I'm not following. you say you have 3 military green box TCM's and harnesses. do you mean you just have a small pigtail of wire that's been chopped off the main body wiring harness still attached to the TCM ?
If you plan on running the military TCM you will need to either make a new main body harness or purchase one.
hold on to your wallet if you plan on trying to purchase one. I don't think there are any available in stock in the U.S. however I could be wrong. I think they were north of $1,500
Either RWH , 86hummv , or Ted Gates here on the boards could probably find you a part #

I would be more concerned that you are doing this as a business and have no clue what your doing in regards to this conversion. There is a lot of info out there on this topic, I’m certain you haven’t used the search function or google.

sorry no was saying I have 3 mil spec tcm (in the green box) as well as 3 harnesses essentially plug n play but /the bodies they will be going to be mated with are all m998 w A1 body harness thus nothing to attach the tcm to ! I do have 1 aftermarket tcm and harness and I believe I can use that and get by with the A1 body harness (Part#: 12339345 ). But there is no way to use the military tcm with an A1 body harness? correct /
u r correct on $$$$$$$$$ so far 2400 is cheapest I have seen an A2 body harness (Part 12460097)/

The first line you say you have 3 tcm's and 3 harnesses......what Harnesses are they ?
