    M1151a1 revb a/c hose

    The part number is on the hose generally, at the component end…you won’t fine a shop that has those wonky ends AMG used. one thing I like about the dual barrier ac hose is that I can use EZ clip anywhere, these trucks use single barrier hose and that means you can only Use compression crimp...

    Disaster truck help needed

    Another HMMWV in limp mode

    2002 M1123 4L80E Strange Shifting

    yes, i made one years ago as a diagnostic tool, all you are doing is denying 12v with a simple switch. The second you touch the brake pedal, you deny the 12v thus unlocking the TC, as soon as you hit about 40mph, apply the 12v and you should see a drop in RPM.
