    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    You have no idea, Harris county stripped the crud out of that truck, took EVERY electrical component and cut every wire doing it, took the front half shafts, all the steering gear components and the sway bar, seat belts, dog house, battery cables, passenger seat,, I mean everything they could...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    You know it is funny, I guess,, EVERYONE told me getting a Heeler was a mistake, she'll tear everything up, too much energy bla bla bla. I only met two people with Heelers, one was Austin (beltfed on fleabay) and they loved them. In only 9mo she is by far the best dog I have ever had, lots of...

    Yes but you can see that is a MUCH heavier cable!

    Help ID sheathed cable.

    looks a little light to be a brake cable, would not mind having a few as these would be easy to modify.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    I'm sorry, I see what I said could be taken more than one way, I am selling the Detroit, I have taken that project as far as I wanted to. Diggy Dog is only about a year and a half old and Australian Cow Dogs (Red Heeler) can live for 20 years or so and she has been given a clean bill of health...

    Did you buy it that way or get it from GP? I see you have had it a while, if you got it at auction real nice job cleaning it up!!

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Now that it has cooled of enough that I could leave her in the truck without coming out to a crowd with pitch forks I took Diggy Dog to town in the Detroit, perhaps her last ride in the Detroit. Like the man said, "dogs love trucks"!!

    [Q] 60 AMP to 200 AMP Gen upgrade on M998

    Many upgrades done to Basic and A1 trucks did not include the 14V wire because without the 4 speed they saw no need to balance the batteries, if you are going to pull any power from the 12V connection between the batteries you need to install this wire. I have seen the 14V tap on the regulator...

    To get my HMMWV (M1097A2) in good running order... need help.

    If it were me I would put a want in the classifieds to see if someone has all the pieces you need.

    It looks like your truck would use the RED 36 tooth gear.

    That sounds like a clue! Try it again with it on and at the same temp.

    M1152A1 fuel check valves

    Remember you MUST find a way to push the fuel pump push rod back up and hold it there when installing the new pump or it will immediately fail. I find it easier to pull the steel plate behind the pump and grease up the shaft and put it back in place, some others have other ways of doing it. I...

    Off the shelf muffler options..

    It would be best just to get a real one, not many mufflers have the outlet at 90deg and that is not the only thing that makes it fit, plenty of used ones out there. I suppose you could jury rig something like the last owner did, then the next guy can feel the same way you feel about him.

    M1123 transmission

    Great, that gives you a few days to go through the troubleshooting guide. Another thing you can check is unplug the main harness from the transmission and see if there is any oil in the connector. Disconnect the batteries before plugging or unplugging anything, safest to pull both the front...

    M1123 transmission

    It may have been trying to warn you for some time. Have you inspected the TCM for signs of water intrusion? You just need to get where you can read the codes, if it works cold it is less likely it is a power issue and more likely it is ether a bad sensor/wiring or a bad TCM. EDIT, or possibly a...

    M1123 transmission

    The supplement I posted above has the wire numbers, look on page 140 it is called a MIL for "malfunction indicator light" It is an LED so it likely is polarity specific, plug the "A" wire into the "A" connector on the harness.

    M1123 transmission

    According to the manual attached page 141 the wire should be marked 290 and or 291 and or 537. I am curious what you mean by you do not have a transmission light, the one thing everyone with the 4L80 really needs is a working transmission light, it can help tell you if you have a power issue...

    M1123 transmission

    Dying in reverse would be a red flag to me. If it were me while I waited for the trans. light I would disconnect the 12V power to the TCM, it is one of the two wires connected to the positive post of the rear battery (connection between the batteries) the other goes to the regulator. Then I...
