    Turn Signal Control Arm Bulb Replacement?

    Local auto parts store and ask for 1864 or 1820 bulb. The 1820 isn't as bright.

    Turn Signal Control Arm Bulb Replacement?

    Hmm, my dash bulbs aren't backward polarity, Tip is Positive and the case is ground.

    Turn Signal Control Arm Bulb Replacement?

    Any auto parts store should have them. Something like GE-1820 should work.

    Turn Signal Control Arm Bulb Replacement?

    The original bulb is the same as the dash bulbs and does not have a polarity like a LED bulb. You can pull one out of your dash to test it.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Still waiting on rivets for the tailgate hinges but managed to paint the tailgate.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Once I get the directional mount bracket figured out and maybe a switch upgrade I might offer this service and see if anyone is interested in the conversion. I still have a stock steering column and parts on the way to work on that conversion. Do you think this is something people would like...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Today I mounted the ignition switch after painting it to match. I also wired it up and it works perfectly. I did take the ignition switch apart to example the construction of the contacts and assembly in general. At some point I will probably make a more heavy duty switch but for now i think...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    In my quest to have a stock like locking steering column with ignition switch I decided to inspect the chinese key switch that some previous owner had installed. Also I like to cut stuff open whether I need to or not. The contacts are well made and solid copper but unfortunately the wiper...

    Steering Wheel Center

    I don't think you have a safety issue, you have a force fit issue. Good rule of thumb is "If it doesn't fit, Force it. If it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway".

    Steering Wheel Center

    Your edit is correct. Skips 1 spline on both.

    Steering Wheel Center

    yes, standard steering wheel puller. That is what the 2 threads bolt holes on each side of the steering wheel nut is for. More concerning is it sound like you rotated the steering wheel on the shaft and Forced it back on where it doesn't belong. The spline on the shaft for the steering wheel...

    US Shift inside TCM with original harness?

    Probably spliced in because it already had a TPS and other sensors wired. Not sure what your goal is but if it is to relocate it then I would consider getting a new US Shift harness and just using it. It would simplify everything and you could mount it where ever you want. Also all the wires...

    Steering Wheel Center

    The splines on the steering wheel are keyed but the splines on the steering shaft on the other end of the steering column are not. It is easy enough to remove the column and rotate the wheel to your desire and then put the column spline back on where you want it.

    US Shift inside TCM with original harness?

    Depends, did your truck have a factory 4L80 or are you doing a conversion? If it is a conversion then the factory harness doesn't have any of the wires. The factory harness for a 4L80 has a bunch of extra wires that you don't need. The US Shift harness comes with everything you need except...

    US Shift inside TCM with original harness?

    A water proof box is easy. You could use the original box and simply remove the connector and run all to the wires through the hole and then just fill the hole with silicone. You could also wire the controller to the internal connector and use the factory harness. Do you have a factory...

    Can a bad Glow Plug box stop your alternator from charging?

    Unfortunately generic statements like that are not always accurate. Here's a picture of my tach sensor..

    Can a bad Glow Plug box stop your alternator from charging?

    That's a Tach Sensor. It counts the number of times the engine turns in a Minute.

    Dongfeng doors on Humvee

    I think this is the guy. https://northgeorgiacorvette.com/contact-us ... it was North Georgia not North Carolina, my mistake. Chris Gowen. I found him on a FB HMMWV Swap group. He makes other stuff too like center consoles and rear curtain that uses a 87 Chevy rear window. I have no...
