    HMMWV in Limp Mode DTC 53 4L80E Transmission

    My Hurricane Humvee is Back Alive!

    Just an idea... and I did it to mine was to drill a 3/8 hole in the low spots in the frame. I was told by a wise man (86humv) that the frames have been known to rust out from the inside. One wouldn't think so, as thick as they are... but any water held in the frame is going to be a problem...

    Shifting just fine and then gets stuck in 1st gear. Help!

    MY guess... so here we go. Guess #1 you have a 3 speed transmission? There are many reasons... guess # 2 check the TV cable assembly and adjustments. It a little strange it can be a start - stop thing. Guess #3 Check the kick down switch on the passenger side of IP. I could be sticking in...

    1994 M1123 won’t start. Please help!

    Quick question. Do you have a key ignition or military switch. Using the meter, have you measure the battery voltage and report back. Had to ask, CAMO

    M1123 AC Compressor Delete

    Here an idea ??? If not wanting the AC on your rig... re-purpose the compressor for "On Board Air" It's already bolted in and with some simple plumbing, a small tank or bigger a switch or cutout / regulator..."good to blow" Could come in handy on the trail filling up JEEP tires...LOL...

    100 amp vs 200 amp generator?

    RIGHT... The contacts on the ENGINE connector to the box can not handle the current. The 8 ga pins are only rated 70 amps on a good day. Was a bad design right out of the gate...errr BOX, CAMO

    Starter Clicks But Does Not Start

    Just a guess... and a FREE IMO... so proceed at one own experience level. Sounds like the solenoid HIGH current motor run contacts are not making up. That's the two BIG copper bolt connections. One quickie test would to to short across the two with a junk screw driver. Get ready for a good...

    That's an easy one from the Camoteksystems builds file. Yes they do look some what alike. Front left and right rear lowers same. Same going the other way, Front right and left rear lowers same. A way to tell is looking at the spring saddle. Springs to the front and spring to the rear. No...

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV
