    Power Steering woes M1123

    Any time I see Teflon tape I always worry, that is for water pipe, any hydraulic system that actually needs thread sealer should get a thread sealer not tape. And as you found out nowhere on a steering system should Teflon tape be found. Teflon tape can wreak havoc on a hydraulic system as it...

    Tight tail light buckets

    Unless you bought it from one of the dependable sellers like HPG or Kascar it is likely Chicom.

    Alternator 28 Volts 60 Ampere

    Wire #3 and 93 are always a ground, so no it should not have "voltage" does not matter if it is an A, B, C etc.

    4L80E error code 73 - trans light always on

    Although I am not sure why they are on the right side of the doghouse.

    4L80E error code 73 - trans light always on

    No, those wires go to the RPM sensor on the back of the engine, they are only used for diag and possibly a tachometer if so equipped.

    Blue Body spacers degrading and crumbling

    How did that work out? there are three different sets of part numbers for the mounts, at least on the earlier trucks., two sets for the later trucks and only one set of numbers for ser# 300K and up, I can't remember what the differences were but I do remember they had obvious differences on my M998

    M998 Power Steering Fluid Reservoir Types

    That is the pressure/flow control valve I was speaking of, using the original one is a good idea, there is also an aftermarket "kit" that allows adjustment of the pressure with shims.

    M998 Power Steering Fluid Reservoir Types

    Yours is much cheaper to replace the pump itself, swapping in your original reservoir, that pump was used on just about every GM vehicle from the mid 80s to the late 2000s at least, it is the metric version. I compared pressure/flow on a Cordone replacement (set up with the max pressure/flow...

    Has anyone taken their HMMWV through White Rim Road in Moab?

    Looks like fun!!

    My first time with x-doors. Any specific advice or improvements?

    The camo pattern is standardized pattern. Most likely those doors did not come with that truck originally, in fact I don't think any HMMWVs came standard with a helmet top, I believe all were field modified. I too think the X doors are rather flimsy, I had them on my first HMMWV, a helmet top :)...

    Window fairings for camper/hard tops?

    That is called a helmet top probably made by Amtech That would have been a rain gutter but they did not come "standard" with them, it looks like someone added them but I have no idea if it would be an Amtech product or not. If you want rain gutters you can have a metal shop break them out of...

    Not that I know of, why I said to follow the traces.

    4L80E error code 73 - trans light always on

    I did not see, you have the correct reading (ohms) at the associated pins (C15-D16) around 3-5 ohms at the PCS, yes?

    4L80E error code 73 - trans light always on

    Then it is definitely coming from the TCM, as I said as long as you have a 73 code that light should be on, since you are doing board level repair I would lok at any electrolytic or tantalum capacitors on the board, I would try to follow the circuit board traces going to the pins associated with...

    48" inch Hi Jack Lift

    Maintenance is also very important, keep the mechanism clean and oiled. I strongly hesitate telling anyone how to use one because they can be very deadly and I like sleeping well at night, but I also would not recommend using the tie down rings
