Yeah this was more experimental for me. I have a block heater cable installed, but no reason to run the cord out when we typically have low temps in the 20’s and 30’s.

I have been recording some cold start videos and posting them on the Steel Soldiers YouTube channel. My coldest yet was this morning - a balmy -1°. It started quickly with no significant smoke or bucking. Just goes to show how well the glow plug system works when in good order. What’s the...

I got the rear seat mount kits from Midwest. They may be able to provide drawings. I got the tire carrier on FB Marketplace. The doors are from Chris at South Georgia Corvette parts. The doors are fiberglass produced from a mold of an original door. The hardware is aftermarket and is decent...

I’m glad you found us. Your dad was a fixture around here for many years. He loved his big green iron and was always happy to impart his wisdom on new members. We still miss him an awful lot 😔

Sorry it has been so long since I updated this post. I got everything done and the truck on the road, but didn’t get all of the pics and info posted. I’m going to try to go back and do it from memory. After installing the soft top, I had to add a few things to make it road legal in WV. First, I...

I hate when people post these threads asking for help and then don’t share about the resolution of the issue. I realized this morning that I was one of those people. Sorry 😂 I ended up borrowing a TCM from Mogman. It allowed my truck to run through all 4 gears, but the shift points were a...

I checked continuity and resistance at the D3/D4 and it’s definitely in spec. Hate the thought of buying another TCM, but I can’t think of any other possibilities.

Okay thanks. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something else. I will pull the cover off of the TCM box and see if the resistance matches what I’m seeing at the TISS. I think it was around 1350 and it’s supposed to be between 1000-2000. I did clean the trans connector thoroughly with...

Was just reading in the TM and it described how the fan cutoff switch and the TP sensor are used to tell the transmission when to kick down. My fan has been acting a little erratically and when I looked at the fan time delay module the other day, it looked like there was some green silicone like...

Tried that a couple of days ago. No change unfortunately

Canon plug looks good. Only corrosion was on the test socket on the TCM box because soldier B left the cap off. The inside of the TCM is clean and dry.

As I mentioned in my post, I already followed the troubleshooting guide for code 74 by checking resistance across the TISS and checking for continuity of the TISS wires. I don’t have a Tech 2, so haven’t tried jacking the truck up and increasing the speed to 10mph.

Hey guys, Sorry I haven’t updated my M1152A1 build thread in a while. Got busy with some family activities this summer and slacked off. I will update it soon! That said, I have been driving my HMMWV to work and around town some. The transmission seemed to be working pretty well after I worked...

Thank you, sir!

Finally finished the soft top install this evening, and It was just as big of a PITA as you might imagine! I will NOT be removing it anytime soon LOL. My hands will probably hurt for two or three days after all of the grabbing and stretching trying to get it locked into place. Oh well, it’s done!
