I’ve armored more hmmwvs than I can remember , I’m finishing up on an M1165A1 REV now....
The hmmwv is the easiest truck in the world and the hardest truck in the world to armor, I know that sounds crazy, but till
you do one, you will see what I mean. The easy part is that all your armor is...
if the trans lamp is on when engine off, ive had water filled TCM boxes cause this, as well as bad TCM.
my last one was an M1152 with a dim Trans lam, opened the box and it was soaking wet.
dried everything out and no more lamp Issues.
Ummm, I had 60 of them Mfg’d , I sold them for $650ea, ive got one left...if you think they are easy to make, have at it.
its not just a round tube, it’s got a specific crush that requires a specific die And at the same time not crush the remaining 6 or so inches of the round end of the tube...
You use a long 3/8 ratchet or 3/8 breaker bar, the tension has a spot on the face.

you had no problem spending the money on a Dmax conversion, but you want to now cut the most...
NSS is just a pass through, so the wire numbers are the same, 2 of them…or marked A and B but makes no difference which side they plug into the NSS. To bypass it, you plug the 2 into each other with a jumper of some sort, they are both the same gender so they can’t actually connect like a male...
your truck was most likely never deployed, maint records aren’t kept as historicals like aircraft, rolling stock is an expendable item...
M1123’s were reset and had MAK installed, than parked in storage for 11 years.
Clearly you haven’t broken out the multi meter and schematic...sans throwing a bunch of money at it, electrical issues require some troubleshooting after what happened .
Dont forget to check the circuit breakers behind the instrument cluster.
You might know, I know, but not everyone knows that the ratios must match, I’ve had trucks in the shop with mismatched Diffs....it’s not a winning combinatio.
