    Transmission light is off.

    The relay is universa, it’s designed to switch on 12v when 24v is supplied in the case of the Trans relay, the other Relay is for windshield de-icer or AFES, can’t remember which one at the moment. We remove all that extra wiring as it’s no longer needed, the transmission TCM power runs through...

    Pictures of rear cargo cover for M1165?

    There is a C-channel that screws onto the sides and top to seal up the front of the bed cargo cove, there is a later model cargo bed cover that installs on this truck, not to be confused with the softop version of the low cargo bed cover….that uses velcro, you could make an adapter of sorts to...

    Best Way to Power 12V Ham Radio Box

    I find it odd everyone ignores the fact the ability to run 12v accessories is already built into the hmmwv, and actually built into all tactical vehicles since the inception of the hmmwv. ECV’s on up have all the fuses and power strips waiting for you on the transmissio/accessory panal Behind...

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    That’s impossible, the vent on an m998 before the mods were done would contaminate the closest geared hub and maybe the front diff. After the mods to the vent system, the excess fuel is sent back to the fuel tank filler neck in an isolated vent line dedicated the fuel pump vent.

    Blue Body spacers degrading and crumbling

    This is a known issue and the newer production mounts have supposedly fixed the premature failures. The body mounts on you’re truck are probably 15yrs or older.

    Trans light always on

    you’re TCM isn’t seeing the crank position sensor….meaning the TCM doesn’t see the engine running.

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    Start by opening up the filter housing…bring fresh diesel and a 5 gal bucket, you need to validate you’re assumption and go from there. worst case, buy a quick inline filter and bypass the OEM canister, this way you have some level of filtration. Also very well is the inside of the injection...

    It's alive!!!

    Right, but that’s only where it plugs into the actual TPS, the other plug is at the back of the motor where it connects the engine harness to the body harness and ultimately lands at the TCM plug.

    It's alive!!!

    These 3 pins run end to end to the TCM plug, verify these 3 wires are where they should be via a DVOM. I had a truck“ECV” that had the TPS plug at the fuel filter that only after careful observation I had noticed the wires were professionally spliced back to the round plug, this was the only...
