There are a couple version of this speedometer. In the back you see dip switches that can adjust this one for compatibility. There is also one without dip switches and correct part number that should work with the OEM sending unit. I made a twisted pair signal cable and ran it from the...
A 4L80/85 will default to 2nd gear. It isn't so much a limp mode as a default. I found this out when doing my 4L80 swap and talking to the TCM controller tech support to make sure I was setting it up correctly. It displayed 2nd upon power up and that didn't seem right to me so I called...
Mine don't work that way. Did you adjust the striker out? Is it front or rear? The strikers are different and have different offsets. Make sure you have the correct ones in the correct places. Also make sure they aren't on backwards and are offset in the correct direction. BTW, I'm...
I've seen many different door locks for our HMMWV's and have thought about a kit myself. With the recent thread about them it got me thinking about how people use them, like them, would like them to work, etc.
Not all 4L80's are created equal. There are early and late models and there were running updates. At some point they added a bolt hole for LS engines. Then the 4L85 is an upgrade planetary but still a bolt in for a 4L80. When I was looking for one for my HMMWV I found the 2000ish and up were...
The caliper compression tool is cheap, here's an example https://www.ebay.com/itm/203534090699
If I have use new chinese crap rotors the first thing I do it turn them and make them flat and parallel. Based on past experience I avoid them at all COSTS.
Edit: Actually on second look the piston side pad looks about half gone. I'd just replace the pads of the rotor surfaces are smooth with no significant grooves. Put the brake anti-squeal on the back of all the pads and let dry before installing.
Short of a full brake rotor inspection and disassembly that lip doesn't look like a problem. Most brake rotors wear the same way because the pads don't overhang the rotor and wear the rotor only where they touch. Turning the rotor just insures the rotors are flat and the sides are parallel to...
Did you buy that one on epay? I checked and I don't have a large enough piece of stock to make a tab. The tab would go around most of the outside diameter of the alternator and would be bolted on. The tab on the opposite side prevents going completely around. If you need me to make it, I...
Another thought, you could try putting 7vdc on the appropriate pins and seeing if the speedo goes through an initial check, usually the needle cycles. You can get 7.5 vdc with 5 AA batteries. If that works and you want to pursue trying to use that speedo then maybe consider buying the GPS and...
I have zero knowledge in MRAP anything but a couple things come to mind. That speedometer is generic in that the company that makes them also makes 100 other speedometers including Harleys, Fedex trucks, boats etc. A quick search on google turned up so interesting things. 1) that same speedo...
You posted images using links to your email account. No one but you can see them. I suggest you save the images to your computer and them use the "Attach Files" at the bottom of the post so everyone can see them.
Looks like a cast metal and depending on quality of the metal will determine if it can be reliably welded. How much time and machinery do you have? If I were in that situation I would machine a ring with a tab that went around the alternator and then screw it to the case. Not a simple or fast...
I was interested in changing out my old turn signal switch for a self canceling switch but in my case due to the shortened steering column. Since I bought a self canceling switch I mounted it to my stock length steering column to see if it would work with the Key ignition/steering column lock...
