    Mounting Transmission Control Module

    That makes sense. My truck has rivnuts as shown in the first post. I'm just curious why it doesn't match up to the TCM for my turbo truck.

    Mounting Transmission Control Module

    I'm wondering if the TCM was swapped before the sale. That's why it doesn't have a proper mounting location.

    Mounting Transmission Control Module

    There seems to be 2 styles of TCM for these trucks. One with the brackets that extend out to the mounting holes, and the other with the bolts located further in. Mine has the bolts mounted futher in. Does anyone else have a M1114 with the TCM mounted with the bolts that are futher in? I'd like...

    Mounting Transmission Control Module

    Yeah, mine didn't come with that bracket extension on the bottom. I didn't think about getting a picture of the underside of the TCM, but it has 4 bolts already installed. They are just way shorter than the bolt holes.

    Mounting Transmission Control Module

    My minty fresh surplus M1114's transmission control module is not secured to the floor. Am I missing a mounting bracket for it? When I bought the truck it was also missing the rear passenger seat that goes over it, so obviously things were taken from this area. I've scowered the TM's for any...

    Brake reservoir and brake lines

    There are a lot of surplus sites selling HMMWV parts. I'm particularly fond of Eastern Surplus as they are a sponsor of the site. Here's a link to their brake stuff: https://www.easternsurplus.net/PartsList/4/HMMWV

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    What did I do to my HMMWV today? I finally got my surplus fresh M1114 running today and I'm ecstatic! I bought the truck non-running so anything could have been bad. There was no Smart Start controller but the TCU was KDS so I matched it up. There was no Serpentine belt, no CDR valve, a flat...

    Humvee purchase, need advice

    I shipped through Veritread. I'd post a photo of my invoice but I don't want to risk private data getting out there. I'm looking at it again and it shows the breakdown of fees. For sales tax the line says: State Sales Tax - 6% - Florida $xxx County Sales Tax - 1% - $xxx. The truck was sold at...

    Humvee purchase, need advice

    I double checked my invoice and it breaks it down showing sales tax was based on my home county in my state. Not the state I bought it in.

    Humvee purchase, need advice

    Welcome to the site! I bought mine last December and Govplanet charged sales tax at the time of sale.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    My truck was missing the fan side of the disconnect so I had no choice. Never thought about reaching it from under the truck. My arms have the bruises from reaching through the fan to prove it. lol It's amazing what parts are scavenged off the trucks before they are surplussed. I'd think...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    "What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately" First off, thanks for asking! I'm working on my auction fresh M1114. Found the nipple side for the quick connect off the power steering hose was missing and got that replaced. How they consider it a quick disconnect when it's located on the...

    HMMWV movie sightings.

    Pretty much any movie involving the US military in the last 30 years will have a HMMWV in it. With that being said, I saw one in the movie Planet Terror. Made me realize a vinyl top isn't that secure during a zombie apocalypse.

    Items you normally check 1st and need to repair and or replace?

    What's the deal with the CDR valve being removed? Mine was removed and sitting in the back of the truck with a screwdriver hole through the side. Why even bother removing it?

    What Do These Wires Do?

    Okay, thanks. I was literally in the dark while checking out my truck last night so I missed this.

    What Do These Wires Do?

    I didn't realize the wires were tagged. That's great information so thanks to both of you. I'll have to check the wires when I get home from work tonight.

    What Do These Wires Do?

    Hi all. Long time member but I sold my M35A2 a couple years ago when I moved cross country. I just picked up my latest toy last week. It's a M1114 and of course it was stripped before auction. I've scowered the TM's and found most of the parts it's missing but these wires have me stumped. Does...

    wsucougarx's M923 acquisition

    I just read through most of this thread and drooled over the pictures you posted. To say I'm a little jealous is an understatement. That's a beautiful truck! I think it's in good hands.
