    LA M35a2 Commercial Insurance

    Has anyone ever gotten commercial insurance on their truck? From what I understand, it'll be pretty hard considering it doesn't have a 17 digit vin number.

    M35a2 Super Singles Difference & Installation

    Been back using the 9.00R20, I'm not going to lie, I prefer the truck so much with the stock tires. The brakes are so much better, turning is so much better, acceleration is much better, and the truck seems much happier (A lot less black smoke when hammering it and the transmission seems easy to...

    Any Transmission Or Overdrive Swap Recently

    Yea, I've considered the OD Eaton 5 speed, but the one that can fit is very hard to find. I went from 395s back to the 9.00R20. I feel like the 395s put way too much stress on the truck and it really turns the truck from a slow goat to a slow pig, not to mention how awful the brakes are with...

    M35a2 Super Singles Difference & Installation

    Alright guys, I think I will be going back to the NDTs next week. I'll just wire my radio and A/C back up, its not so bad going 45-47 when you're somewhat comfortable

    2002 M1123 4L80E Strange Shifting

    Got it, where exactly do I send that 12V too? Do I wire it so I can send it to the wire that goes into the brake switch?

    Has anyone put the torque converter lockup on a toggle switch? From the looks of this video, it seems like he was running it off one

    Any Transmission Or Overdrive Swap Recently

    I don't want to imagine how bad the acceleration would be with 4.90s on the bigger tires with a load though

    2002 M1123 4L80E Strange Shifting

    I have the 200A, 2,300 is usually where I keep it at on the highway, 2,300RPM use to bring me to around 60Mph

    2002 M1123 4L80E Strange Shifting

    I replaced the brake switch under the dash, still the same, 55mph at 2,300RPM. I know for sure now that it's actually shifting in overdrive so my guess is something else electrically is affecting it from lock/unlocking the torque converter, the speed difference is only 5mph, it use to be at...

    2002 M1123 4L80E Strange Shifting

    Just tested, I drove it in 1-3, 45Mph is at 2,300 RPMs, I put it in 1-4th and it manage to do 55mph in 4th at 2,300

    2002 M1123 4L80E Strange Shifting

    I cleaned all of the connectors, now it shifts perfectly fine up to overdrive, it won't go into overdrive until I completely step on it up to 3,000 RPMs. 1-3 gear shifts flawlessly though. I'm assuming like RWH said, the TPS, does anyone have a good explanation on how to adjust the TPS or is it...

    2002 M1123 4L80E Strange Shifting

    Oddly enough, the truck is shifting perfect after I just mess with the wires at the brake pedal assembly, maybe a loose connection can cause it?

    2002 M1123 4L80E Strange Shifting

    Is this the assembly that connects to the brake pedal?

    Cooling system upgrades

    Yea I have this same fan, for me it's much better than the original cadillac valve setup, especially going uphill. I know people say these engines can run hot, but these 6.5s are not no cummins or duramax, the 6.5s are well known for a high failure rate of overheating and crack blocks. I also...

    2002 M1123 4L80E Strange Shifting

    For some odd reason my transmission is popping in and out of overdrive, it act as if it don't know what gear to go, the only way it won't do this is if I get up to 60Mph or really put my foot down. I've done a little research and see people say about some throttle control issue or the TCM, I'm...

    FDC Bypass Hose Question

    Got a hose made at the local hose shop, they got me some really good high pressure fuel hose, definitely much better than the plastic hose on the truck and the hose that I got from napa to use with the ferule fittings.

    M35a2 Super Singles Difference & Installation

    I was going to write a new thread about this but I figure this would be a great place, I've been running the super singles on the M35a2 for a bit and here's the difference for me (Pros and cons) Better cruise speed 55-58Mph at 2200-2300 Rpm, much safer than the 45-48Mph on a 70Mph freeway that...

    Mileage On Humvees

    Could be 20k hard miles, my broken speedo had around 3.5k and the hours was around 300 if I remember. My transfer case and transmission looked clean but the ball joints look like they seen better days, the radiator looked like someone got in a fist fight with it, the transmission wiring harness...
