    TCM Relay Specs?

    Anyone know what the electronic relay for the TCM is rated for in Amps?? I was going to add another circuit or two. Because it's electronic I assumed it may not be rated very high.

    4L80 Stuck in 2nd Gear

    If the TCM were to be completely disconnected, ie remove all three connectors at the transmission, ie not just lose power but also physically disconnect the connectors.......would it still be able to operate in limp mode??

    24v battery charging through NATO port

    Tex here is something I did recently. I used Victron as the charger (big in the RV world). Noco is nice as well but I liked the fact the Victron was completely waterproof and also had a bluetooth function when it is plugged in to monitor. Noco makes a nice bulkhead thru-plug that allows you...

    Noise from generator pulley?? Free spins on shutdown.

    I've tried oiling/greasing the bearing/clutch but can't make it go quiet. If everyone says this noise is normal than so be it but it makes me anxious everytime as I associate this with a bad bearing or something borken. I was able to switch out the line and it was perfect. No more leak and...

    Radiator Fan ....... "turn off" Switch

    Great suggestion! Love that. Just have to remember to turn it back 'on' or 'auto' and not accidentally leave it off.

    Radiator Fan ....... "turn off" Switch

    My question ...... can a switch be placed that can control this?? Where and how would you splice in the 24V to disengage the solenoid/fan? The fan engages via the cadillac solenoid when it does NOT get 24V ....... by default if there is a fault/failure in sensor, the lack of 24V engages the...

    Conversion to Electric Lift Pump on HMMWV?

    What's the consensus on best lubricity additive? I've heard the additives may not do anything other than increasing cetane rating.

    Military Cutoff Disconnect Switch HMMWV Battery

    Got it. That makes sense. I can attest leaving the inter battery OR 14V feed connected is bad idea for BCO.

    ON BOARD AIR?

    I repurposed an AC compressor on a land rover that went to a tank. Was easy to set up but no AC. You had to oil it every once in a while too. As others pointed out, was faster than most air compressors but still underpowered for impact wrenches. I've also had the oasis compressors (similar...

    Military Cutoff Disconnect Switch HMMWV Battery

    Steven I think that's true if you only disconnect the low battery ground. If you disconnect BOTH high and low battery ground it all goes dead. I can say that was true for me when the battery interconnect was still connected, ie cable between high and low battery. As soon as I added that to...

    Noise from generator pulley?? Free spins on shutdown.

    Steven what are your thoughts on the noise? Just lubricate at interface? Is it possible it’s too tight or too loose? Don’t understand how that goes together as the TMs I’m looking at show simple single but and key.

    Noise from generator pulley?? Free spins on shutdown.

    Yes. And had I know what I know now I would have had you do it lol! I’m happy overall right now but lots of things done poorly and have been slowly going through it. In the end paying for it again. For anyone reading this getting it done right.

    Noise from generator pulley?? Free spins on shutdown.

    Good question. Mine is a bit hybrid. Chassis is 1994 but drivetrain is A2. Will look at TM and try to cobble parts together.

    Noise from generator pulley?? Free spins on shutdown.

    You wouldn't happen to know the fittings you used, ie sizes?

    Noise from generator pulley?? Free spins on shutdown.

    Why does the pulley has what looks to be two nuts on it.........an inner one and outer one........one is painted red??

    Noise from generator pulley?? Free spins on shutdown.

    Wow. Thanks for picking up on that. I'm going through the truck bits at a time. Didn't pick up on that and it explains a leak I noticed coming from connection at fan shroud. Has anyone used AN connectors at these locations? Or is worm gear clamp adequate??

    Military Cutoff Disconnect Switch HMMWV Battery

    It shuts down the TCM (aftermarket US Shift) which does throw it in limp mode. I thought throwing the disconnect would shut off the fuel solenoid and thereby shut down the engine. But the generator must keep the solenoid alive.

    Noise from generator pulley?? Free spins on shutdown.

    I'm posting link to video. HMMWV Generator Pulley Noise On start up no noise. Generator pulley spins and generator charges batteries fine. On shutdown it makes noise and inner part of pulley/nut free spins for a few seconds and then stops. This can't be normal?!?! How do I fix this??

    Here is the pdf to the specs on the switch. This is identical to the military switch.
