First, I apologize for the condition of my truck. It's an M882, I rescued it from being scrapped and have fixed it enough to use it around my property. I'm not sure what things have changed since it was built, the exterior definitely but I think many of the other areas have not. Lower dash looks...

Pity you are in Texas, I have a parts M886 that still has some of the gurney stuff in it but i'm in Michigan.

Bumping this old thread back to the top- are you using 37" Humvee tires/ wheels with your 4" lift? I'm trying to convince myself that this is a good idea. What lift kit did you use? One of my rear springs has a broken leaf in it and needs to be replaced, and my tires are shot. I'm trying to...

I snagged my pump, box with arm and drag link from a 79 Powerwagon someone was parting on Craigslist. I also purchased the Borgeson steering shaft from Summit Racing and a rag joint from Rockauto as I couldn't get the donor 79 PS steering shaft to mate with my 77 manual column, this was the...

Also, if your truck is rotted out (bad cab mounts or?), double-check that the shifter is actually hitting the Nuetral Safety switch correctly. I think that might have the same symptom...

The core supports on these seem to be common problems. Don't get me started on Mopar's rust proofing strategy (or complete lack there of). The core support has an outer reinforcement layer that sandwiches the thinner metal of the actual support on the bottom. I had to repair the replacement...

I have no idea if my truck is the way Mopar intended or not, but my key does not lock the column or shifter. My case from the electrical side is very weird as my turn signals and everything work with the switch off and key out! I have to use a battery cutoff so it doesn't drain. On your no...

I'm in White Lake. I bought a fender from another member who's also local, and he mentioned that there are somewhat regular get-togethers somewhere, but I can't remember where.... Perhaps he will chime in? Or maybe the info is in the regional forum...

Thought I would throw up a follow-up. I tried the master listed for the 3500# axle and it wouldn't bolt up to the booster on my truck, the booster studs were too far apart. So I tried the 4500# master and it fit the booster and had the same layout as the old one. In digging around on another...

Hi guys, I have a question about the brake system, specifically the master cylinder, sorry in advance for the rambly post... I drove my truck home after I bought it and the brake system is a mess. The only apparently functional brakes were on the left rear wheel, as it was locking and really...

I grabbed the driver's side a couple of weeks ago. I will get to that shortly, I have to patch the end of the inner fender before I stick that new fender on...

I've been able to get a few things taken care of. For the steering I wound up going the Borgeson shaft route, and used a rag joint/ coupler on the box. I had found the box and pump locally off of a 79 not knowing that the steering column splines were different: I found that the cab mounts were...

Thanks for the info. Are you sure it isn't Walker PN 40461? http://www.carid.com/walker/y-pipe-mpn-40461.html

Can I ask where you located the Y-pipe? I have a 77 M880 as well and mine is swiss cheese! The only replacements I can see are what look like 2wd ones (doesn't look like the crossover will clear the front driveshaft), but I'm probably missing something....

Interesting History I am disassembling the front end of my truck prepping for the core support replacement and came across this. Not sure if this was someone in the past or if this was from the factory, driver's side of the core support, between the radiator and battery:

Thanks for the welcomes. I had been sort of looking for an older truck to handle various tasks, how could I resist something as cool as an old military truck? It's an M882 according to the tag on the dash. My plans are to get PS on it, and fix little things and just use and abuse it. First up...

Hello, just picked up a well-used M880 so will be asking dumb questions about converting to power steering and Dodge rust issues. Seems like a lot of good information here! -Matt
