He probably is using a battery balancer/equalizer to provide the 12 volts.dual voltage? the LMTV requires that.

I have not seen this style before. However, I did consider that the LMTV specific unit was just a metal box with heat and A/C bits in it. It would not be hard to make a similar metal box and put in a Vintage Air heat and A/C unit in it. I still might go that route, but these back wall units are interesting. Thanks.Fyi: for the cost of a surplus evap you can get an entire system from Coldmaster. You need the pulley and bracket still, but saves thousands of dollars going this route.

Nope, none available.
Exactly. Buy the universal kit. Install it as is or have a fab shop bend you a box, cut a few holes, and ...ta-da...instant gen2 housing. Slap the universal components in there and off you go.I have not seen this style before. However, I did consider that the LMTV specific unit was just a metal box with heat and A/C bits in it.

Edit: And it's 34,000 btu? Hmmm.
Gen2 are rated at 30k if I recall.I have not seen this style before. However, I did consider that the LMTV specific unit was just a metal box with heat and A/C bits in it.

The gen 2 FMTV unit is rated at 33,300 BTU's according to Tom at Waterloo Specialties:
He must be experiencing quite a high demand since the gen 2's are temporarily out of stock along with several other components.
The stock system (or at least the evap/heater/control box) may be somewhat expensive but it's very nice and is a bolt-in.
200A 24v run in conjunction with Bussman Equalizer gives a 100A 12v tap while keeping the battery bank balanced, increasing battery life.dual voltage? the LMTV requires that.
That is not how it works, the fording switch removes the ground for the condenser fans relay so they cannot turn on.There's actually 2 blank prongs....it kinda scares me to send 24 volts the freewheel ac fans....never did like electrical.....just don't understand it.....

You are correct, the A/C controller needs a ground path to enable the condenser control relay. Where the confusion arises is that the fording switch controls 24V to control the engine fan solenoid.That is not how it works, the fording switch removes the ground for the condenser fans relay so they cannot turn on.
well close, there is actually just one open terminal on back of the fording switch that the ground from the A/C system plugs into. No reconfig needed.You are correct, the A/C controller needs a ground path to enable the condenser control relay.

The fording switch does switch ground to control the fan indicator light, and with one small re-configuration(swap two wires on the switch) can also control the condenser fan enable…
Well I was trying to figure out how you could possibly have this so wrongwell close, there is actually just one open terminal on back of the fording switch that the ground from the A/C system plugs into. No reconfig needed.
Well. Crap.Looks like it sets where the air pipes run up to the intercooler…
catch 22, by the time you pay for new tube bent etc. to make room. you have paid more money that what Tom Baur @m-35tom from above sells.Sure enough. That bracket goes right where the charge air lines are. Maybe they can be moved?
