    LMTV Air Conditioner AC Main Unit Gen1 and Gen2 Details

    Yep exactly why I stated that components were one of the variables to charge amount. 👍 I do have the thick condenser to install... But the spec compressor is in (had to machine a bushing and relocate the idler pulley) because I think the comp bracket was aftermarket. The evap box is about to...

    LMTV Air Conditioner AC Main Unit Gen1 and Gen2 Details

    Unfortunately I am in the same situation when I will charge my system (still installing) Refrigerant amount will actually vary based on components and hose lengths. The best way is to use real gauges and watch pressures and temp to tweak.

    LMTV Air Conditioner AC Main Unit Gen1 and Gen2 Details

    I'm still in the process of installing my Gen2... But can you confirm that the system has enough refrigerant? That pressure switch may need to reach pressure before it will close and thereby engage the condenser fans. If your refrigerant is low it may not be building enough pressure. If...

    Alternate sounds coming through the air brake buzzer on my M1081.

    Ah! The troop alarm wire was cut off when I got the vehicle. Perhaps the ends are shorting or something. I'll check and reply back when I'm able to peek. Thank you

    I suppose anything's possible... But it is also super loud during the low air warning. 👍👍

    Alternate sounds coming through the air brake buzzer on my M1081.

    A few times I have heard some tones etc in addition to the standard wailing of the low air pressure buzzer sound. I'm thinking that this is either by design or corrosion or something through the circuit. Sounds too good to be just a random error though. I am not currently taking any...

    Just to reiterate those that reiterated. Lol 5 blade 12v and 24v relays work like a charm. Quality aside any will work so long as the terminals are rated for the amperage. I've been using 40amp rated.

    Hello from the the best Carolina :)

    Hi Bruce, congrats! I'm in Wake Forest, NC and I'm waiting on EUC approval from a 94' M1081 in Fayetteville. I'd love to connect since I'm trying to learn as much as possible. First truck for me as well. I'm a firearms manufacturer and thinking that Cerakote may be a great coating for...
