Am I wrong or are there two different passenger seat bases, I see the plastic ones like Basic/A1/A2 trucks have then I see this aluminum base that I assume is for a later style truck...

Can the later aluminum passenger seat base (battery box cover) be fitted to the early battery box?

Yes the brake switch to the TCM opens when you step on the brake disabling the torque converter lock, so a loose connection or an intermittent switch can cause the torque converter to lock and unlock.

Others may have ideas, if it were me I would leave the TCM alone and grab power out of the battery box, fused of course.

The TCM operates on 12V.

I picked up the 4 speed R1 today, there were a few pieces missing and someone unbolted but did not get the 4 speed shifter, the bolts are plainly seen installed on the auction photos, they have a security issue at the Lytle yard for sure. There are a few more R1s at the yard. Diggy Dog says...

Can you get the the IP end of the injector lines for 1-3?

Yes but that would cause a miss not a knock.

Has anyone looked into just going back with the original Saginaw steering gear, I doubt anyone actually needs the extra steering effort supplied by the Sheppard gear as there are tons of other trucks without them..

Not exactly, if an injector it is leaking which causes the cylinder to fire early creating a knock, you crack the lines one at a time until the knock stops, then you have found the defective injector.

Welcome to the SS forums, a knock can be a bad injector, break each line loose one at a time and then re-tighten until you find the injector causing the knock

I would hate to be on the side of the road with a 4 way lug wrench changing a wheel with those lug nuts, would be a fight both ways. On top of the fact they can be run in and deformed so much they may not hold the wheel properly

These are the ones I use, about .90ea shipped...

On top of the fact the speedo may have been changed it likely sat and ran as a power source which is the reason they put tachs in them.

I would expect it to be tighter, maybe too tight to turn with your fingers, but yes you have to be able to turn the input shaft or it will not steer. If it is full of fluid and the ports are capped then it would be hydro locked and very hard to turn, why the truck is nearly impossible to steer...

You are not turning the pitman arm, you are turning the input shaft. :LOL:

Yep, they are plain ol 9/16-18 lug nuts with 7/8" hex, zinc plated, the very first thing I replace on every HMMWV I get, you are correct over tightening them ruins them. Lug nuts are supposed to be "soft" so you wear them out long before the studs or the wheels. I don't know about the NAPA ones...

All of the 2009 and 2010 R1s I searched for are 4 speed, but the one I just bought was a 2008 and that year is mostly 3 speed.

I just look at the serial numbers when looking, all the 4 speeds I have seen have 57X,K serial numbers but there have not been many. The one I bought was the first one I have seen at the yard I like to go to in TX, not that some may have not slipped by, almost all selling down here are 3 speed...
