    Glow Plug Replacement

    The best part is MME is a sponsor here, maybe the folks who run this website should actually start calling into question the vendors they choose? I mean…I’ve been calling them out for quite some time, these glow plugs are not the only Chinese parts they sell under the auspices of “mil-spec...

    Transmission cooling line popped off while driving

    actualily, folks Should be replacing all hose clamps and rubber hoses…in my shop, we do not reuse hose clamps, or attempt to tighten them further, they are generally loose because the rubber has shrunk as the hoses have dried out.

    Anderson connector attached to heavy gauge wires passenger side seat...???

    And…200amps isn’t technically overkill, the AC alone is 30amps, you technically per the TM cannot run a red dot system without a 100amp, but that was old guidance when A2’s were relevant…most modern trucks run 130amp on up to 400amp.

    Top speed

    2012 is the reset date, they didn’t make m1114’s in 2012, its probably a late 90’s-2004. doing 80mph is for a fool…don’t care which model you have…but hey, Darwinism is alive and well.

    2010 6.5 4l80 gets to 50 no overdrive and no trans light

    NO TCM lamp? No shifting of the transmission, the lamp lit during startup is a “Hey, I see the TCM” A lamp that doesnt extinguish while running, is a TCM that does not see the motor running… check power to the TCM at the batteries
