I think you are tripping a circuit breaker also. There are 2 behind the gauge cluster panel. One is directly off the RUN position. I would start looking for the problem before doing that again.
Not even going to try to fix that brass tube that is split. It is epoxied into the pump and is not right. I will replace it one way or the other to fix it.
Thanks for the information, I will give it a shot.
The wiper on the driver side is almost in front of the dash cam and in my view more than I like so I am going to try it the other way. I will note the pass side mirror after i try it however I have added the rear view camera to act like a rear...
FYI to clarify I wasn't crapping on anything, gave you an honest answer to your question with what I thought was a fair market value. I see LOTS of them for sale on FB HMMWV Swap Meet group and some are outrageously priced and others are reasonable and actually sell.
IMO, your truck is a very basic model with no frills or extras. I would agree with the rest here that investing more money on other parts will not get you any gains. If you plan to sell it then sell it the way it is. If you plan to keep it then expect to put lots of money and time into it...
I also worked on more of the wiring today. I wired the electronic speedometer, hooked up the reverse lights, installed the TC Lock light and a few other things.
I thought I would show how I am tying in the wires. For example the reverse lights needed a power source and I only wanted them to...
I have replaced the windshield washer tank and pump with a new one I bought on epay back in Feb 2021 and today I wanted to test the spray nozzles to see if I should replace them. I put some fluid in it and they did not spray well. In fact it seemed to spray from the line where it connected to...
I finished the Visor today and mounted it. I used 4 trim screws to mount the display.
Side note, someone previously mentioned the wipers stopped on the wrong side of the window. If anyone knows how to make them stop on the other side feel free to post up as i would like them on the other side.
I'm no expert on EESS boxes and have never taken one apart but I do have and electronics background and based on the picture it looks like the circuit board has some burnt area on it. I can't really tell due to the resolution of the picture but maybe you can. It may just be the etch behind...
I have a EESS box that worked fine but I upgraded to the Smart Start. It has the correct temp sensor and I believe it is the latest model EESS before going to the Smart Start box. I was going to keep it for a spare but I would part with it if someone needed it for a lot less than the Smart...
Thanks for the reply, I actually opened it up to see what's in it and realized the plug at number 3 is a female version of number 2. So at the very least I would need to get a different connector for that and yes rewire the connections. The cable (number 1) would power other radios and I...
I'm trying to use this as a master power switch to my Vic 3 lite. I have the power cable that would plug into either number 2 or 3 in the picture (assuming number 3). Number 2 (J1 to Battery) I assume that is what the battery connects to?
One concern is J2 (number 3) says Pin C is +28v...
Yes you can. If you want to replace both side of the connection then it would be very difficult to get to the part on the clutch. I prefer to replace both sides when dealing with any leaking connections. However it could very well just be the one side. ...I assumed he meant replacing both sides.
I know on mine it would be very difficult to replace that fitting without removing the radiator. I think you will need to remove the radiator stack and the shroud will come with it. The fan doesn't need to be removed and you will be able to change the connectors and reassemble. I happen to...
Besides mounting the TCU I also worked on the rear view camera display mount today. After playing with a number of ideas I decided to mount the display on the inside of the visor. This isn't just a rear view camera though. It is intended to mount over a regular rear view mirror in a car and...
Mounted the TCU behind the dash today. Used some good double sided tape. Next I have to make a Data plate type cover that will cover the old hole and and leave just the display showing. For now it serves its purpose.
This isn't an ad for the QuickShift 4, it's just my personal experience using the product 1 time.
I ordered it from their website and it asked me questions about my application. First what the transmission is and of course I went with 4L80 then it had specific questions about the year as...
On the drive home I was able to cruise at about 60 mph and that is a HUGE improvement. I am very happy with the TCU I picked, the US Shift QuickShift 4. It came pre-programmed for my application and though I might give it a few tweaks it is good to go as delivered. The cost was less than $700...
I drove it home from the shop where I did the transmission swap and I will say it is quieter in the cab. As Action said, it is quieter due to the lower RPM of the engine.
