    4L80e Code: 22 - Throttle Position Sensor low voltage

    The Trans light comes on when power is turned on, but turns out after a few seconds. No flashing/illumination beyond that, until it's put into the code read mode, then only Code 22. Its shifting through the gears albeit roughly as @NDT pointed out, as if I were driving at full throttle. Thus...

    4L80e Code: 22 - Throttle Position Sensor low voltage

    Code 22 Throttle Position (TP) Sensor circuit low is the only one showing. Thanks for pointing out that the light might not illuminate, didn't consider that.

    4L80e Code: 22 - Throttle Position Sensor low voltage

    Took out the HMMWV for the 4th of July and all systems seemed fine, but it hung 1st gear until much higher in the RPMs (20+ mph 1-2 shift at mild throttle) and was a pretty rough shift when it finally did shift. Seemed to run through the gears, but all seemed late/rough, not stuck in 2nd/Limp...

    Am I getting a good deal?

    I have serial number 183XXX M1123, she took some sorting out when I got her, but I put 2,000 miles on her last year with no hiccups. This era/model may be missing some of the nicer features- rear fender AC, the hard top, turbocharger, winch, etc. but they’re light weight, simple, easy to wrench...

    Softer Springs

    While not their intended use, would some 17” limiting straps attached to the stock shock mounting points do the trick? Seems like it would be some margin of safety keeping the spring in place while also keeping the entire assembly from overextending for the rare chance that one reaches full...

    Softer Springs

    Is this a real risk? Obviously an instantaneous release of immense pressure is potentially deadly, but is it likely? I thought jeep guys ran setups like that, too.

    NOOB. Looking for a little help joining the gang.

    I’m in Illinois where the HMMWV is verboten per the Lord of the Tumblers. I didn’t even bother with the DMV here and went with Dirt Legal to get it tagged/titled in Utah. This was several years ago at this point. It wasn’t cheap, but it was easy, I have a street legal title, despite still not...

    Details? I’d love something louder, but I’m not going to be that guy with a Train Horn.

    Troop Carrier Wood Slats M998

    I don’t run the seat bottoms, but I do have the sides. My plan for the winter is to replace the wood slats with E-Track to secure taller loads.

    Humvee m998 differential output shaft play

    Old thread, but related- My M1123 front differential INPUT s seems to have a good amount of play, about 1/2-3/4” of rotation before hitting resistance (wheels on ground, parking break set). This can make a “clunk” sound occasionally, but it’s small and hard to notice. This is a new one for me...

    Newer style blue body mount isolators

    The old ones did, supposedly the new ones are good to go, from what I’ve read. I can’t confirm personally, though.

    Softer Springs

    Would it be reasonable to run it all the time or are you glad you put on the Cepek’s? I did some scrounging earlier and it looks like a mid 2000s Pathfinder shocks would work, but require the stud to be threaded and mated to an eyehole converter. That or some shocks from a late ‘90s Chevy 1500...

    Softer Springs

    @LouWon - Are you still running it without shocks? How does it handle at speed/corners? Do potholes/uneven roads really upset it? I'm running a softtop/doors (usually off) M1123 (non-MAK) and 95% of my driving is under 45mph. I would LOVE to soften the ride up a LOT for the sake of the...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I run the same setup. Aside from having to turn down the squelch when the doors are off, it works great and we can all communicate comfortably, even at speed.

    What are these called??

    Sometimes referred to as Dzus fasteners.
