    M880 truck

    Some data points: Once you work the bugs out of them, 880s are awesome capable trucks. Mine has carried 2 yards of crushed concrete, pulled around a D3 dozer on a 3 axle trailer, transported nearly anything imaginable all over the state of Texas for me a 70 mph. Plan on 8-10 mpg. What...

    M880 truck

    Porkys has a very good point, the fuel pickup is plain steel and can get very rusty. M884 with new tires is worth $1500.

    4L80e issues

    Page 122 for error 85 and 86 discusses the TISS and TOSS sensors providing inputs to the brain that the brain is not expecting, leading to brain going to limp mode. Checking these sensors is where I would start.

    Eco Hubs and 3.07's - in a 2000 M1088 with a 3126 (~24k pounds)

    Did I just buy a 2023 LMTV M1078A1 or not?

    The data plate on the OP's truck was installed when the trucks went back to Sealy for reset some time in the late 2000's.

    In need of how to determine the correct year of a LMTV?

    Looks OK for the most part, only red flag I see is the dash is pulled, might be the start of some troubleshooting, or, if you are lucky, some cannibalization. Check your driveshaft phasing.
