my ankles, I will go do the deed ;)

yes it sure looks good !

I have yet to see one in the M880/890's, but I bet this obscure fact blows a lot of minds out there .. Call me crazy but there are some things you cannot un-see once you see it .. Since 1983 I have owned a 1977 plymouth trailduster some friends called "The Beast"... I plowed...

All conjecture is welcome to see all possibilities of his mystery... Correct, there are incomplete numbers on his tag , but as NDT stated above, the VIN on his tag indicates a 4x2 truck, not a 4x4 .. Perhaps could be a mistake by the puncher, but the VIN denotes a 1979 factory 4x2 VIN ...

I would like to say they all had the same model axle with same features, but I had a M880 I sold several years ago that had a single-wheel dana rear stamped "70" .. Due to the rust and original style u-bolts/nuts, it did not appear to be a swap.. I bought it from a town who had gotten it...

good catch! Can't believe i missed it .. i was focusing on the bogus NSN and TB number .. good job

yep, i hope that is truly his case ;) ... '79's have full-time as well, though , and grilles/rad supports are very interchangeable... He also needs to check if he has the heavier M880/890 rear axle , and there might be a VIN stamped into outside of the frame rail, passenger side below door ...

the factory VIN tag should be riveted on inside pocket of driver door below the latch opening

Early-79 power wagons had 2 round headlamps as did the earlier years.. Your grille and directional design is not 77-78 as you know.. Mid-to late 79 had four rectangular lamps .. The VIN indicates 1979 (6th digit) .. Your dash plate looks suspicious to me, as any salvaged plates and trucks I...

bump please

30yrs ago i went to an estate auction involving a large junkyard which also had used truck sales out front .. Out back in the auction line were about a dozen G749's .. One tractor, one tanker, the rest cargo.. Of interest, one of them had a home-made hardtop made from a mid-60's civilian truck...

Being an M109, perhaps it will have enough weight on its back .. I can tell you about the one time I removed the front axle driveshaft as well as the rearmost driveshaft on an M818 to supposedly reduce wear and tear on a 250-mile roadtrip.. As a result of only having one drive axle, wheel hop...

yep. always consider that or you will wind up on youtube's "11foot8 bridge crash compilation" :D i realize you are gonna drive yours, clearance can still be an issue in places especially at railroad overpasses... if a RR one gets hit there's a really big "to-do" with those and they aren't...

1: Any civilian air brake trailer will work with tactical military trucks having air or air/hyd systems , doesn't matter .. 2: The trailer gladhands hook to their respective receps in same manner as they do in the commercial world .. 3: The inverse is also true: a commercial truck with...

had a holley 4bbl on a truck and it was always blowing out the power valve .. Then one day it coughed and next thing i knew the paint was peeling/burning off the hood as i was going down the road.. And that was the end of hollies around here except for the one still on my M51, which has not...
