    Identifying cut wires under dash - M1165A1 REV

    Makes sense, thanks. Do you know where the "Two-into-one" wires go? That would narrow a couple down...

    Identifying cut wires under dash - M1165A1 REV

    Well, I narrowed the cut wires down to the 9 wires (two turn into one for some reason) to the Turn Signal (Directional Indicator) Switch. After studying the Wiring Schematics, I can't see where each wire goes. I checked voltage, and there is one wire that has 24VDC. Is there a way to identify...

    M1165 Rear AC Rattle

    Removed the rear evaporator and see it's a broken squirrel cage that's rattling around... reducing the airflow as well. Found this.... wondering if it'll adapt to fit...

    M1165A1 TCM "J10 Ignition Interface" Wiring Dongle

    Trying to ID this "J10 Ignition Interface" dongle that interrupts 29T (going to the TCM) with a blue wire that leads to another group of wires which have been cut during demilitarization. I could either bypass it (plugging 29T back into itself) or just cap the blue "J10 Ignition Interface" wire...

    HMMWV Ballistic Windshield Glass Needed - Passenger (Right) Side Only - Will Trade for Left!

    I was able to locate two Driver Side Ballistic Windshield glass units (PN 12339509) and am looking to trade one for a Passenger side unit (12339507). Because of the laminate on the inside, I do not want to reverse one and face the laminate outside. There are a couple posts discussing this, but I...

    1100 Series Roof Insulation Dimensions

    I picked up a new roll of roof insulation and am ready to cut to fit my M1165A1 REV Truck. Does anyone have a template or the dimensions they can share with me? I have one shot to get this right, so am hoping I get the correct measurements. Thanks!

    Moving Tachometer from a REV M1165 to an ECV Truck

    No prerequisites needed on the ECV truck? It never had a tach.

    Moving Tachometer from a REV M1165 to an ECV Truck

    What would be involved in moving the windshield-frame-mounted tachometer from a REV truck to an ECV M1165A1?

    M1165 Rear AC Rattle

    I unbolted it and lifted it to look underneath and it would only go up so far before putting too much stress on the AC lines. I blew some compressed air through everything to clear out some residual dust but was not able to tell if anything was broken. AC system is tight and full, so I want to...

    M1165 Rear AC Rattle

    Trying to identify this rattling noise coming from the Rear AC unit. The overall front and rear system blows cold and compressor runs fine. No leaks. Think it’s the blower motor? If so, can that be replaced without disturbing the refrigerant lines? See video for example of the noise:

    Bringing non-runner M1165A1 REV back to life!

    Yes, I lined the scribes up as with a new pump and it ran without blowing white smoke, but a little rough. I let it get to operating temp and adjusted the pump a hair to the passenger side and it sounds like a new truck. Slightly retarded, just like me.

    Bringing non-runner M1165A1 REV back to life!

    Yeah, the old pump was over 5° retarded, and with all the work they did to rebuild, it’s essentially a new pump and had to be timed as such.
