    how to detect a broken CDR-Valve?

    The CDR valve is plumbed directly into the intake so if there was excessive blow by you would not necessarily see oil in the air filter

    4L80E TCU Missing! Will it still move without it?

    Make sure the trans fluid is full after running it, over time the torque converter and trans cooler will drain out of the open plug and even if you fill it static it will likely pull all the fluid out of the pan as soon as you start it. Good luck with your new truck!!!

    Welcome to the SS forums, you do not have to disconnect the fan clutch on a serpentine belt setup.

    Ball Joint Taper

    The trigonometric solution is to measure the two holes. Subtract the small hole from the large hole divide that by 2. Then take the arc tan of that answer divided by the cross-sectional area of the hole in the upright. :LOL:

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I finished installing, plumbing up and wiring the custom bumper, brush guard and modified rear winch mount with the MM H12000 hydraulic winch on the front of DuraVee today. When they say no two HMMWVs are built the same they mean it, I built this to the exact dimensions of the Detroit without...

    [Q] Wait Light - ground switched?

    I would test the glow plugs first, they may not be bad, you might also consider a Camotech manual box since you don't have any usable box, or yes an S3 box. Stripping the old harness should not be all that much work. I am still not positive the main harness is good to go, since you do have the...

    [Q] Wait Light - ground switched?

    I have not seen that two harness LAU box on the two 1992 trucks I worked on or any later trucks, I think the LAU boxes were gone by then, it is unfortunate but it looks like someone went through all the trouble of cutting a new hole just to install a crap box, at least your truck did not burn...

    [Q] Wait Light - ground switched?

    Well it looks like he just added the older glowplug harness, it looks like you can just remove that and install a later box, I am surprised the two types use the same main engine harness connector, I was thinking you said the extra connectors were square.

    [Q] Wait Light - ground switched?

    Actually it looks like the second harness was added later, you may have the harness you need for the later boxes. What is the model/year of your truck?

    [Q] Wait Light - ground switched?

    As CAMO said that is an old very outdated system, you will need a new engine harness and ether a smart start or CAMO box. Take a picture of the "sqaure" connectors you are talking about at the glow plugs, the only thing I can think of is the civy setup with spade terminals.

    Throttle position sensor not getting signal.

    You need to back up on that wire #350 to the TCM, as you stated there should be a 5V reference on that lead, check pin d (with underscore) wire # 350A at J1 at the TCM case, if you do not have 5V there then bust open the case and inspect the TCM and connections for water intrusion.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    I took a 120 mile jog this morning to Karnes City and back to pick up a Craigs list purchase. I figured 50 deg would be a little uncomfortable in the DuraVee with no doors or back wall so I took the Detroit, seeing as it was veterans day and all. That decision turned out to be a good one as it...

    4L80E TCU Missing! Will it still move without it?

    Belated WELCOME to the SS forums.

    [Q] Wait Light - ground switched?

    The wait light has a #27 (F) wire, all #27 wires are instrument feed so yes it will be hot any time the run switch is on and the PCB grounds the other lead to turn on the light.
