    M1167 A/C trouble shooting

    Thanks for the info Steve! I bypassed the Temp Switch on the side of the front evap unit. It fired up the whole system! Started blowing cold air out of the rear evap unit. The front was only blowing ambient(85). I freed up the hot water valve there by the air filter canister but no change to...

    2009 ECV M1165A1 Self-driving back to stock HELP.

    You are gonna need a wiring diagram. Those metal tags are the key to the whole mess. Since all the wires are black. They act like the color coded wiring in civilian vehicles. There are metal tags on each end of the wires but you NEED the diagram that covers that series of trucks. Lighting work...

    Anyone ever open and repair a TCM?

    I assume you mean a spare TCM (mounted in the big box) If so, open your unit and get the part number off it so you get the correct one

    Cranks but doesn't start (pics attached)

    You seem to be going in the right direction. You have clean fuel pumping out of the new filter housing. It tried to fire... I had this happen twice and out of frustration the first time I removed the fuel supply line AT the injection pump and cranked till fuel came out. It fired up instantly. I...

    Anyone ever open and repair a TCM?

    That unit is toast. The whole box is just a "waterproof" faraday cage for a stock GM TCM. I believe there are multiple part number TCMs that need to match your particular year(?) of transmission.

    Arrival of 2nd HMMWV M1151A1

    I was going to say it might have been a fire sensor(?) for an automatic fire suppression system but Retiredwarhorses would be the expert.

    3 Speed Transmission Temp Gauge

    In the pan. That measures the temp of the fluid entering the transmission which is all that matters. The internal seals need to stay below 265 degrees or they harden and leak pressure and cause the clutches to slip and burn out. Per my GM tech school transmission class. Also minimizes points...

    Upper vs lower driver's mirror

    Here are the basic arm position measurements. Get the main C frames here at the detent then you can adjust the clamps, pitch, and twist to taste. Having the drivers side in the low position eliminates the huge blindspot turning left.

    Tranny dip stick and Xfr case size

    Pretty much good advice above. From the look of the fluid on the stick I recommend doing a fluid and filter change. The Transfer case uses the same fluid, Dexron (III or VI) ATF, as the transmission and power steering system. 4 speed transmission fluid capacity is 5 qts after filter change. The...

    HMMWV at local auction, this will be interesting!

    Are they Adding that "cash for clunkers" additive (Sodium Silicate) that destroys the engine as part of the demil now?

    Spray paint for Camo MC Humvee

    My 2 cents...Absolutely the CARC substitute green and brown. The black on the other hand has never matched for me. For the flat black I use the rustoleum Camo ultra flat black. It dries a more uniform flat without shinier spots here and there

    stencils

    Got these off ebay. Pay by the character. Nearly identical Markings on the hood are original

    Alternator Issue

    Came here to agree with CAMO... disconnecting the battery of a running vehicle is not a test for anything. It can complicate a diagnosis by randomly frying something new.

    HMMWV 2 Man M998 cargo cover question. Anyone ever do a chop top on the cargo?

    I just held it flush with the top of the cab and scribed and cut to the line. Did all the bow cutting free hand eyeball because all the bows i used were bent ones. because of their compound shape and easily bent tubing you got to hand fit each one
