    HMMWV Alignment Question - well maybe.

    Thanks for all the tips! I went to my normal tire shop and they gave me the name of another shop that aligns HMMWV all the time. They were nice and took me right in. The closely examine the suspension and found the right side, the one that rubs, needs new bushings on the lower and upper control...

    HMMWV Alignment Question - well maybe.

    Another question for the experienced folks here. As I mentioned on my other thread, I recently installed a set of skid pads from Jeremy Johnson. He certainly does great work. I mentioned that when I turn the steering wheel all the way to the right stop, the right outside of the right tire rubs...

    Humvee floor mats

    So I pass the local Tractor Supply and go inside and I see the mats. Those would work well for floor mats. I ask the cashier if they have any that are bigger than 3x4 so I could also put something down in the bed as one piece. She directs me outside where they had some substantial mats that were...

    Which states are not HMMWV friendly?

    I did have another thought on how to appeal to our fantastic governor that won't look like a whiner's complaint. I replaced my TH400 with a 4L80e and I donated the TH400 to a group of vets that restore Humvees locally. They do it as therapy for disabled vets! Their problem is the same - they...

    Ebay Rock Sliders

    I know this is an old thread but I thought I would post my experience with Jeremy's Sliders. I ordered these back in July and he had them ready in about a month. He found very economical shipping and they did fit in my SUV. I waited about 6 months and I am retired now, and since the Florida...

    Odd ball: Any ideas the purpose of this? Driver's side, under dash against tunnel

    I was installing some sound/heat insulation and I got to the driver's side under the dash area and I spotted this thing pictured below. Does not look like something the previous owner installed, but what do I know? It goes inside a tube that just is opened on the other end just out of the...

    Which states are not HMMWV friendly?

    I thought about writing Gov. Desantis a very polite letter about his rouge DMV I experienced when I attempted to register mine that came street legal and registered in another state. Long story, but basically the DMV invalidated my title for me. But then I thought with all the corruption in the...

    Humvee floor mats

    I just started my interior improvement project and just removed all the nasty floor mats and tunnel insulation. A good friend who did this extremely well advised me that he used two layers of Dynamat, one specifically for heat, and another for sound. He then used 3M double sided tape to hold...

    Procedure to remove all the interior "hush" panels?

    I see those that run down the trans tunnel. But the ones one the floor, below the brake and accelerator pedals must be different. I don't see glue or bolts or screws? Maybe I am missing the obvious :(

    Procedure to remove all the interior "hush" panels?

    I tried to do some searching but I am not finding what I need, so I thought I would ask. I may not have the correct name for them, but I want to carefully remove the interior "hush" panels, or whatever they are called. They are green and look like they are made of some kind of foam. For my...

    Which states are not HMMWV friendly?

    The bureaucrats in the DMV have gone rouge here in Florida. Nothing in the FL statues preventing it. The jerks invalidated my title for me!

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    Sucess! Thanks for all the help from the forum members, especially @springer1981 @Mogman @Retiredwarhorses @Mullaney I seem to have two minor problems I found on my short test drive. Seems there is a knocking noise that changes with vehicle speed. I thought it might be something on the front...

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    Looks very muck like the one I just used. The part number @springer1981 kindly provided me was GM TH160 which is now a lot more than when I bought it months ago. I figured out the pinouts based on instructions provided by US Shift.com. The US-Shift.com controller wants .22V minimum to auto...

    Thank you! I have a good soldering iron with a tip that is in bad shape so I used that it you are indeed correct - Easy Peeasy! In case this helps someone in the future, here is what the shaft without the cam, with the pin remaining on the shaft. Problems just melt away with the knowledgeable...

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    I wanted to post another question regarding installing the TPS so I don't make an expensive mistake. I got off the Fan CutOff Switch. There is a black cam for the Fan CutOff switch left on the shaft as shown below. I assume this black plastic cam needs to be removed. Sounds like I need to...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    I am just about at the point of installing the TPS on my 4L80 conversion. I wanted to ask about relocating the Fan Cutoff Switch. Might you have any pictures on where / how you relocated the Fan Cutoff Switch?

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    Notice gap at right arrow, and missing bolt hole on left. The holes on the right side of the picture appear to be ok. I guess if I had good fab skills I could make it fit. But I don't!

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    A minor set back that I can use some advice on please. Looks like the flywheel dust cover for the TH400 is different than the 4L80? Now that I tried to mount the original TH400 dust cover the bolt holes seem to be off and it leaves a gap near the bottom of the 4L80. Aside from rummaging...
