    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    You either need the complete switch "kit" that has the switch and bracket (5 in the picture) you already have and a Rod (8) and Clip (9) you need. In addition to the kit you also need a relocation bracket (10). The kit is expensive and all you really need is the rod and clip...

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    That looks like a really good start. Later style transmission, has both shift linkage's, dipstick tube and probably the dipstick, trans fluid lines intact, muffler bracket, mechanical speedometer drive, both sensors and still has the wiring connector to protect the plug. Looks clean, no tell...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    I've never seen a matching male and female connector where the pins didn't match each other when connected together. The wiring diagram with one set of pins listed represents that. In other words, both sets of pins are expected to match the wiring diagram or they wouldn't have drawn it that...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    So I wrote the above sentence after I took the pictures and figure it all out. I forgot the solder side IS labeled as well. The switch connector isn't assembled wrong.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Actually I made certain I was not buying a china crap switch. This is a legit military manufacturer.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    I took the switch apart the rest of the way so I could make sure it matched the schematic above. When I first started to check the wiring of the pins to the switch I kept getting lost quickly because I would chase a wire from the pin to the switch and it wouldn't go where I expected it to. I'd...

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    I bought a 4L80 and a 242 low mileage take out for $1200 with TQ converter. A transmission crossmember $75, new factory 4 speed shifter $450, shifter rods $50, new rear drive shaft $120, front drive shaft and rebuild it $150, rear yoke $25, speedo $100. I used the Quick Shift 4 and couldn't...

    Tachometer Wire Connector

    You should use a twisted pair for the wiring. I have some of those connectors, pins, wire and the crimper to do the job if you don't get anywhere.

    HMMWV Side Marker Blinker System!

    Are they clearly marked Left and Right? :LOL:

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    I bought the switch a couple of weeks ago and then had to figure out how to get it apart. Not knowing how it was put together and what to expect, I wanted to be careful with the disassembly so as to not damage it. Of course I tried to pull it apart by hand after I removed the silicone seal on...

    EZ-TCU controller for 4L80e

    You probably noticed this but just in case, the posts you are replying to are about 4 years old.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    I haven't been working on the truck much but I have been enjoying it. In another thread (by Mogman) there was some discussion on how the stop lights work and a way to rewire them to add a little safety. I liked the idea and looked for a different way to implement the same basic changes. I...

    Light switch mod for safety

    Light switch mod for safety

    I've been in it since early on, I make up about 1/3 of the posts at this point LOL. I don't get the negative comments. I think it is quite simple, if you don't like it, don't do it but why crap on others if they want to do it to their truck? Why does anyone care about how my brake lights...

    Light switch mod for safety

    LOL, partially. In my case, I seem to forget about the lights until I go to use my directional the first time and it doesn't work. Then I turn them on. I'd say that is about 1/3 of the time. The bad part is I didn't have brake lights until I turned them on. I don't want to get rear ended...

    3 Speed Shifter to 4 Speed Shifter- Modifications

    There are certainly some that are capitalizing on the demand for some parts. To the shifter itself, it is still available directly from AM General in costs about $600, new from the manufacture (See pic below). Depends what you want for your truck. The new one has the correct gate obviously as...

    Light switch mod for safety

    Since you asked and made me think about it more, I came up with another version that would retain the BO Driving light in the front. It would also allow the brake lights be shut off for BO driving but would allow the regular brake lights to function when the switch is in the off position. It...

    Light switch mod for safety

    Wow, looks like a military vehicle, complete with well thought out features for use as such.

    Light switch mod for safety

    Don't like it, don't read it. It's really that simple. My steering wheel lock would probably send you over the edge. LOL
