    80 MPH Speedometer Backlight?

    The factory original speedo has a built in light. Here is a picture of the back. I wonder if the bulb can be access by removing the screws on the connector.

    Amgeneral direct parts.

    In general I have had good experiences ordering from AMGeneral. When I have had a problem it was usually related to an out of stock item. It's not always clear that an item is out of stock. Some times I missed it and others they just didn't have it. Eventually I received everything I ever...

    VIC1 Intercom 4 Man Setup

    I have a VIC 3 Lite system that works great as well. It is a smaller system with less frills and can support 2 or 4 or more headsets for intercom. It can also attach radios etc. I think typically it costs less in general than a VIC 1 or VIC 3 full system. Here is my setup for a 2 man truck...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    I was asked about the TPS sensor I used in my 4L80 conversion so I took a couple pictures. I used a Standard TH160 TPS sensor that is a very common GM TPS sensor. For reference of the location, the first picture shows where the TPS sensor gets located. The connector just above the arrow is...

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    The lines on the truck don't change. The lines to and from the transmission cooler are the same and are mounted to the frame rails. Then there are rubber lines that connect to the metal lines on the transmission assembly. Simply remove the rubber lines from the metal lines attached to the...

    M998 HMMWV - V Belt part numbers?

    Another 4.5 year old post reply LOL. However I match my own belts. All a matched set are is equal length belt. My local store has a belt measuring tool. Belt manufacturing to can vary a little in both length and V thickness. So even if you have 2 belts that are exactly the same length if...

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    I forgot to mention that I couldn't get the clip and used a dab of silicone to hold it. Also I think I have a used setup (switch, rod, relocation bracket) less the clip if your interested.

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    You either need the complete switch "kit" that has the switch and bracket (5 in the picture) you already have and a Rod (8) and Clip (9) you need. In addition to the kit you also need a relocation bracket (10). The kit is expensive and all you really need is the rod and clip...

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    That looks like a really good start. Later style transmission, has both shift linkage's, dipstick tube and probably the dipstick, trans fluid lines intact, muffler bracket, mechanical speedometer drive, both sensors and still has the wiring connector to protect the plug. Looks clean, no tell...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    I've never seen a matching male and female connector where the pins didn't match each other when connected together. The wiring diagram with one set of pins listed represents that. In other words, both sets of pins are expected to match the wiring diagram or they wouldn't have drawn it that...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    So I wrote the above sentence after I took the pictures and figure it all out. I forgot the solder side IS labeled as well. The switch connector isn't assembled wrong.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Actually I made certain I was not buying a china crap switch. This is a legit military manufacturer.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    I took the switch apart the rest of the way so I could make sure it matched the schematic above. When I first started to check the wiring of the pins to the switch I kept getting lost quickly because I would chase a wire from the pin to the switch and it wouldn't go where I expected it to. I'd...

    Tachometer Wire Connector

    You should use a twisted pair for the wiring. I have some of those connectors, pins, wire and the crimper to do the job if you don't get anywhere.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    I bought the switch a couple of weeks ago and then had to figure out how to get it apart. Not knowing how it was put together and what to expect, I wanted to be careful with the disassembly so as to not damage it. Of course I tried to pull it apart by hand after I removed the silicone seal on...
