One other comment is we left the bowtie supplying pressure gauge in place the first 250 miles snaking it through the hole in the firewall near the parking brake. Maybe leave that in for a while to make sure your pressures are looking good? Another thing we did was add a transmission temp...

I can offer that the guy in NC who did my installation has done a ton of hmmwvs and knows 700r4's inside and out (was a GM transmission mechanic for 20 yrs) and did a great job on the wiring and brake to TCC unlock setup. I've been very happy with how it functions and knock on wood I've put a...

Glider. I forgot to mention in my update we debated back and forth on using the dual brake switch or not. We decided for now to just use the Bosch relay setup bowtie ships the transmission with that taps off the brake light signal to trigger a relay to open the TCC circuit. Bowtie provides the...

I'll add my results so far with the 700r4 that I had installed. I now have a few hundred miles on it and I really like it. I had a level 3 build from bowtie overdrives and it was installed locally by a mechanic with lots of military vehicle experience (he has 14 of his own, about half humvees)...

You can easily get a temp gauge and install it later if desired from any number of sources. Maybe they suggested it since I said I want to tow with it.

Here's the parts ordered/supplied from Bowtie pasted below. The items needed/adjusted beyond the kit: TV bracket had to be modified to fit the 6.2 block since the kit was designed for a 350 block. Needed the dual brake switch to interupt the TCC when braking Needed to route a 24V to 12V...

Hey Glider. My 700r4 is going in right now and the shop doing it went the dual switch route you suggested. I’ll ask him more specifics once I get the truck tomorrow. We debated not doing the dual switch, but you need a way to open up the TCC if you hit the brakes on the highway and that’s the...

Have you guys seen the kit BMI is developing and now says is for sale for a full mechanical turbo for hmmwvs? They have a 6.2 and 6.5 kit. I’d like to see some reviews of it at some point. They are 3 hr from me so maybe a road trip. My friend is a Detroit diesel mechanic and I want him to give...

Thanks for the great update. Sounds like you are a happy customer!

Any updates Joe on how the conversion went and how it drives?

Thanks for the update. Have fun with the new transmission. Let us know how it feels.

Awesome! Is a transmission shop doing it? I’m wondering how many shop hours would go into a swap with this kit?
