I am replacing mine also but haven't done it yet. As I understand the process, the knobs do not come off. You have to disconnect the other end of the cable and pull it through the engine bay, firewall, dash and data plate. Then replace the plate and put the cables back in place. Some day...
The TCM is basically a standard GM part but mounted in rugged case with military connectors. They had different TCM's for different years and there were a couple different model years for the 4L80. Do you want to retain the stock HMMWV setup? There are many stand alone aftermarket TCM's that...
It has its pros and cons but looking at all the little stuff and a few big things, I wouldn't bid over 10K. Considering the other costs involved after you win the bid and then all the other stuff (depending on how you want to drive it), probably adds another 10K. I couldn't see being into it...
Pictures would be very helpful when asking questions like these however I think I found a picture you posted previously and it looks like an Air Lift Bumper and Rhino tire carrier. So this begs the question if you have the hitch extension as well and if you are using the civilian hitch adapter...
It was, I saw it. I'm surprised. The website still has it .... until they read this I guess. When I bought mine from them it was $105 and I sent an offer and got it for $90. Nobody wanted them at the time I guess.
Sad part is you can buy it new for $181 here ...
I don't think it is a requirement because it doesn't attach to the bumper itself. From a manual or military aspect it might but I think it would only need a simple bracket made to bolt to. #6 is the bumper mounting bracket the winch attaches to, real easy to make something..
Same suggestion...

The truck ran great all year. No leaks, no issues and starts right up. We have some snow coming (not much) and that signals to me it's time to put the truck in the garage for the winter. Not that it can't take the winter but so I can keep working on it and moving the project forward.
My...

Having replaced mine I will tell you it is no easy task. And if you are going to do it "original", you'll need 16 of these https://real4wd.com/product/grommet-nonmetallic-heater-duct-1-4-x-5-8/ but I'd recommend buying at least 20 because you'll probably...
I rewired my light switch today. Part of the job was moving a copper contact that I am no longer using to a place where I needed a new contact. Part of the dimmer switch (post L on the diagram) is no longer used so I removed it. I had to fill the hole so the rotating contact does get stuck...
Give me a few minutes and I'll find where I bought mine. They are cheap enough that I would just replace them with the exact part but yes, you could use any method you want.
It seems when it comes to HMMWV's you can never have enough projects. I bought some more inoperable turret joysticks to see if I can get one working. It starts with disassembly and inspection. There are 2 basic parts, a sensor and a magnet. The common cause of issues seems to be water in the...
I think it will come down to money however in your original post you said to assume you have a 6.5TD and 4L80. How fast are you trying to travel on the highway? I have 6.5 NA with a 4L80 with 2.73 differential. I can do 65 mph on the highway and wouldn't want to go any faster. In my opinion...
