Stay away from china crap…order from a distributor, meaning….stay off eBay.

The majority of the time, the 3 lever switch is the problems I probably replace 1 a week….for one reason or another.

Its a combination of parts in the cooling system, thermostatic switch, TDM, cadillac valve solenoid can all cause this issue, the cold advance has no bearing on any of this, thats just a switch for power to C.A. solenoid.

First off, what was the indicated temp? your issue is most likely a bad thermostatic switch, if you bought a Chinese knock off, I almost guarantee it. to many folks replacing thermostats for absolutely no reason

yea, those motors came out of Alabama Demil yard…I’ve had quite a few. transmissions are always a crap shoot cuz you cant test them like a motor. where are you located?

co-nested liquid lines are about 3-4 apart, Yours is newer style, it’s the only version used on hmmwv. I’m already concerned that the rebuilder is asking dumb questions like that, any good transmission shop would know how to build that transmission, it’s for a HD diesel application, correct low...

None of my M1165 roofs leak water, the roof plug seal is water proof, if its leaking, remove the bolts, pull the plug, clean the old seal off the roof and plug, reseal it with a quality sealant, also apply sealant to the counter sunk bolts. we just had 2 straight weeks of rain here and not a...

Ok, never use an impact wrench you have corrosion that’s preventing this bolt from coming out, luckily you have enough to grab via vise grips, you want to start my soaking it in penetrating oil, then hit it with a propane torch, let it cool for 10mins, hit it again with heat, get a good grip on...

hmmwv only takes 98 and above 80e trans, the cooling lines on 98 and above are no longer co-nested but moved one liquid line to the rear planetary to address fluid starvation. my local shop charges $2800 for a complete rebuild with a 3/36 warranty , I’d be looking at a different shop. and don’t...

there Is no advantage to using the helical gears on your truck, you better off just using A2 halfshafts as they use your existing diff flanges. you only need to swap out your upper spur gear.

Gee, what could possibly go wrong with using gasoline. the roof padding is just an open foam design and adhered via adhesive, any 3M adhesive remover and a scrapper will take it off, GooOff works excellent, as well as break cleaner, either way, it’s a semi-slow and dirty process, doesn’t require...

The Govt never converted a 3 speed to a 4 speed, trucks are repaired based on IROAN standards in the contract. IROAN=inspect repair on as needed basis A 4 speed gets a bit more than just an engine with a different engine Harness.

These relays are quite universal, in the trans relay setup, you have 24v on one side that activates the other relay at 12v to power the TCM. it’s the same relay used for the fire suppression system “AFES” and the wind shield deice module is wired on 29T to activate upon switched 24v from the...

They are on eBay…

That symptom is one of algae contamination, I would inspect the inside of the fuel tank, replace the fuel filter and observe the old… I’ve had luck a time or two of adding Stanadyne fuel treatment directly to the fuel filter canister with 100% additive and it’s worked.

Read the TM’s and apply the UOC…there is a reason for proper application of parts based on model and serial numbers…they didn’t do it for no reason at all.

mine is purely an observation from daily exposure to the boxes…water can also come from condensation because of the environment the trucks were subject too as well, like old RT radios that would sweat…l
