OMG that truck sounds like crap!!

Also looking at the paperwork I get with these trucks (SF97) GP is the actual seller (owner) of the vehicles. One doc transfers ownership from the gov. to GP and the other transfers ownership from GP to me. I have never seen anything that indicates GP cannot do whatever they want with them...

I think they have a deal with a CA shop to give them the once over, I seriously doubt GP is doing the work.

Any decent transmission shop can rebuild the TH400. Besides "used take out, not tested AS IS" does not sound too promising. If you get it built locally any problems can be handled locally.

The lug nuts came in yesterday :) So I installed a fan thermal switch and put some batteries in and all the lights work except for the right headlight, nothing on dim and dim on bright so I am hopeful it is a wiring issue or the next owner will get incandescent headlights as I ain't gunna pay...

The last one from the same source took over 7 months and the interdiction of a lawyer :mad:

Is 2300 high? Do you have a 400A alt? I know the three speed trucks turn 2900@60MPH

As Mullaney said make sure it says DOT 5 SILICONE on the label

According GP they do not file the SF97 paperwork until the customer picks up the item, I picked it up on Monday and received the SF97 today, if not a record it must be close! I did notice the fan temp switch is missing, but at least they put in a little plastic plug!

So that 10K GVWR is no joke. This R1 uses the same engine (GEP serpentine) the same remote type PS pump, the same transfer case, same transmission (4L80) and diffs (2.73) as the later A2 trucks. BUT it has 10K hubs, brakes (10.5") and half shafts, kinda a psychobilly truck This means I do have...

Between rain drops I put the R1 into the shop and did a 5 min inspection before getting the dinner bell. The right front half shaft was not removed, it removed itself so there is that small amount of damage to address but I have bigger fish to fry for now, also that brake line is way too close...

If it's not hot it is not passing water.

That is the "new" parts number, you can still find plenty using the old parts number 57K0264, I love HPG but $125 for a set of brake pads is a little out there.

You will find the part numbers you need in TM 9-2320-280-24P-1 all the TMs needed are free for the downloading at https://www.nsnlookup.com/equipment-intelligence/land/hmmwv The first 8 TMs are what you should start with, especially reading the -10 operators manual.

It is sometimes hard getting the exact parts for an R1, the three speed trucks should be the same as the A1 (UOC AVY)

Basically if you look at the direction the shaft moves that is turning the TPS from idle to WOT. Turn the TPS that same direction to up shift earlier, the opposite direction to up shift later.

We had fun unloading it today, the hotshot company that owned my trailer before me put a couple sheets of plywood centered over the axles, not because the deck was bad but to protect the deck, they of course would load smaller heavy loads directly or nearly directly over the axles. Pam could not...

About 120 miles, (EDIT 2/3) freeway so it takes me just under two hours..

This is a thread on the R1 I just got home yesterday. One of the reasons I bought it is because it has IP written on the hood. I have an idea for the IPs that don't look bad, no rust in the gov. housing but will not pump fuel, it is yet to be determined if this is one in that category. This is...

Thanks, I was asking if the later (M1114) cover could be fitted to the early battery box, I assume now that is a no.
