It has been an amazing upgrade for me. I did however do the turbo upgrade offered by B&S. Adds another 100hp ish. I still have trouble on hills on the freeway with passengers, but it’s way better. I also have 40” tires. If I went down to smaller tire, I’m sure it would help
dang I tried brazing alloy from a local welding supply and no go… I hooked up the alternator after my quick fix and it’s not charging. I think I just got it too hot😢😩. I should have waited for more advice… $800 mistake. Ugh
I don't have machining equipment unfortunately. It's not magnetic, so I'm assuming it's cast aluminum? I wouldn't mind purchasing some steel for you to do some magic!
I forgot to put the spacer in and broke the housing. Can it be welded? If not does anybody know where I could get a new case because the alternator is good still. TIA!
Advanced adapters are AMAZING and very helpful. Call them to order so you get the exact kit. I am having a hard time finding the TV cable bracket(Monster transmission are idiots and sent the wrong one and will not call me back). I took it in to a transmission shop to do that part b/c it is the...
I've done some searching in the past and haven't found anything. Did some searching just now too and cant locate a bracket of that type. Any link or direction to look woulb be really appreciated. TIA
This is a great writup. I used what you said and this was super easy. No need to buy new shafts if they are t making noise IMO. My rig has low miles, but 30 years of rubber sitting causes the boots to break and start throwing grease. I am super diligent about maintenance so lucked out to see...
I see 5 wires that exit the shifter. I am changing it for a 3L 80 shifter because I’m doing a 700R4 conversion. Three of the five wires fit perfect and match up to number stamps, but the other two I’m not sure what they go to. Can anybody help with this? Thank you!
Oh cool. I guess you used the old shifter? I say that Bc there are 5 wires off the new HMMWV shifter that came with the 4L80E transmission in the M998. 3 are the same. Wondered if it was reverse lights. That would be awesome bc I have a separate switch for that
Omg I feel so dumb!!! Thanks so much. I was confused bc they sent a transmission mount with the transmission that is not necessary! Ha! Happy I don’t have to deal with that. Do the 2 extra wires coming off the 4L80 shifter hook directly to the 2 wires out of the transmission? Does it matter which?
