The guy talked about just getting up to max torque, which for me is 2100 rpm. It's really a good way to get everything you can out of a Humvee. Max torque and the torsens working as effectively as they can.
Fuel gauge read fine for a couple months.
One week ago, ran over big pothole, fuel gauge read a 1/4 less than it should (still read accurately despite being in the wrong place)
Today. Low on fuel, around a 1/4 (real reading), go to refuel. Check gauge after filling, shows 1/2 tank.
Same...
Looking at brake modulation techniques and one of them was to apply full brake and rev the engine up to max torque rpm. I heard with the torsens and really extreme off road conditions this works really great. Although hard on the transmission and brakes, what about stalling the engine in this...
So intake off, oil filler off, and won't I need to replace all those gaskets? Or should I just reuse the existing ones. My 6.2 was rebuilt in 2013 so everything is relatively new.
Sounds easy, only problem is that most shops don't let me bring in my own parts. Liability, warranty, and other stuff I supposed.
Problem is I already have my pump, and just want them to swap it. So many shops are afraid of this.
Looks like, as usual, no auto shop will touch the humvee.
So I'll be doing the swap myself. Hummer knowledge base has concise instructions. Even though they don't mention anything about bleeding the system afterwards to replacing the gaskets...
The unbolting and bolting seems pretty straight...
Yep saw that. Didn't expect it to be shown in clearer detail in a maintenance manual. Parts manual frustrates me, they leave out a lot of parts that aren't very obvious.
I am installing a DB2831 5149 on my 6.2 and I have run into a problem with the fan cut out switch. I have the bracket but I can't find where it mounts. None of the mounting holes on the pump fit the bracket...
And the cut out switch doesn't seem to mount underneath the TPS because the slot that...
So turns out my internal harness for my 4l80 is flooded and needs to be replaced .
Hummerpartsguy has one but is charging 200 for it, practically highway robbery.
Amazon and other retailers have a similar looking harness that says it's for a 4l80e transmission and only for $50!!!
Can anyone...
From what I've heard it's all about the DMV you go to. For the most part, the DMV employees have the authority to register it or not. As evident by the varying cases of registration difficulties
Oregon wouldn't be the first. California gives you plates if you drive near their DMV!
All kidding aside there are many states that won't question you if you go in to register a Humvee
I am creating an adapter from my existing 3l80 cooling fittings to the newer swivel 4l80e fittings. I have everything but a female fitting for the 3l80.
4l80 fittings were easy to find since they are really common, but does anyone know where to get female fittings for the 3l80 cooling lines.
So I have a soft top and x-doors and the frag 5 door seals. It all seems to work pretty well, no rain gets in through the top, and most of the time rain doesn't come through the gaps but sound does.
I had the am tech hard top for a while and the extra space on that allowed the door to seal on...
Well bleeding isn't a problem. It has a leak and its not that hard to empty the liquid, I just do some fast driving and its gone. Which reminds me, I need to find the leak before I use the winch...
Okay I understand the diagrams now
There is one single 24v power lead coming from the temp sensor power through the circuit breaker then out to the winch, but does not plug into the winch itself.
There is a special harness (I have on order) that has the controller plug on one end (mounts to...
