That will fix your 3 speed issue if you don't want to get the 4l80e.

Not sure if that's going to be more / less expensive than going the 4l80, certainly cheaper than an Allison 5/6 speed if you wanted to be a mad ballr.

More expensive than a 4L80E.

When I get the truck here I can check it's diff gears but I'm fairly sure I already have 2.56 (most early M998s do).

Is there much technical info on these online?
Are they a thing that mericans buy and build?

There is quite a bit, yes.

The US just put an order in for another 300 brand new HMMWVs from AM General, so all genuine parts are available to be purchased and all of the technical manuals are available for download in PDF format, so all technical info for them in standard form is super easy to get a hold of.

As for aftermarket parts there are a few shops in America who specialise in HMMWVs and Hummer H1s (The Hummer H1 uses the same platform), so will probably be much easier for me to mod and maintain than previous vehicles I've owned like the Mitsi Legnum and Toyota Century.

Dude, what a hilarious purchase! Pretty awesome though, you're making my build look bad ;)

Thanks man! I don't think my efforts even get close to yours in regards to how much work is involved.

I came into work this morning to the following email from the workshop in Texas -

"I do apologize for the delay.  We are missing a few parts.  We have already began to purchase and install parts for your truck specifically.  I hope we will hear back this week on the final parts.  I may be putting the horse before the cart but I believe you will be more than satisfied."

I am ok with this.

I'll also be ordering my hard roof/rear curtain today or tomorrow, this part is truly exciting!

Apparently it was/is a Hummer H1 converted to look like a military spec Humvee... so still a faster top speed than my shitter haha!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
