    US Shift Quick 2 and 4 installation

    I’ve got a Quick 2, used the 12v from battery and the relay setup from a 4 speed truck. Using the software I can modify the tune as much as needed. I used the harness that US Shift provides and made my own wiring to the TPS. Very easy and a good controller option…. Unless you NEED to save more...

    HMMWV Blue Force Tracker Setup

    Well said. The issue with the “other forums” is that they don’t get the traffic this one does. Keeping related (and this is HMMWV related) posts together allows for more people to see. Maybe they can help or maybe whats happening here helps someone else. But either way, like many others, I’ll...

    HMMWV Blue Force Tracker Setup

    I haven’t got to Putty yet, but caught the touch screen driver being loaded on an original drive (and it works when Redhat running X-Windows fully boots). The driver referenced is likely the same one as the MRT tablets, the TSHARC driver from Microchip. I can’t seem to make it work(I tried...

    HMMWV Blue Force Tracker Setup

    I’ll try that this week. I’ve got several displays so odds are at least one works! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    HMMWV Blue Force Tracker Setup

    I’m late to the party but also working BFT and MRT tablet OS and usability. I found a pinout of the fat BFT drive tray and made an adapter to hook up a SATA SSD instead of buying a tray. Stripped down Windows 10 works ok, Ubuntu works better but AntiX Linux is best so far. Still no touch screen...

    Any recommendations for a place to get the mil spec vehicle wire?

    I get the part numbers for the “Prestolite” from Erik’s and hit the bay. Federal Military parts has 14AWG 100’ on the bay and Amazon, I’ve got 12AWG by the spool on the bay, but can’t find anything but spools of 16AWG anywhere. I only use Prestolite for any of the projects I do, it’s a little...

    Helmet top install

    You’ll need to remove the soft top channel from the windshield and the C pillar. Installation instructions, for the Amtech tops, is the whole way at the bottom of the page here: https://www.mcclarincomposites.com/military-products/hmmwv/legacy-4-door.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ibistek bumper missing parts

    I’m stuck…. Can’t find the right hinges or latches for the storage doors to complete my Ibistek bumper. Has anyone replaced them or had to find either of these??? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is this an original exhaust?

    I’m planning to cut one down if I don’t find one for the ambulance, just so it clears the doors on my helmet top. I see them occasionally but of course not when I’m looking to actually get one… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Putting together a 80mph speedo kit.

    Yup! I removed the grommet from the old cable by cutting a slice in it and put it on the new harness. I followed the speedo cable for install and grounded to the transfer case by changing the ground lug to a slightly larger size and using a bolt on it. When I put that together it was raining so...

    Putting together a 80mph speedo kit.

    Here’s some notes I made after doing mine (and my own built harness). Cable numbers and locations are correct, I’m still looking for the “official” instructions as well but it works just fine! You do need splitters, and not normal ones, to get power and light to the gauge. They’re shown in...

    M1123 Gauge Cluster question

    Splitters are for power and lighting for the Speedo and maybe a tach (they split from there too). The “27” circuit splitter goes to the power side of the fuel gauge (remove 27, put in splitter, plug all 27 into splitter). 40 circuit is lighting and connects to either left or right light on dash...

    Blue Force Tracker cabling/pin outs

    I’m looking to “convert” a functional BFT screen to display cameras and was hoping to get a video cable pin out so I can figure a way to get standard VGA in from a Raspberry Pi. I’ll take it apart and start playing, but I was hoping someone had already done some of this already using the...

    80 MPH Speedometer Backlight?

    There is a splitter required for the lighting to work, maybe it’s not installed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    M1152A1 6.5T, 4L80E TCM stays hot to touch after shut down.

    Does the relay click when going to run? Sounds like it’s staying active and providing voltage constantly to the TCM… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who needs a three speed tranny? Do we have a “donations” forum???

    There’s a local jeep group that buys takeouts around me in VA Beach. They offered $350 for my trans/tcase and shafts when I did my 4L80E conversion. Just a thought that someone might want it local. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wiring issues

    The 40 circuit is gauge lighting. It’s probably part of the 80 mph speedo and would plug into a splitter from one of the two dash lights. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
