Thanks for the reply..... I kinda figured that would be the answer but I wanted to make sure Nick

Hi guys, I was just wondering..... when you are spraying a vehicle, do you mask off each color? or just spray it and dont worry about the colors overspraying onto the next. Thanks Nick

Thanks for the info..... This is my first MV and I have no clue how the military keep up on there vehicles. I just thought that maybee they put alcohol in them to prepare for desert shield / storm..... it had a printed tag from 1992 stating that it was checked. I also had some kind of...

Hi Guys, The antifeeeze in my M880 looks prety clear, But it test to -45 deg. I was told that the Army might have put alcohol mixed with the water in the radiator to raise the boiling point. wich would also act as an antifreeze. Does anybody know anything about this ? Thanks, Nick

Mine looks like a regular set up..... No helper springs.

In have seen a couple of picks of the M880 dash..... There seems to be a sticker next to the data plate. anyone know what tis sticker says? Thanks, Nick

Thanks for the advice .... I have talked with an educated mechanic... he also recommends checking the alt. any ground wire and voltage regulator. I will do this when the truck is closer to getting on the road. But for now I am trying to handle a problem with my tranny fluid. It looks like it...

I checked the cables to the battery and they seem fine. I also checked the power feed comming off the alt. and the ground wire going to the fender..... the problem continues I noticed tonight that when I turn on the ingnition and or light switch on I get a loud "click" noise comming from under...

Hi guys, I am having some electric trouble with my M880..... The alt gage vibrates back and forth and increases when I turn on the lights. the lights flicker constantly. the truck idles fine and everything works and there are no blown fuses. Any ideas on what this could be? thanks : Nick

The engin stalling might be something as simple as cleaning or adj. the choke / carb. I dont think I would do an engin swap if it is a true M.V. (318) I have some picks of my current restoration of an M880. you can see them here at the "photo gallery". they might help you decide what you...

You bet... It looks like the ENTIRE truck was brushed Twice over the orginal forest green paint that it came with. Even the inside of the doors were brush painted. :cry: Imagin giving a 19 year old a 3in paint brush, a couple gallons of paint. and telling him on a payday weekend that his...

OH, Ok..... Thanks again Bob, Nick

they do look tougher.... and I can tell you that sanding out all those brush marks and runs are tougher that sanding a civilian paint job. :) But I can also tell you it has got to be cheeper to keep on the road that my explorer..... fuel pump for '96 ford explorer = $100. bucks fuel pump...

Well, Looks like I owe my buddy a beer for losing what I thought was a sure bet! Did the M880 come with ANY special features? or is the entire truck a standard 3/4 ton? Thanks once again for the info. Nick

can any body tell me if the suspension set up on the M880 the same as the civ. 3/4 ton trucks ? Thanks, Nick :roll:
