    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Taking what you say into account, Why not just supply solid 12v signal. It will unlock when not in 4th. It would be the easiest and cleanest wiring option also.

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Update on the swap. The trans had to come back out and be re-rebuilt. I drove the HMMWV less than 100 miles. Reverse started slipping. Felt literally like a badly slipping manual clutch. When you selected reverse it would barely make a shifting noise and barely move. I talked to Bowtie initially...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    If someone else posted I apologize. I put it in what did you do to your Hmmwv thread because it seems like it's a fun/general thread, and the video didn't seem important enough to make its own thread.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Toward the end of video, they find a half shaft with bolts snapped off. Would they have been able to put the transfer case in High lock or Low lock and be able to drive with rear or basically 2wd?

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    I bought that exact part when I was thinking I would go the 6l80 route. Do you remember the rod size/thread pitch? What are the parts called the rod screws into?

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Looking at the the shifter linkage. Stock was a rod bent in the shape of a U. Does anyone have a picture handy of what we know works? I'll make new from threaded rod I guess. Looks like it needs to be longer. Any suggestions would be great. Mogman, I'm going to attempt drawing a schematic and...

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Bowtie did not supply a pig tail. I ordered one and they sent a wiring diagram for the trans But I really don't understand it. I plan on calling them Monday for a clarification unless someone could tell me what to wire to where. I also ordered a 24 to 12 V step down converter good for 40 amps...

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Update: the 700R4 is installed but not yet complete. The shop I used did most of the work. I need to finish shifter linkage, and run 12v signal to trans for brake switch. I did drive it about 50 miles on the interstate manually shifting. My recorded top speed was 75mph. It will run 70mph but...

    Ebay Rock Sliders

    I put them on mine if it is the same. They are too short to sit flat on underside of body. Not good for anything that way. The bolts will be supporting all weight. I cut to allow good contact with rail and body.

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    I ran into the same problem with armada springs. They were too long. I could have compressed but figured I would have ran into the same outcome as you. When you added the extensions you effectively eliminated the suspension travel limiter causing the axles and ball joints to do that work. No one...

    Anyone install the Self Cancelling Turn Signal Switch kit on a M998?

    I bought the switch from ebay and the ring from kascar. Went on just as action says. My switch was NOS but doesn't work properly. The reset lever has to be cycled two times for cancelation of left turn. Only one cycle for right turn. I didn't install until after my return window was expired...
