    Analysis of Transmission Troubleshooting Results Help

    No TCM equals high pressure, thus you should be in 2nd gear, and reverse works fine… I have an M1151 I just received in, No reverse, forward is Ok…my transmission shop said the reverse band is probably broken, probably from some jar head slamming it into reverse while driving down the street, we...

    North Carolina HMMWV Registration Experience and Tips (2023 + 2024)

    My buyer on this site who lives in NC walked into DMV with an SF97 from myself and walked out with tags and plates…I did provide him with a BOS and a power of attorney as well.

    3521 needs some assistance asap! Hmmwv troubleshooting

    First off, the engine sounds terrible…you’re idle is to low and the engine is stumbling. The PS pump is just that, a pump, driven by the engine, when you load it by turning the wheel and stepping on the brakes “hydro-booster” you will get a decrease in rpm’s. You need bleed the air from the...

    The Rise and Fall of the Humvee?

    Comparing the HMMWV to the JLTV is like comparing a P51 Mustang to an F16, this writer is an idiot. Maybe this clod would rather we kept the Jeep around ? That would have been perfect in Iraq, as if somehow in WW2, Korea and Vietnam there was absolutely no MOUT going on, no IED’s…or as they...

    Mounting Transmission Control Module

    because it was replaced at the unit level by some pvt who needed the truck to work, it doesn’t affect the operation of the truck to have the enclosure not bolted down, not the first I’ve seen nor the last.

    Mounting Transmission Control Module

    There are 2 mounting variants Based on what truck they are installed into…the box is the same, it’s the brackets or feet that determine the truck,M1123/1097A2’s get the brackets, the brackets had studs that passed through the floor, the turbo uses the tabs and attaches via rivnuts.

    Were non-turbo Humvees produced after introduction of the M11xx-turbos ?

    to be fair…we’ve been exporting long before HMMWV’s were sold by GP. The No.1 exporter of hmmwv who “actually does the paperwork for customs clearance” is Steve Kopito at Owens Export. Steve has been exporting for over 30yrs

    Are the dip stick accurate on ECV trucks ?

    ok, this pertains to custom tubes in custom cars and trucks, our trucks are OEM and all turbo trucks use the same tube and stick, as does the A2, as does the 3 speed th400 use there own specific OEM parts, no calibration is required…

    Were non-turbo Humvees produced after introduction of the M11xx-turbos ?

    Being I export to Germany often, I can tell you…you are screwed, your govt is effectively the state of California. They are in fact Subject matter experts in Hmmwv’s. You are relegated to M998 3 speeds from 85-94 and in line with the internet published mfg SN ranges that I shared about 10yrs ago.

    Are the dip stick accurate on ECV trucks ?

    Calibrate the dip stick? Not accurate? I service maybe 2 Transmissions per week…all turbo and NA 4 speed trucks, never has a transmission taken 4 gallons of ATF. it takes quite a bit of time to fill properly, it cannot be rushed, you get a false reading on the dipstick from fluid still in in the...

    Were non-turbo Humvees produced after introduction of the M11xx-turbos ?

    2005 is the latest model A2 ive seen…it was in my unit at Travis AFB, as a matter of fact, it was not only an A2 NA, it had ECV OEM 4 man A/C installed from the factory.
