Dang, the scrap yard that was going to be supplying my transmission computer fell through. When they went to pull the part, they discovered that somebody had beaten them to it and neglected to tell anybody about it... They look to be the only major salvage yard in under a 100 miles that would...

I hope you've got a good patent lawyer, because this guy right here just beat you to the prototype stage Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

Where have you been? Under a rock? Too busy reading the TM to notice that this has already been done? It was showcased in Dubai, land of the absurd who try to prove that money can buy anything. It's a completely custom body, but it seems that it's actually an H1 chassis under there...

My god...I'm my own best personal researcher. About five times in the last two weeks, I've come searching for information that I've thought I've never looked at before...only to find that every answer I was looking for, I had already compiled together and posted on here somewhere. Either this...

Hey, jokes aside this time, I might just have my HMMWV mission capable by this weekend. It's already drivable, but I still need to finish a grabbing a new transmission computer to get full operation and need to replace two small coolant hoses that are leaking faster than I'd like. Sent from my...

I'll throw in that I'm also eagerly awaiting these questions to be answered...Action has asked a lot of the same questions that came to mind for me. As well, count me in for a vote of preferring that this would be an aluminum case and painted to match 383 CARC green. But the aluminum vs steel...

I was trying to get the diagnostics set to output anything. I had power and the adapter was talking to the computer, but nothing from adapter to TCM. No response to key on or off change status...just no response. So going on a feeling that the TCM might be dead, I took to pulling it out and...

Be advised that it's generally noted in automotive applications that soldering connections in a wiring harness is not good practice. The solder will often wick up into the braid of the wire and past any strain relief, creating a spot where some of the strands of the wire are stiffened and able...

I had camping arrangements in the same state park. I arrived early that morning (intended to be there the night before) so that I'd be close to where I needed to be in the normal-hours morning. Haven't gone back to my garage yet. I can check it out tomorrow evening with the diagnostics set. I...

Oh, I know, but thanks for sharing your concern! Pressures run way higher and temperature control is certainly an issue. I have my original transmission that I have set aside for rebuilding already. There's a few things not right with the current transmission that I'm running that would...

So gents, it was a final hour mission. Myself and two friends were tearing into the HMMWV late on the night before the wedding. We finished up all the mechanical details and worked together to finish up the rest of the electronics. Lots of things that we skipped...but in the end, we had it...

Alright, both solutions are correct. You need a lift and you need to trim the body in the doghouse opening. Easiest way to know where to trip is to install the turbo doghouse cover and then reach up from under to trace out the shape it makes. Just make sure you leave enough for the cover to...

Well, he did realize it was a trap as soon it was time to unload the transmission from the car. Pretty sure that his past experience with a transmission was for a much smaller FWD transaxle, so there was much yowling involved in him helping me remove this from the car. Now that we had the...

I believe it's the van-style turbo that you need, so that it fits correctly in the engine bay. You'll also need a new intake assembly, as that's different. You'd want new injectors rated for the fuel rate, and your injection pump tuned/replaced with one also meant for the fuel rate. You'll...

Now I just want to see you ask a would-be simple, frequently asked question so that we can see Action (et al, really...) tell you to read the TM. You know, the TM that covers GM powertrains in a HMMWV. [emoji14] Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

I appear to have sold a friend on a transmission swap being a fun thing that he should look forward to. Therefore, I'm saving the least-technical and most labor-intensive part of the job for him tomorrow. (I disconnected everything and pulled all the lines and electronics...he gets to help...

Oh man, I really want those door swingarm mounts. That's my idea of how I'd like to arm-up my soft top. Specifically, one for the passenger side since I plan to stick with two-door soft top. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

Is that a modified seat back? Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

I did get the engine fully buttoned back up with the air intake back in place as it should be. It's quite nice to be hearing the engine rumbling on, with the hood down, grill up, and lights on again-its been a year! Now, I did do some more investigation on the transmission. I let the engine...

I too am banking on poor return line performance. That could cause a pressure issue in the pump and lead to a stall, but naturally would take a short running period to lead to failure. You mentioned having a fresh reman pump in there as well, but I'm wondering if you're having a solenoid...
