I think I would pull the round plug on the driver side of the transmission and stick a qtip in it (you have to have a really small head to get an eyeball up to it) and see if it comes out "RED", that would be transmission fluid. It could account for all of your electrical gremlins but...
4L80E, lots of them out there. Heavy duty trucks and vans and a few Motor homes. R & R your self that way the shop can't complain about it being in a HMMWV ....$$$$$ My 2 cents.
For future reference, the Mile Marker 12000 hydraulic winch works great on the rear mount, motor mounts to the right side and the "factory hoses" reach just fine. Tickled with mine!
Like I said "I'M SORRY" Welcome to a corner of the internet. And if you reuse the axle stub chamfer and polish out any scratches, they create stress risers...................or something like that, causes bad things to happen. And again "I'M SORRY" I'll go set in the corner now. (That's where...
I rest my case. And I am not going to discuss what the bearing on the front drive shaft is called either.
BUT, I do want to apologise to VAPOR TRAIL for hijacking his post to air our silly BS to argue about a GEAR. My hat is off to anyone ambitious and talented enough to tear one of these down...
The small gear attached to a motor is referred to as a pinion gear, think starter or small dc motor. The small gear attached to a "shaft" is referred to as a spur gear. JUST my 2 cents.
The rear can be removed and replaced with a floor jack and a piece of chain and assorted hooks. Having said that I DON'T RECOMMEND IT FOR AMATEURS , IT'S DANGEROUS, LIKE LIFE ENDING DANGEROUS IF YOU SCREW UP.
Blow it out from the inside out with compressed air, reversed vacuum won't do it. Not so hard as to tear the element. You will see when the fluid is gone. A red shen on it won't hurt. My 2 cents.
FYI... don't know about the situation presently but Mile Marker used to be pretty uppity about any part with a government part number . Some have had good luck others not so much. My 2 cents.
Is that all you have??? I have the "near" complete kit and although I have not looked at the thing in a while I'm pretty sure there are a couple of brackets, a hand full of grade 8 bolts, the plug that is mounted in the dash with the wiring to the solenoid valves on the winch and a controler...
OR............ 2 very clean 5 gallon pails and several feet of fuel line........ one pail with CLEAN FUEL and a line to the back of the pump..... the other pail with a line from the filter into the pail........ crank it up and wait........... runs ok needs a complete fuel system clean up, tank...
