    Looking for a good HMMWV mechanic in Maryland.

    6.5 requires the trans comes out....take it to any good shop, even a good transmission shop. the seal is quite simple to install after the trans comes out.

    I'm pretty sure I've got the Vampire Issue.....

    The 242 had the vampire issue...the blue band on the inlet and outlet tube are the new type and fixed the issue. your wire is your Tcase lock lamp switch...you need the name and harness to make it work.

    Axle ratio determination?

    Why would you want 2:73? maybe better off the line, but lower top end, 2:56 is the best for lighter trucks, you go with the higher ratio for heavier trucks but lose top end speeds

    Axle ratio determination?

    3L80 to 4L80E Transmission Swap

    700R4's are worthless....at least in stock configuration, it would need to be built up to even come close to the durability of a stock TH400.

    HUB rebuild hours

    Yea right...99.9% of shops won’t work on a Hummer H1 or a hmmwv.

    EESS PCB replacement for the HMMWV ?

    A GPC and a TSU are completely different parts, a GPC in a truck with an S3 will get a flashing wait lamp, and that's it, the glowplugs don't energize....but then again, I've never metered them in this scenario. The flashing wait lamp is fault because the box doesn't see the TSU.

    Is this a hummer/Hmmwv shop? Or just some shop.
