    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    The TPS I used was the civilian application, There is a very common one that does not fit, I think this is the part, I will look back and see if I can find when I purchased it. The wrong one is of course cheaper...

    24v power source at alternator for IBIS Light bar?

    You could set it up on a bench and read the actual amps at 28V, but it would probably be best to just size the wire to the max current draw. If you are close to the max for a given wire then just go up to the next size. Also that chart is for copper wire, there are ALLOT of folks selling copper...

    24v power source at alternator for IBIS Light bar?

    I am not sure, it could be the startup amps are higher than running amps, or based on what the input voltage is, you could see if the manufacturer has more detailed specs or contact them. But in the end you will probably end up sizing everything for max amps.

    24v power source at alternator for IBIS Light bar?

    The amp rating is the same, only with 24V you deliver twice as much wattage per amp, the reference to 12V was not necessary in the article.

    24v power source at alternator for IBIS Light bar?

    The 60A is switched in and out by the run switch so no continuous 24V is available there.

    24v power source at alternator for IBIS Light bar?

    Sorry I thought you meant you only needed a couple amps which is all I would pull from the alt. It would be a good place to pick up switched 24V to power a relay (coil) but that part of the system is pretty much maxed out. Run the heavy line to the battery box and fuse it there.

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    This can be a chore, what I did was take an old (thin) butter knife, heated the end and "cut" that plastic piece where the pin comes through down to the shaft, then I simply put a screwdriver in that "cut" and twisted, the plastic piece split on the opposite side where the pin is and it just...

    Interesting Response from Vermont DECLINING my HMMWV Registration

    This might be interesting: Texas outlawed all dune buggies/sand rails just by the description of the vehicle in like 2017 (actually earlier but 2017 is when they started enforcing it) letters were sent out demanding the owners relinquish their titles. In 2019 they reinstated the "dune buggies"...

    Glow plug control box question

    Yes as long as the TSU matches the EESS/PCB, some EESS boxes do not need a TSU

    Restoration of FAV #0010

    Well the last week or so I got the engine torn down, and Friday I picked up the fuel tank and new console from my metal guys. The fuel tank was split and repaired along one of the seams, they evidently did not grind it out deep enough and did not even stop the crack. So my metal guys said they...

    Glow plug control box question

    The 200 or 400A alternators have little to nothing to do with the EESS box but for the fact the EESS box excites the alternator you are good. The only real difference is the 400A has two large cables going to the battery instead of one (I believe the "extra" cable actually goes to the starter...

    Every windshield they ship to me arrives broken

    That is standard procedure for AMG, they can show stock that is being held for a gov. order which comes first, if you really need it in a hurry make an inquiry to AMG and they will tell you if it can be shipped right away. I have ordered several windshields from them, I get that kind of stuff in...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    What a difference a couple days can make, Friday I made a 120 mile jog through Corpus to pick up the FAVs repaired fuel tank and the custom consol my metals guys made for the FAV, out to Aransas Pass to pick up some marine stuff and back home, mid 70s blue sky no doors and short sleeve shirt...

    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    Also never go for the "friends and family" scam when using PayPal if they are legit they have an account that can accept payments for goods, at least then you have some protection. EDIT, unless you know them personally.

    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    Do you have a link, their website domain is now available on Godaddy and I do not see anything on their facebook page. One thing I would say is I don't like the fact they molded the door trim around the door in fiberglass, may seem like a minor detail but I really think it detracts the appeal...
