    M1097A2 Steering Binding while turning.

    Thanks. I suspected this as well and have backed the switch away from the auto cancel pins to test this theory. However, I am fairly certain that I first noticed it before I had the switch installed. I haven't noticed it since though.

    M1097A2 Steering Binding while turning.

    Thanks for the response. I am reserving this as a last-ditch option though. I hate throwing money at a problem unless I can verify the part is bad. So far, I have no indication of that.

    M1097A2 Steering Binding while turning.

    Hey Guys, I have been having an intermittent issue with my steering and was wondering if any of you had any ideas. My rig has the 6.5na and the 4L80E transmission. Here is what is going on. Engine properly warmed up. While driving with trans in OD and transfer case in H. I come to a stop...

    4L80E Transmission controller upgrade. What’s this?

    I agree with you 100% amount not cutting up the oem Harness which is what prompted my original post. When I purchased the US shift TCU W/ harness I thought I was going to be able to simply remove the harness between the TCU and transmission and replace with the Black dog harness. Turns out that...

    4L80E Transmission controller upgrade. What’s this?

    At the time, I could not find a new TCM for less than $450. Used oem was more. Both minus the eprom. only way to search at parts store was by using civilian H1 and i wasn’t certain it would work for my application because of our 24v system. Should have researched that some more. Also heard...

    4L80E Transmission controller upgrade. What’s this?

    Short answer is I do not have one. It was missing when my truck delivered. I searched for replacements but was unable to find one for a reasonable price and all seemed to be missing the eprom.

    4L80E Transmission controller upgrade. What’s this?

    Ah, Yes it is clearly on YOUR schematics. It is not on mine. I was pretty sure it was a filter just wanted to know if it was supposed to be there or if it was something someone added on for some unknown reason. Thanks for the info. If you don't mind, can you share the drawing or TM number you...

    4L80E Transmission controller upgrade. What’s this?

    Hello guys, I have purchased a us shift Quick 2 Transmission controller along with the wiring harness to connect everything from Black Dog Customs. I am installing on a M1097A2. In the process of connecting the harness I realized that I would have to remove a bunch of crap to remove the oem...

    M1097A2 New Temperature Gauge Not working.

    You were right! Thanks. I thought I had checked all those wires aready. Turns out the wires were unplugged exactly as suspected. The wire connected to the sending unit actually had the wrong tag on it. Looked like 68A but was difficult to read. Was suspect because it looked like it had been...

    M1097A2 New Temperature Gauge Not working.

    Thanks, for your help but I already know where the sender is. If you read my first post, you would know that I am looking for the connection point between 33A and 33B. You can see the connector in the drawing attached to my post. I have an open wire between the sender and the gauge. I need to...

    M1097A2 New Temperature Gauge Not working.

    I have already ohmed it out. It is definitely open. ("OL" on my meter) Looking in the schematic it shows another connection between the temp sensor and the gauge. I am looking for that connection. If the drawing is correct, it should be another Packard connector. Need to find that connector to...

    M1097A2 New Temperature Gauge Not working.

    Haven't heard anything back yet. Has anyone had this issue or am I the only one? Just trying to find out where the physical connection between wires 33A & 33B is located. Anyone?

    M1097A2 New Temperature Gauge Not working.

    Howdy Guys, Working on my Humvee today. Installed new Temperature gauge. (mine was missing) Wired correctly connected to 33A and 27G as per the electrical schematics but it did not work when switched on. I have attached a pic of the device in the schematics for your reference. The problem is...

    Windshield Wiper Inop

    Here’s another solution. Its another McGyver calling card! :cool: I folded the windshield down on my M1097 for the first time to inspect the gasket and these contacts. This is what I found. It made me laugh but i’m sure it worked. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! FYI that is fine...
