    REV winch options

    The prob with ECV/REV trucks Is the lower radiator hose is in the way, so the OEM MM and Warn kits changed it all up to move the affected components. I personally like the rear winch option as it’s easy to install and really just makes more sense From a recovery aspect.

    Rotted headliner removal.

    buy the current issue OEM roof pads and use all the Proper OEM retainers and it will be fine for the next 15yrs or longer. I’ve done many ceilings, it’s labor tedious but not hard, the new pads have adhesive already applied

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    Buying a HMMWV and expecting to convert it to an H1 is like buying a house next to an Airport and expecting not to hear Airplanes taking off and landing…it’s a lesson in futility at the very least and second, it’s an assault on your wallet.

    THE PLASTIC — Tail light housing and side marker light housing

    You cannot get quality paint out of a spray can…it’s impossible due to what it takes to get it to shoot through the spray tip. UV plays havoc on cheap paint from a spray can in very short order.

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    The harness connections are OEM like all GM connectors for the transmission, A tech with proper tools can connect inline and perform diagnostics both ways while in monitor mode or control the transmission altogether.

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    Are you waiting on something before you just spend a few extra bucks and replace the TPS? also, to Set and adjust the TPS, you rotate the throttle linkage At the Injection pump. I also wouldnt use a transmission shop that doesn’t know how to adjust a TPS on a 90’s GM product, that’s pretty sad...

    6.5 Turbo Oil Pan Damage

    you have to pull the radiator stack anyway to pull the motor, so get the stack removed and pull the front of the motor and perform as much of an RCA as possible, you can run the motor with the stack removed if you loop the trans and eng oil hoses…

    thats a broad question, as we build, sell and install turrets monthly on this platform… yes, the TM is confusing on this. But the short answer is, you can install any hmmwv turret version into an an M1151 as long as you have the proper Slewing ring in the roof hole…there are 2 versions of the...

    air in fuel issues

    It’s common for the diaphragm to fail, as long as no air is in the system, the injection pump will act as a lift pump, as soon as the water separator is opened though, your done. I tell my customers, don’t ever check your water separator unless your prepared to be stranded, I’ve had more than...

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    You can have the best kit on the market, it’s the guy doing the work that makes all the difference, that and knowing how to apply the various upgrades and fixes to the transmission while it’s apart, that’s why I send all my transmissions out to a company here locally

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    that black stuff is clutch plate and overheated transmission fluid…you can’t bring a transmission back from that.
