I have a 6.5td with a 4l80e and I am wondering where I am suppose to connect the signal wires from the tach to. I find in manuals and many google searches for the oil pump driven ones for 6.2 and 6.5na and that sensor can't be used since the turbo is in the way. Much thanks to anyone who can...
I took the 3L80 out of my HMMWV to put the 4L80E in and am now looking to sell the 3L80 (not promoting any selling right now). The transmission has 30,000 miles on it, is in good condition, worked great just wanted the extra gear, and I am wondering what you all think would be a good asking...
I have the rest of my kit installed but for the life of me I can't figure out how the compressor mounts to its bracket. I have all the pieces, so I have been told. I have a 6.5TD in mine, is there a difference in mounts? Any pictures or advice from those of you who have done this project would...
Whenever I make a turn (usually a left turn) I get this whining noise even at lower speeds like 7mph. Doesn't seem to happen as much when turning right. No performance seem to be lost and everything handles great. So my question is has anyone else experienced this. If so what did it turn out to...
I just replaced all the harnesses about mid last year and all has been working well. A couple days ago while driving the marking lights and taillights went out but everything else works just fine. I have head lights, turns signals, panel lights and brake lights. The problem is that I can't drive...
I have drove from Colorado to Memphis (for school) and Memphis to DC and have been on my way home (Colorado) for Christmas and all seems to be well until at about the half way point I stop for fuel and then the bendix goes out and she won't start. Never showed any signs of problems and then just...
It turns out my regulator has went bad and it not charging the batteries properly. I have since ordered a replacement but this is my daily driver so I have to come up with a solution. My question is is there a way to bypass the regulator and have the generator dump a load into the batteries? The...
On the 60 amp generator what does your gauge normally read after you start hot or cold? Mine shows very little charge going in after it uses the glow plugs. I wait until I know they are off but the needle just sits right over the middle line. When I start it after it is warm (no glow plugs) it...
I hope this is the right forum to put this in. I just recently arrived in Memphis and I have A/C to put into the HMMWV. Problem is that one I have no tools here and two that I need the brackets for the slant back. My question is can anyone around could fabricate and possibly help install. I...
Just completed my first day of driving (7 1/2 hours) and feeling good. Taking the HMMWV to school with me this semester ( it is my everyday vehicle). I recently put the 4L80E trasmission in there and it makes all the difference in the world when driving i.e. noise. TIme to rest and prepare for...
As long as the firing order is correct does it matter which plug the wire from the distributor goes to? Also, is there an easy way to test the starter solenoid switch? The starter?
I bought a Red Dot A/C and was not paying attention to the fact that is was a Serpentine belt system and mine is currently set up with V-Belts. My question is do you think it would be better or easier to change all the pulleys to the Serpentine or to keep the V-Belt system and try to exchange...
So I finally finished upgrading to the 4L80E transmission and the 242 transfer case. As much as I am enjoying it now, that had to be one of the biggest pain in the a** things I have done yet. Not to mention more expensive then I thought it would be. If you were thinking of doing this I will...
I have been putting a 4L80E in my HMMWV and I have done fine up until this point. I have a list of wires that I cannot find. I looked in some manuals and I can't find them or if i do they don't have numbers. So I am asking the vehicle gods on here if they can help me out. I am looking for wires...
Does anybody have the TM is 9-2320 manuals they would share and or know of any place to download it in PDF. I found some places but I don't want memberships. I am looking to get it sooner than a mailed CD, but will if I have too.
Does anybody have the manual that shows how the camo pattern should be laid out. I can't seem to find one. Getting it repainted soon and want it to be correct.
I would like to know the placement of markings on the USMC HMMWV. I can't remember if it is just the hood or hood a tailgate. I am having trouble finding any info on it.
I purchased an M38A1 and the serial number they told me was incorrect. I found the plate behind the passenger seat and it was way different. So I assume the year they told me was incorrect also. I am wondering if anybody has a serial number close to this one that I can narrow down a year to...
