    General Hmmwv 4BT / 4L80 Questions

    The Quick 4 is a good choice, it's simple and easy to install. When I did my 4L80 swap I used a 20amp dc to dc converter and it works fine, you don't need 100 amps. I wouldn't use 12v starter in a 24v (28v) system.

    2006 M1152 Speedometer question.

    Here is the part number 5-S2-00080-MPH-24-BA-O-0 but a quick check doesn't show any on ebay. I do have another one that had a couple minor dents on the bezel that I fixed. The bezel would have to be painted either green or black. I don't think it has the terminal screws or the light. You...

    2006 M1152 Speedometer question.

    There are a couple version of this speedometer. In the back you see dip switches that can adjust this one for compatibility. There is also one without dip switches and correct part number that should work with the OEM sending unit. I made a twisted pair signal cable and ran it from the...

    Did all the 4 speed hmmwv come with the 4L80

    A 4L80/85 will default to 2nd gear. It isn't so much a limp mode as a default. I found this out when doing my 4L80 swap and talking to the TCM controller tech support to make sure I was setting it up correctly. It displayed 2nd upon power up and that didn't seem right to me so I called...

    Humvee door latch broke?

    Mine don't work that way. Did you adjust the striker out? Is it front or rear? The strikers are different and have different offsets. Make sure you have the correct ones in the correct places. Also make sure they aren't on backwards and are offset in the correct direction. BTW, I'm...

    POLL Locking Door Handles

    I've seen many different door locks for our HMMWV's and have thought about a kit myself. With the recent thread about them it got me thinking about how people use them, like them, would like them to work, etc.

    Did all the 4 speed hmmwv come with the 4L80

    Not all 4L80's are created equal. There are early and late models and there were running updates. At some point they added a bolt hole for LS engines. Then the 4L85 is an upgrade planetary but still a bolt in for a 4L80. When I was looking for one for my HMMWV I found the 2000ish and up were...

    Would you replace these brake rotors?

    The caliper compression tool is cheap, here's an example https://www.ebay.com/itm/203534090699 If I have use new chinese crap rotors the first thing I do it turn them and make them flat and parallel. Based on past experience I avoid them at all COSTS.

    Would you replace these brake rotors?

    Edit: Actually on second look the piston side pad looks about half gone. I'd just replace the pads of the rotor surfaces are smooth with no significant grooves. Put the brake anti-squeal on the back of all the pads and let dry before installing.

    Would you replace these brake rotors?

    Short of a full brake rotor inspection and disassembly that lip doesn't look like a problem. Most brake rotors wear the same way because the pads don't overhang the rotor and wear the rotor only where they touch. Turning the rotor just insures the rotors are flat and the sides are parallel to...

    Alternator/Generator housing broke. Repair?

    Did you buy that one on epay? I checked and I don't have a large enough piece of stock to make a tab. The tab would go around most of the outside diameter of the alternator and would be bolted on. The tab on the opposite side prevents going completely around. If you need me to make it, I...

    Mine is 30 years old and it scares me, never a drop under it so I'm always worried it's out of oil but it's not.

    MRAP 80mph speedo in HUMVEE

    Another thought, you could try putting 7vdc on the appropriate pins and seeing if the speedo goes through an initial check, usually the needle cycles. You can get 7.5 vdc with 5 AA batteries. If that works and you want to pursue trying to use that speedo then maybe consider buying the GPS and...

    MRAP 80mph speedo in HUMVEE

    I have zero knowledge in MRAP anything but a couple things come to mind. That speedometer is generic in that the company that makes them also makes 100 other speedometers including Harleys, Fedex trucks, boats etc. A quick search on google turned up so interesting things. 1) that same speedo...

    Alternator/Generator housing broke. Repair?

    Looks like a cast metal and depending on quality of the metal will determine if it can be reliably welded. How much time and machinery do you have? If I were in that situation I would machine a ring with a tab that went around the alternator and then screw it to the case. Not a simple or fast...
