Anyone know what the electronic relay for the TCM is rated for in Amps??
I was going to add another circuit or two.
Because it's electronic I assumed it may not be rated very high.
If the TCM were to be completely disconnected, ie remove all three connectors at the transmission, ie not just lose power but also physically disconnect the connectors.......would it still be able to operate in limp mode??
Tex here is something I did recently. I used Victron as the charger (big in the RV world). Noco is nice as well but I liked the fact the Victron was completely waterproof and also had a bluetooth function when it is plugged in to monitor.
Noco makes a nice bulkhead thru-plug that allows you...
I've tried oiling/greasing the bearing/clutch but can't make it go quiet.
If everyone says this noise is normal than so be it but it makes me anxious everytime as I associate this with a bad bearing or something borken.
I was able to switch out the line and it was perfect. No more leak and...
My question ...... can a switch be placed that can control this?? Where and how would you splice in the 24V to disengage the solenoid/fan?
The fan engages via the cadillac solenoid when it does NOT get 24V ....... by default if there is a fault/failure in sensor, the lack of 24V engages the...
I repurposed an AC compressor on a land rover that went to a tank. Was easy to set up but no AC. You had to oil it every once in a while too.
As others pointed out, was faster than most air compressors but still underpowered for impact wrenches. I've also had the oasis compressors (similar...
Steven I think that's true if you only disconnect the low battery ground. If you disconnect BOTH high and low battery ground it all goes dead.
I can say that was true for me when the battery interconnect was still connected, ie cable between high and low battery. As soon as I added that to...
Steven what are your thoughts on the noise? Just lubricate at interface?
Is it possible it’s too tight or too loose?
Don’t understand how that goes together as the TMs I’m looking at show simple single but and key.
Yes. And had I know what I know now I would have had you do it lol!
I’m happy overall right now but lots of things done poorly and have been slowly going through it. In the end paying for it again. For anyone reading this getting it done right.
Wow. Thanks for picking up on that. I'm going through the truck bits at a time. Didn't pick up on that and it explains a leak I noticed coming from connection at fan shroud.
Has anyone used AN connectors at these locations? Or is worm gear clamp adequate??
It shuts down the TCM (aftermarket US Shift) which does throw it in limp mode.
I thought throwing the disconnect would shut off the fuel solenoid and thereby shut down the engine. But the generator must keep the solenoid alive.
I'm posting link to video.
HMMWV Generator Pulley Noise
On start up no noise. Generator pulley spins and generator charges batteries fine.
On shutdown it makes noise and inner part of pulley/nut free spins for a few seconds and then stops.
This can't be normal?!?! How do I fix this??
