Hey fellas, with all the 4L80E transmission problems around and a friend doing some transmission swapping it came to my mind that my torque converter is not engaging. As a matter of fact i never felt or sense that drop in RPM's. Talking to a couple of friends and driving their cars i can geel...

Well..... today, i received my 2nd truck, an M1151A1. This truck was marked as Hvst, and i didn't notice the pictures while bidding. However, it was very cheap at $2,800.00, which for parts is just fine. The truck had all the fluids drained (differentials, wheel hubs, engine) transmission is...

Ok, here is a new one for me. While traveling at speeds between 46 and 52 MPH the truck at operating twmps (4 spds) the truck shits down and up in a fraction of a second and will keep doing it untill i accelerate. This usually happens when traveling I95 North in SFL and in some inclines (SFL...

Hey guys, My generator has developed this vibration at low RPMs, which is very annoying and uncomfortable (and worrying, for the most part). Have you guys seen this before? Is my generator going bad in terms of bearings and centrics?

Hi all, i got a question for the more experienced/veterans Mv's owners. It is ok to tow very short distances, the the ramp the boat with the humvee? Dry wight is about 6,000 pounds plus trailer, gas and all should be around 9,000 pounds give or take. The closest ramp is about 1.5 miles away...

If i were to buy the cable that connect to this connector, what is this called? Radio cable? Communications cable? I have searched the TM's but i might have missed this section. My idea is to connect a couple of accessories from here instead of running new wires to the battery. If i am wrong on...

Last weekend i did a trip to Tavernier, Fl from fort lauderdale and while the teip was really nice and a success, the ride was only confortable at around 55-60 MPH. Anything above that the truck started shaking and jumping as wheels not balanced. At around 40 MPH was also shaky. A little...

Hey guys, I got a temp tag and was driving around the neighborhood and my temperature gage is rising to the 230 mark and then the hydraulic fan kicks in, drops To around 220 and so on. When I was around the block it never raised above 200, of course it was a couple of laps and not more than 20...

So i have been driving my M1123 around the block (no tag yet) and i have noticed that at very low speed, specially when the truck is not under load (load from the engine) i hear a noise under the tunnel similar to when a U joint is damaged or flike something not centric hitting some place...

Hey guys, question for the more experienced ones. I am done stripping the valuable parts of the engine (alternator, steering pump, IP, starter......) i got to the point of removing the pistons and crank shaft, is it worth it to remove and save for a future non running project? Remember, 1 tie...

I was checking some stuff today on the M1123 while waiting on my SF97 and noticed the TC light wire #57 is cut. I was reading on another thread that this wire is ground, do i just connect the cut end to the ground? I can't find the electrical schematics for this connection. I searched all under...

Hey guys, big bummer here. i posted some days ago that i was having problems to start the truck and decided to pull out the injection pump, took to repair and picked it up 2 days later. proceeded to install and cranked without the intake manifold just to make sure timing was good and no leaks...
