That drain cock is plugged, it looks like they tried to drain it and pulled the "tee" out trying. That pipe looks like it has seen better days, you may want to just replace the whole thing, at least removing it, cleaning it and inspecting it would be the minimum as you have no idea what the...

I think you will have a ton of engine overheating problems, the BBC makes a ton of heat and the HMMWV does a really piss poor job of getting air across the radiator, even that anemic 160hp 6.5 runs pretty hot, engines like the Dmax and even the LS gassers first have very well engineered cooling...

The good thing about silicone hoses is they are slippery so they are easy to get off, the bad thing about silicone hoses is they are slippery and hard to keep on.

I have seen TC's slip but have never seen one lock up on its own, seems even more doubtful a mechanical failure in the TC would cause it to lock randomly

Looks like you are getting a little too close to the exhaust with that cooler hose

That is one reason I stay away from that new fangled fancy stuff, plain ol Goodyear hose has serviced me well for the last 50 years

Do you have a "company" Interstate battery store near you? If so I would look to see if they have any AGM "recon" group 24, 27 and IIRC someone managed to stuff some group 31 batteries in there. I have had real good luck with the "recon" batteries which are 99% just batteries that the shelf life...

You are not the first to have issues with the TC locking up at idle pulling the engine down, I do not remember if any solution was ever given. It SHOULD not matter what the brake switch is doing as the TCM should never try to lock the converter unless it is in ether fourth or in third or fourth...

You can also fab up one from scratch, this one looks perfect now that the truck has a 2" body lift.

One slight correction, it is a 24V relay controlling the 12V switched feed to the TCM

The first pic is what is located behind the seat, the second is the basic power setup. It looks like you have already noticed but there are both upper and lower case pins on that TCM plug so you have to be mindful of that.

Look at the page I referenced, the breaker, 24V switched, 12V unswitched before the relay and the relay are all behind the right seat. Break the wires out and look for 14V switched (in run position) you will not find the 12V unswitched because you have no connection running between the...

That #8 and #9 are just wires from the shunt to the STE port for diag.

I hope someone did not just chop all of that out of there.... That's kinda what it looks like.

This will give you the information you need , there are several #290/291 wires behind the front seat so make sure you are dealing with the correct one. Page 138 lays out the power wiring, breaker, relays etc.
