Good day,
I'm new to the scene, and like any noob I come with baggage.
Specifically I need a TCM and relay for my new HMMWV (pics below).
I've done some googling, and it seems I'm about to part ways with roughly $600. But before doing so I have a couple potentially stupid questions....
Inside the green box that is the TCM, is that just a standard 4l80e control module? Because those can be had at a junkyard for next to nothing.
Could a guy get his hands on the cannon plug that adapts the chassis harness to the tcm inside the green box? And if so has anyone done this in the past?
Does anyone have a parts diagram for the tcm? I can't find it in the tm's.
Is all of this just a stupid rabbit hole? Would it be better to just spend the $500 or so on a tcm?
It's just a little unsettling to me that none of the surplus miltary parts are guaranteed, or even returnable. This is the first of many problems that I'm sure I'll have to tackle. And I'd like to do it as smart as possible.
Thanks in advance for any help guys.
Matt
