Uhmm.. sorry, but your info here isn't quite correct. Dodge never mounted the steering gear inside of the frame until the `94 and later models. The steering gear was mounted with the pitman arm in a vertical orientation until `77. In `78 and through out the `80's and early `90's the gear box...

I can tell you my experience with valve train problems on the M880 that I have since fixed. First, the engine used to blow blue smoke out the tail pipe almost every time I started the engine, but not so much after it ran a while. Secondly, the lifters were quite noisey at start up sometimes...

Kenneth, I looked back on some of my posts and I think I owe you an apology. I didn't mean to sound pushy, but I think it came across that way.<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_blush.gif" alt="Blush"> I very much appreciate your help in finding the TB 43-0209 publication, (I've been looking for...

You know, I think I'll check into it. I'm going to go see what a gallon of the paint would cost me, and then compare it to the total cost of purchase and shipping the Gillespie paint. Thanks for the input.

Ah, ther you go. Now you're talking. I'd like to put a Cummins turbo Diesel under the hood of my M880 as well. Mate it up to an NV4500 manual five speed transmission. One day, one day...

Looks like Hankie is out of the business until Fall. So the hazardous material charges on shipping this stuff is pretty pricey, eh? I'm starting to consider another option. We have a really good automotive paint supplier in my area, and I went over there to see if I could get a sample of the...

Hi Kenny, I got your Email showing me the link to click on to get this manual online. Worked great, thank you very much. I still don't think I've got the 4 color pattern for the M880 however. Did you say the original 1976 version of the TB 43-0209 had the MERDC 4 color paint in it? Did you...

Hey the truck looks great! Looks like you got a killer deal on this M887. And only 11,000 miles on the clock!! So you mentioned putting Humvee tires on it, I assume that means a suspension lift is in the works?

Hello Kenneth, you haven't forgotten me, have you? You were going to Email me that TB 43-0209 document, right? I'd be interested in any and all versions of it, the original 1976 publication, as well as any revisions such as 1990 or 1991 revs with the NATO patterns. Here's my Email address...

Ohhhh... So you're saying there were later revisions of the The TB 43-0209, the original showing the MERDC four color paint, and later versions showing the NATO pattern? I would be interested in both the old four color patterns and the new NATO paterns. Thank you!! <img...

Hey thanks guys! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_thumzup.gif" alt="Thumb Up"> I appreciate the compliments on the M880. Recovry4x4, you can send the manuals to me at this Email address: gvanhorn@xmission.com So the Rapco is coming in as the first preference? Anybody know what shipping is...

As I understand it, the "383" paints ARE the NATO colors for the 3 color pattern.

Oh yeah, question for you all: Which camouflage paint suplier is better for overal price, quality, resistance to fade, etc: Rapco Aervoe Hentzen other

Would you be willing to let me down load your PDF copy of the TB 43-0209 manual? That would be a good one to have also. Also, After you mentioned the MERDC 4 color pattern (I didn't know that was what it was called)I did a search, and here's a page I found...

That would be much appreciated if you could find the 4 color pattern for the M880 and the FS colors. By the way, which Technical manual are those in? These are the manuals I currently have: TM 9-2320-266-10 hardcopy TM 9-2320-266-24P electronic PDF TM 9-2320-266-34 electronic PDF TB...

Hello Richard, I seriously wanted to do that originally, but the only pattern I could find for the M880 was the NATO three color version. I've never been able to find the original 1975 4 color pattern or the FS numbers for the paint colors. Do you know were I could find those?

How's this for an idea: a `77 Ramcharger (same year as the M880) with a `94 - `98 12 valve Cummins turbo Diesel (w/intercooler) and an NV4500 manual five speed tranny, mounted up to the stock NP203 transfer case and Dana 60 axles front and rear. Of course some modifications would have to be...

Hello all, new member here. Just thought I'd post here and say hello to all of you. I have an M880 that I bought in Fall of 1998 with only 23,200 miles on the clock. Currently has about 53,000. I've swapped in power steering, added the blackout light kit (never had it installed), a 4" lift...
