    2010 6.5 4l80 gets to 50 no overdrive and no trans light

    Another member gave me advice via PM and he mistyped the number. Definitely learning a lot about this truck pretty quickly. My civilian 6.5's have been pretty reliable. The most common problem was the injection pump (PMD) computer needing to be moved due to heat. I should have many of the...

    2010 6.5 4l80 gets to 50 no overdrive and no trans light

    Newb ok, I have had an account on this site dating back to the early-mid 2000s. Seems like someone has Internet courage. The type they lack in real life. If you don't have interest in helping people then don't post. I am not going to bow down to anyone for a little guidance Back to the...

    2010 6.5 4l80 gets to 50 no overdrive and no trans light

    Is normal operation for the trans light to stay on. This is my first Humvee. I'm using group 65 batteries. The factory leads were not long enough and once I installed those properly I got the transmission light. It still doesn't shift into overdrive as I believe it should. The transmission...

    roof mounted cab AC

    I trust that Shark Bait is being honest when he says that he installed a roof top unit that will freeze the cab. I would not install a window unit but I am leaning towards a roof top unit. Most rooftop units are around 13,500 BTU and they will produce way more then enough cooling. I have a...
