    Anyone ever open and repair a TCM?

    the transmission all electronic, you can’t Make it manual, unless you have a manual valve body, the 1-2 3-4 are solenoid operated, those shift commands come from the TCM, if the TCM tanks….your in limp mode.

    Anyone ever open and repair a TCM?

    Me thinks its from condensation build up, I’ve had a few that have been wet inside, the truck would literally have to be under water for quite some time with some of the water I’ve seen from inside some I’ve had here in the shop. That’s also the later model TCM from PCS, I prefer the shift...

    Is this all I need? M1097A2

    You need brake line diagram for any and all A2’s, the brake line setup to the calipers is a hodge podge of numerous hard and soft lines as well as clips and brackets. Somewhere on eBay is a complete A2 brake line kit for the price of just one flexible brake line…at least used to be.

    How To Repair HMMWV EESS S3

    Your box is bad…24v for 9 seconds, after glow last 2mins, an S3 smart start sends a constant 5VDC for 2mins, previous start boxes pulsed 24volts for 2mins. If you have 24v after wait light? Your new plugs are now smoked.

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    charging and output are 2 different things, but I’m sure you will disagree as you always do.

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    the reason for a voltage regulator is to regulate ouput, the regulator is calibrated to prevent any output voltage what the regulator is set for 27.5-28.5 for example….driving at high speeds or rpm’s won’t change the output of the generator

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    it’s not smaller to make it charge more, it’s smaller so there is a higher output at lower engine rpm’s

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    the scanner plugs into the harness connector at the transmission, the scanner is plugged in parallel so your can take control or monitor what the TCM is doing.

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    yes, you Will get higher rpms if your TC is not locked up, your brake switch needs to be adjusted, I have a cheater cable I use to test my TC lockup, the 24v is always present on the connector, the switch opens and denies voltage to the TC solenoid, thus unlocking the TC when you come to stop.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Engine oil at every fill up…these older IDI diesels can burn quite a bit of oil, check belt tension while hood open, grab your fan blade and see if the WP shaft is failing, check the coolant level visually through the bottle with a flashligh…
