I Work on these trucks everyday, there is nothing mysterious about the TCM in these Hmmwv’s, there are hundreds of thousands in use in the military and millions of the same TCM’s still in use world wide. Diagnostic tools? A paper clip is Pretty easy to find….and any “good” transmission shop...

Chicomm crap is all metric…OEM lights won’t fit in the Chicomm buckets, found out the hard way years ago,this goes for anything not OEM…

I believe I have one or two….

The ECV not only requires a new winch plate, the solenoids are on the opposite side of drum….its a pita to install on an ECV.

Y’all getting way to deep into the weeds here, any of the hmmwv TCM’s work on any of the TCM equipped trucks, when they retired out the old version and PCS filled the void, it’s a throw away part, no EPROM changes to change the shift points, that’s it…shift point changes were done because of the...

well, if that’s the case, I’d have purchased a 3spd truck as it’s mostly all mechanical, the A2’s on up need a higher level of maint depending on model and component failure, that equals parts availability. My EU customers prefer the older 3 speed trucks

find someone who has a known working TCM and swap it in, you very well haven’t fixed everything wrong in the unit you just repaired.

police only care that you have 2 things when you drive a vehicle, insurance and current tags, are there D*ck cops? Yea…but it’s more an exception to a rule . Don’t drive like an idiot and do stupid crap and there is no reason for an officer to pull you over. Also, don’t use them as daily...

Oregon titles Hmmwv’s for road use…they passed a law years ago. Dont let the parade use BS bother you…ive driven my historical plated trucks for 40yrs with no issues…

Trans lamp on while engine running is the TCM not seeing the engine running, replace the CPS, if that doesn’t do it? The TCM is bad. just had both these issues on separate trucks in the shop.

the 200amp bracket would need mods, you typically can convert from 400 to a 200amp easily, not the other way around. the front and rear mounting ears are the issue…there is a 3/4in difference, you need to trim off 3/4in of the rear mount where the the lomg bolt mounts through.

Based on the NSN, it’s a 6.2 injector…..for the 4523 pump.

The turbo trucks don’t need the old style bracket in the fender, there is a reinforcement plate installed on the inner fender…still required to have the rubber isolators, but that’s it.
