Why not try UBINTU Linux?

Clean the stack. Clean the inside of the radiator. Replace the hoses and ensure none of them were collapsing under vacuum effect. Use a laser thermometer and stop wasting time assuming the gauges are buggered

Get a hand held meter and double check before assuming the factory meter is correct.

N3135 iirc. That is designed to fit. I’m almost certain plugs and such are not the same [EDIT - I'm wrong]

Yes, and it was posted years ago. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/how-to-bypass-pcb-i-am-aware-some-hmmwv-owners-have-done-it.182560/ Someone else also posted years ago how to just bypass the glow plugs. Search is your friend.

This is an old truck with an old stack. Try cleaning the stack and try cleaning / boiling the radiator. Dirt gets in there and blocks air flow. Ask me how I know… I always turned her off before she hit 210. Laser check the radiator to see if hot water is getting to it. You can pull out the...

Camber?

Are you talking transmission or transfer case? Tranny has a low BUT only xfer case has HL and H and L.

Needed some plug adaptations.

Steve, your knowledge base is amazing and you never cease to impress. Thank you.

Agreed. I also have purchased a separate manual controller that will essentially turn this into a four-speed manual transmission, so if I am out on the road in the middle of nowhere, I will be able to get home safely and effectively using all four gears and overdrive.

This was purchased as a spare. I want to carry a spare box. The magic green smoke exited this TCM a long time ago.

Opened it up. How the heck does water get into such a heavily protected unit!!! And why not place packaging tablets to absorb/ scavenge the water? One small doo-dad fell free. 1x2 mm. I can ID the spot but not the purpose. I will wash in deionized water in the future and see if anything...

Steve, my friend… Before opening it I figure asking around is never a bad idea. Why reinvent the wheel?

I picked up a spare TCM and case. Before ordering the new module I was wondering if anyone had ever opened one up and attempted a repair. I have no idea what will be inside, but I assume a chip to accept EEPROM and some other electrics and probably water damage.

All your questions are easily answered in the TM’s Brake fluid is DOT5 not 5.1 or 3 or 4 Dextron 3/4/5/6 for tranny/x-fer case/ power steering fluid. Rotella for engine oil. I would source tires and rims from Feltz. I would avoid aftermarket. I would keep the Runflats inserts as if you get...

I like these units but they are 12”. I’ll need to measure it out. Maybe good for the hard top?

Depends on your skills. Glow plugs can get stuck and break off. Injectors can catch air and will need to be bled.

Loosen/remove either the fuel injectors or the glow plugs to allow water to escape, then spin the engine a dozen or so times. That will expel the water and prevent hydro lock.
