    My 4L80E trouble codes

    I have confirmed with the multimeter on the J1 that something is wrong with the TPS. Is it the wire or the sensor, not sure yet. Everything else on J1 looked to be in spec, although engine RPM was lower voltage than should have been. Road testing it in manual mode with the J1 unplugged or...

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    Do you know if there is just one TPS or one near the injector pump and maybe a second on the transmission? I think just one. I think all the codes stem from the same problem, so perhaps fixing whatever is wrong will cure them all? You clear the codes by disconnecting one of the battery cables...

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    I also worry about the switch starting procedure, as in someone inexperienced using it. Sometimes my wait light comes on and stays and others it just flashes off immediately. I just count to 15-20 in this case and then try. I can see the current flowing to the glow-plugs on the voltimeter. A...

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    My thought was give them the codes I already read and the manuals explaining everything since no OBDII port and such. I was counting on that in case it needs parts. Worse case scenario how much does a 4L80E cost? Another grand for installation labor?

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    Great manual. Looks like I need some specialty tools listed in the back. Is this something a transmission shop will have or does this need to go to a Humvee specialist?

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    I just ran diagnostics on my 4L80E Four codes: 22, 85, 86, and 87 22: Throttle Position Low 85: Undefined Ratio 86: Low Ratio 87: High Ratio HMMWV will slip going up hills and occasionally go into limp mode (gears 1 & 2). ATF is red but was low when I bought it, so I added Dexron VI. Tested...

    First post M1151A1

    Wanted to give everyone an update. In short: success! The FL title arrived for on road use via FedEx. Relief for sure. I successfully obtained insurance through American Collectors after Hagerty later said it must be 20+ years old to qualify. American Collectors was cheaper, so it worked out...

    I did not specifically ask if I could get another one, and I would think not. I called in about the status and was informed my SF97 was sent to Florida, I could not get a copy since it was sent and required for the titling, FL title was considered an upgrade and not allowed to downgrade, and the...

    Ah, so the SF97 may not specify off road, but paying extra for the Florida title will say off road only? To get the Florida title you must first buy the SF97 and they send it off to get the title. I paid for both. I was told on the phone they already completed and sent the SF97 off and then told...

    Gov Planet has an agency office in Florida and will title it if you pay extra. There are no other state options.

    In hindsight I should have, unless it comes back as on road. I actually thought I would be getting both until I called them. Even on dirt legal it is $800 with SF97 and $1600 with off road title.

    Do you have personal experience? I have heard Alabama does not like them. As I found, although I paid Gov Planet for an SF97 they use it to file for the Florida title so I never get a copy; I called in about that recently. I am sure I could contact Gov Planet and get them to send a Bill of Sale...

    Well, I am assuming it is off road only, but you think Gov Planet would send an on road clean Florida title?

    Great! I will have to check out the sticky post. I know this particular grill design where the lights dont move up with the hood are the current ones and on AM General's website. Any idea what year that design switch was made? I have not decided if I want soft doors or just leave them off...

    258512 was listed on the auction and on the lower B pillar; also this manufacture data plate I am attaching. There is a different number stamped into the outside dash in the from of the driver windshield. I am curious what, presumably 17 character, VIN will be on the made up on the FL title.

    Thank you! I should mention that GovPlanet had called me after paying and asked what year I wanted on the title. I told them 2007; since I guessed around that time for 6.5L turbo and when things were nice prior to the recession! When I got the vehicle home I saw a manufacture date on the...

    First post M1151A1

    I have been checking out some helpful posts on the forums and decided to join. I purchased a M1151A1 from GovPlanet and picked it up last month. I have been working on it, little by little, ever since. It was full of bolts and shell casings when I got it. Found a 40mm grenade base. Got the...
