    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    That is the TV cable and needs to be unhooked from the FI Pump/throttle. It and the cable stays with the transmission. That is the manual kickdown cable. Your new one is electronic.

    Why Blue Hummer Spindle Nuts? Hummer H1’s video answer!

    Yes, I am aware of the other washer and the clamp load etc. I'm still planning to use the REV version.

    Why Blue Hummer Spindle Nuts? Hummer H1’s video answer!

    I said EVC but should have said REV... either way, my plan is to use my steering arm cover and open the inside of it to accommodate the nut.

    Why Blue Hummer Spindle Nuts? Hummer H1’s video answer!

    The hardest part about posting on a forum is the lack of voice inflection. The text could be read many ways but the intent can easily be mistaken. In my opinion, it didn't seem like anyone was bent out of shape or had any bad intentions. I think RWH only meant to clarify his post, not attack...

    Why Blue Hummer Spindle Nuts? Hummer H1’s video answer!

    I opted to go with the EVC designed nut but would have been perfectly fine with the original locking tab as well. They give a bit more positive locking than the original tab lock IN MY OPINION. Having used locking tabs in many applications for years, the part I never liked is it relies on just...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I thought you were asking for "thoughts", my mistake. I don't think I am "hard of noticing" but the obvious stuff you pointed out doesn't seem as obvious to me. Was just giving you my "thoughts". "before what?" ... before posting on here or anywhere without even giving the vendor a chance to...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I would have called HPG and asked them first. I'm not an expert on HMMWV glow plugs but here's what I notice. There doesn't seem to be any signs glow plug wires were attached... no scratches or scrapes that likely would occur from the wire. The Hexes don't show signs of use really. The...

    Humvee floor mats

    Yes and no. I wear the Bose noise canceling headset to dampen the noise and to talk to my passenger. After years of mistreating my ears at concerts I have a constant ringing in my ears that is deafening when trying to go to sleep. I would LOVE for my Humvee to be quitter but I also know that...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    The guy mentioned he had 3 Avengers... as it turns out he has another set of data plates and they are now listed on ebay. He probably realized someone might be looking for them after I said I bought it just for the data plate. I am really lucky he threw in the other one as well. I am also...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    As I stated in a previous post about the Avenger data plates, I keep an eye out for Avenger related items. It's a rare occasion that anything comes up. Recently I came across another Avenger part, the hatch (official term unknown by me). I've toyed with the idea of building a mock Avenger...

    Geared hub drain plug removal advice

    This is truly my favorite extractor set. I have used them for many years on so many different stuck, stripped, frozen and broken bolts over the years. The key is to make sure you slide the nut on all the way to the stuck bolt. Congrats on your extraction.

    Humvee floor mats

    Go to Tractor Supply and buy a thick rubber floor mat you find near the front doors. Usually 4' X 3', then cut it up to fit. Just a thought... https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/utility-rubber-mat-black-4-ft-x-3-ft-x--frac12-in

    6.5 Motor replacement cost

    I saw that about a week ago and it was originally listed for $7000. He's gone up $1500 in a week. I bet a good negotiator would get it for $6K.

    Geared hub drain plug removal advice

    This is the answer. I was going to link exactly the same tool. You have to use it right. Drill to the correct size. Then tap the extractor in with a brass hammer. Then slide the hex tool on the extractor. MAKE SURE IT IS SLID ON ALL THE WAY TO THE STUCK DRAIN PLUG. It is extremely...

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    When I did mine it didn't move 1/8" and didn't have any problem and that was after building a custom support for the engine. Bolted the custom support on just in case and never needed to be there.

    Tips on unsticking a fan clutch?

    A simple mistake is a small price to pay versus $350-500 for a new fan clutch. Glad you figured it out!

    Tips on unsticking a fan clutch?

    One, you're pounding on the pulley and it has nothing to due with the fan clutch. STOP beating your pulley. Here are the posts from my stuck fan clutch. If yours is anything like mine.... well, no amount of beating will help...
