Hey Griff -

Reading you talk about heater control panels makes me wonder if I couldn't track down a new control panel, and cables for mine.

Need another new speedo cable too... unfortunately, that's a specialty part due to cruise control. Had to have one custom made last time.

Okay, I decided I didn't want to do anything I was supposed to be doing ...

The instrument voltage regulator for both the '76 & '78 Dodge B300 is CarQuest ECC 52-1402, which they call an Instrument Cluster Voltage Regulator.

Should be the same for the MB300s.

Thanks so much!!

Parts guy says he needs ohm readings on present sensor to match aftermarket fuel gauge. Any chance someone knows??

If you have a factory gas tank and sending unit from dodge it should be 73 thru 10 ohms .

Hi & thanks kindly for that.

Was wondering...
The plug that plugs into the cluster gauge has broken pins.
Does this affect tail lights??...by chance??

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I looked through the first 20 or so pages but didn't see the answer I was looking for ... maybe one of you can help me out.

I just bought a 1981 Triple E Micmac IV motor home. It's a 26' and a real cream puff in terms of interior and extrior condition. All the appliances work, the interior is clean and in excellent shape, and exterior body looks fantastic. The motorhome has whopping 50,643km on it.

I paid $1800 CAD ... the seller was very motivated and I was in the right place at the right time. I truly think this unit was a steal even with the minor mechanical repairs it requires to be passed for safety.

It needs very little work to pass a safety, rear axle seals, ball joints, idler arms, and a few marker lights. This is easy work for me as I have the facility, tools, knowledge, and experience.

The problem I'm having is sourcing parts. The plate inside the drivers side door pillar states it as being a Dodge F40. The badge on the side of the vehicle states Sportsman. I've read some guys say to cross reference with an MB400, MB300, or B300.

I'm totally confused here and want to order the right parts once.

What vehicle do you use to source parts from? The B300?

Here's the plate from the inside drivers side door pillar:

Hey all,

Any of you who own a vintage Dodge B300 Sportsman ever replace the sole gray/back water tank? The one that I have has held it's last (it's falling apart). It is a round tank so I seriously doubt I would find a similar replacement and will most likely end up using a Barker/Thetford/Tote-N-Store tank if I cannot find a replacement.
