Changed the transfer case fluid, then put the jack under and pulled the crossmember to drop the transmission pan. Last night I used the vacuum pump to pull most of the transmission fluid out the dipstick hole, so when I dropped the pan today there was only about a quart remaining. Some wrench...

It's like pulling teeth.... ;) OP, "ham radio" covers a lot of bandwidth, and no single antenna is going to work for the entire thing. You need to figure out what bands you want to work, who you'd like to be talking to, and for what purpose. For example, many offroad groups use CB, GMRS...

Rapco painted the tailgate and rear face, and now the hood. It came out much better than I expected. Next is the cowl and windshield surround, then the left and right sides. Then all the little clean-up stuff like the brush guard and mirror brackets.

When I changed the two filters in my Grand Cherokee I (for a change) read the directions on the RTV; said to let it cure X hours before exposing it to the ATF. That meant I had to leave the pan empty and roll the jeep off the ramps, then leave it overnight. After refilling it the next morning...

No, not more than one filter, but my typical routine is to buy the filter, get slimed up with trans fluid, grease, or oil, then discover the filter I bought isn't anything like the filter I removed. Then I have to go back to the parts store and sort out the right filter. I was hoping to skip...

Can we agree this is considered the "shallow pan" so I only need to buy the filter once?

Installed the key switch. I wanted it accessible but out of view, so it went under the heater switches. I'd have to try really hard to find a bigger pain-in-the-butt place to put it. :cry: But it's in. I'll give it a try tomorrow- too beat from a full day of work and I'm growing to really...

Mangle it and throw it under the seat. If the planets align right and some cop actually stops you, and knows there should be a front plate, show him the plate and mumble something about offroading and intending to put it back on... ;)

Little chores - Picked up the three gallons of Dexron VI - Picked up and installed new battery terminals (old ones were cracked and deformed) - Adjusted three of the doors that needed adjusting - Lubed two of the window zippers - Scraped off all the decals to get ready for paint - Moved...

Does anyone know a vehicle year make that uses this transmission I can use to search with?

Any company doing business with the government has a code assigned, some larger companies have several. Your Lockheeds and Raytheons may have dozens.

I'm going to be doing a fluid & filter change on the transmission and have some general questions. The 4L80E trans is the same as any other GM 4L80E trans? I ask because 2006 M1165 is not a vehicle for the purposes of searching rockauto, napa, etc. Does anyone know a vehicle I can use to...

Weird, the troubleshooting guide mentions Dexron III, but the TM 9-2320-387-10 mentions VI.

I'm going to be doing a fluid & filter change on the transmission and have some general questions not worth starting a whole thread for. The 4L80E trans is the same as any other GM 4L80E trans? I ask because 2006 M1165 is not a vehicle for the purposes of searching rockauto, napa, etc. Does...

Installed. I went through the mat, looks neater and works fine. Second pic shows some edge trim I put on to keep from scratching up the stock too much.

That helps immensely! I didn't think it went that far back, and on the angled part of the floor makes sense.

Does anyone have a picture of the lower rifle mount? The internet is bereft of any photos in that area. The book picture isn't much help, and mounting it in the direction it shows seems to angle the rifle butt incorrectly.

Does anyone know the background on the tachs in the HMMWVs? Like, why? Is it to set RPM for the hydraulic winch using the hand throttle? My Moto Guzzi that should have a tach doesn't, and my HMMWV that doesn't really need one has one from the factory. :unsure:

CA sucks for much more than just MV ownership.... ;) I did my first three years of AF at Travis near Fairfield back in the early 80s; it was barely tolerable then.

Link to the Rapco paint?
