    Tachometer acting wacky

    First what model HMMWV do you have? Some Tachs are run by a tach drive in the back of the engine while others are hooked up to the alternator.

    No wonder I lost brake line pressure today

    Brakes... Who needs them? They just slow you down!

    Need a sample Humvee VIN number.

    I think your last sentence is wrong. It should read "So now we have countless agencies in 50 states full of morons". Carry on.

    Rear composite to LED conversion

    I think I understand your question. You purchased only the light and not the light mounting bucket that makes up the back of the light. I thought you meant the bucket that mounts to the fenders but in this case the bucket is actually the rear of the light housing. In the brochure it shows...

    4l80e head scratcher.. need help

    Where you already have everything on your truck for the stock TCM and wiring it's hard to suggest going a different route. A full aftermarket TCM and wiring harness for your transmission would cost $750. I have personal experience with the Quick4 TCM and like it a lot. If you are handy at all...

    4l80e head scratcher.. need help

    I don't have first hand knowledge on the TCM but in general that type of intermittent issue is probably in the power circuit or some wiring. The TCM can go bad but if it intermittently works that is likely a wiring. Also any time the transmission loses control signals the default is 2nd gear...

    Need a sample Humvee VIN number.

    Californistan is completely different than the US. Good luck.

    Need help understanding all the Humvee tire choices

    The run flats also supply a bead lock. The stock rims don't have regular beads on them so if you remove the run flat you need to get aftermarket bead locks (large PVC spacer) so the beads will seal. A tube won't work for that. Here is the bead lock https://www.ebay.com/itm/134350481890

    A/C Help needed

    I would recommend taking it to someone that does AC work. It's not hard to work on but you should really know what you are doing as the refrigerant is particularly bad for you.

    M998 Electrical Issue

    That's what the TM's are for. Here's where you can find them. If you plan on keeping this truck, you are going to need to know how to use them. Seems like a good time to start. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/tms-for-the-m998-series-hmmwv.78861/

    Transmission problems 4 speed.

    Based on your description, I would be inclined to look for a wire issue, intermittent short, ground or bad connection in the crank sensor circuit. I wouldn't go after the gear since it would be unlikely to be damaged.

    Lights shutting off if I keep either highbeams or bright dash on

    I guess I missed the part where he said it happens as soon as they are turned on. I got the impression it's based on current draw and not immediately after it is turned on.

    Lights shutting off if I keep either highbeams or bright dash on

    Also, you should check all your light bulbs to make sure they are 28v. What is tripping the breaker is the total current used to power all lights, marker lights, tail lights, etc. When you turn on the high beams it puts you over the amount required to trip the breaker. Since the head lights...

    Lights shutting off if I keep either highbeams or bright dash on

    Any switch to test with other than yours. You can simply unscrew the harness from the back and screw it into a test switch, doesn't need to be mounted to test.

    Is this an original exhaust?

    Awesome. Now I'm on it! It probably would not have come on mine since it is the m998 version and that is the M1097 version. That one is also shorter than the original picture I posted which could still be a custom one or another application. THANKS for the picture. Anyone near...

    Is this an original exhaust?

    I'd like to see a picture of one on an Avenger because that is what I own and I think I have looked at every Avenger picture on the internet and have never seen that exhaust on one. If I could find a picture on an Avenger, I would definitely have it one mine.

    HMMWV 4L80E Reman Transmission

    I don't doubt you but I made a jig and mounted it and my engine didn't move 1/4" and the bracket did nothing at all. I ended up removing it and didn't have any issues at all. Just my personal experience, I have only ever worked on my truck.

    HMMWV 4L80E Reman Transmission

    You don't need to support the engine. I made a bracket to support the engine and didn't need it at all. Pull the transmission and transfer as a unit. Overall it isn't a difficult job, just take your time. I did a TH400 to 4L80 swap in mine ... here is where the write up starts...

    Is this an original exhaust?

    I did notice all that and that's why I'm wondering if anyone has seen one OEM. It's like the rear doors I posted about thinking they were custom however it turned out they were not. I like the look and the concept of this exhaust and now I need to find one at a reasonable price to cut up...

    Is this an original exhaust?

    Thanks, I know what the original looks like and that's why I asked about the one in the picture. There are so many variations of parts on these trucks, I'm trying to figure out if this is a rare original or something else. That is not my truck but I like the idea of the shorter stack type exhaust.
