I'm no expert on EESS boxes and have never taken one apart but I do have and electronics background and based on the picture it looks like the circuit board has some burnt area on it. I can't really tell due to the resolution of the picture but maybe you can. It may just be the etch behind...

I have a EESS box that worked fine but I upgraded to the Smart Start. It has the correct temp sensor and I believe it is the latest model EESS before going to the Smart Start box. I was going to keep it for a spare but I would part with it if someone needed it for a lot less than the Smart...

Thanks for the reply, I actually opened it up to see what's in it and realized the plug at number 3 is a female version of number 2. So at the very least I would need to get a different connector for that and yes rewire the connections. The cable (number 1) would power other radios and I...

I'm trying to use this as a master power switch to my Vic 3 lite. I have the power cable that would plug into either number 2 or 3 in the picture (assuming number 3). Number 2 (J1 to Battery) I assume that is what the battery connects to? One concern is J2 (number 3) says Pin C is +28v...

Yes you can. If you want to replace both side of the connection then it would be very difficult to get to the part on the clutch. I prefer to replace both sides when dealing with any leaking connections. However it could very well just be the one side. ...I assumed he meant replacing both sides.

I know on mine it would be very difficult to replace that fitting without removing the radiator. I think you will need to remove the radiator stack and the shroud will come with it. The fan doesn't need to be removed and you will be able to change the connectors and reassemble. I happen to...

Besides mounting the TCU I also worked on the rear view camera display mount today. After playing with a number of ideas I decided to mount the display on the inside of the visor. This isn't just a rear view camera though. It is intended to mount over a regular rear view mirror in a car and...

Mounted the TCU behind the dash today. Used some good double sided tape. Next I have to make a Data plate type cover that will cover the old hole and and leave just the display showing. For now it serves its purpose.

This isn't an ad for the QuickShift 4, it's just my personal experience using the product 1 time. I ordered it from their website and it asked me questions about my application. First what the transmission is and of course I went with 4L80 then it had specific questions about the year as...

On the drive home I was able to cruise at about 60 mph and that is a HUGE improvement. I am very happy with the TCU I picked, the US Shift QuickShift 4. It came pre-programmed for my application and though I might give it a few tweaks it is good to go as delivered. The cost was less than $700...

I drove it home from the shop where I did the transmission swap and I will say it is quieter in the cab. As Action said, it is quieter due to the lower RPM of the engine.

Very nice, if I were going Duramax that would be a great option. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info but I am not really concerned about the overall accuracy of the speedometer but I suspect it will be pretty close. More important to me is the look of originality even though it isn't original it will appear to belong more than a GPS digital readout style.

Actually I have a 80 mph electric HMMWV speedometer to install. I already put in the sending unit and the wiring while doing the transmission swap. I have to fix the bezel then paint it before I install it. That said, the rear view camera I am installing also has a GPS/dash cam etc., built...

Test Drive Done! The test drive was just around the shop lot. We got about 3-4" of snow last night and all the roads are wet and salt covered. I have no intention of driving on salt water covered roads so we kept it in the lot. It did shift through 3 gears and reverse and no issues at all...

I have not driven it yet but I doubt that it will help much if any with noise. I don't think it is much of a performance upgrade as it is a usability upgrade. The 3 speed is practically useless except for around town at less than 45 mph. With the 4 speed it will allow me to be able to drive...

Day 5 Transmission swap, I ordered a fuel tank shield after I found out the new fuel tank had mounts for it. It showed up yesterday so that got mounted first thing today. Installed the starter and front drive shaft then moved on to the Y pipe. The prior owner had replaced the Y pipe and I...

Day 4 Transmission Swap, finished the install of the TCU and set the TPS sensor. As mentioned above I mounted the TCU in the dash so the display and function knob are visible and accessible. I moved the Air Filter gauge to under the hood next to the air filter, pictures below. I could have...

Day 3 Transmission Swap, spent the whole day doing detail work and installing the transmission controller (TCU). First I needed to install a TPS and move the fan switch. I chose to use a Hummer H1 style TPS for ease of mounting. Also used a fan switch relocation bracket and extended the...

After the tank install and some prep work on the transmission it is was time to install it. Much tighter as I mentioned above. Had to tilt it and put the tail of the transmission up in between the tank and muffler and feed the tail in as we raised the bell housing end. Worked good and then we...
