    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Great to hear! I ordered a dual switch a few days ago, have a new 4 speed shifter, and have the kit coming. Did you buy yours from bowtie overdrives? If so I'd love to know if you needed any additional parts.

    Ebay "jacks Rails"

    I purchased these rails: https://www.ebay.com/itm/363665858840 They are knockoff jacks rails. The price with shipping was too good to pass up. I removed from packaging but have not installed. The quality isn't as good as original Jacks rails. They are half as thick and not welded as well. It...

    Can a bad Glow Plug box stop your alternator from charging?

    I was told the exciter wire coming from start box tells the alternator to charge. My answer is yes, the box can affect the alternator. If it is not working check the exciter wire for voltage. *Edit* My experience is with the 60amp single voltage regulator.

    Torsen differential locking tips and tricks

    I've read a fair amount about the torsen differential. There doesn't seem to be much info about how to actually use/manipulate the locking function. Pretty much all I have seen is hold the brake to make it lock but in practice it has been hit or miss for me. If you start watching the video at...

    Nissan Armada Springs

    With factory old springs I was 23 3/4 center of wheel to bottom of fender. With Armada coils and one coil removed I'm right at 25" from center of wheel to bottom of fender.

    Nissan Armada Springs

    Sorry if I came off rude. I'm posting from phone so it's hard to go between threads. I used the Heavier spring suggested by jrtoffroad. I also called the manufacturer and listed the rating of the spring and part# I used iirc in the other thread. If you used in the spring with ambulance top I...

    Nissan Armada Springs

    I cut one coil off armada spring front and back. It is mentioned in previous thread that the suspension is at the upper part of its extension range after the install. When you lift with springs you lose the down travel. I wouldn't suggest more than 2 inches spring lift without long travel or...

    New manual start box install

    I ordered a start box from camotek systems. This is basically a manual glow plug controller. Instead of waiting on wait light you manually energize the glow plugs using push button switch for around 3-4 seconds when cold. No glow necessary when warm. I am very impressed with the product and...

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    I just ordered a 700r4 from Bowtie Overdrive. I ordered all parts to mount transfer case directly to trans. From what i understand it will not need crossmember modification or driveshaft changes. I have a question about the trans lockup switch. I found a dual pole brake switch that appears to...

    H1 Recovery

    I've been waiting on someone to comment about differentials making noise. Is that normal? We all know the thing isn't worth 100000. It does look stuck however. Hung on rock, can't go back can't go forward. Plus who knows how to remove a steering column and hot wire a city hummer?
