Someone on here or a FB group mentioned them being for sale on ebay. Bought them a few months ago and just got around to installing them. was under "HMMWV window roller replacement" or something similar

No markings whatsoever on the rear of the trailer. Just a USMC serial number on the tool box and the storage markings on the front of the right fender

I would chock the wheels and drop the diff end of each driveshaft so there is no load on it and then check(and grease ) all the u-joints. Often the u-joints will seem good when installed but are in fact seized or wollered out and it is only noticeable when one end is removed. If all is good...

Got a set of those 3D printed slider blocks that replace the rattly rollers in the X-door windows. Took a little flat filing to smooth and fit the edges to my channels. No more annoying rattles while driving.

I searched the NSN on ebay. The military uses ones made by Parker. I needed the mount and relay as well so this was a deal for me.

On the rear fender mounted A/C style the drier is mounted in the passenger rear wheel well right behind the fuel filler pipe. On the Red Dot A/C system the drier is attached to the condenser assembly

look and see if it even has the TCU present
