That system has an electric heater water valve that is notorious for failing, many just replace it with a manual valve. It does sound like you have a short, it is time to download the AC schematics and start to troubleshoot the problem by disconnecting all the components and then re-connecting...

Where did you get the cup holders? Also I wonder if you can't just remove the energy absorbing mount??

Is this what you are talking about? Do a search for the part number and NSN number

Those things are usually VERY dependable as long as the float floats and moves on the shaft freely. It is simply a magnet that floats up and down on the shaft tripping reed switches connected to different values of resistors which are normally good for literally millions of "operations"

That was not a blowout, the truck was hit by a car that ran a stop sign.

The beauty of the clear coat system!

It was not bad, it did not do anything scary, I have been allot faster on scooters back in the day, the only thing crazy or maybe stupid was I still had the original 1993 tires on it. But I had just built it and wanted to see what it would do but had not changed the 3450RPM gov, so it would have...

I did the same thing with the eBay O rings that were too long, 2 out of the 8 had slow leaks, I have never had new red O rings leak.

Considering the amount of work is involved the 25 bucks or so the O rings cost is cheap insurance. Here is one source. https://www.hummerpartsguy.com/O-RING-WHEEL-RED-1650-RIM-12-OR-24-BOLT-A2M11XX_p_639.html Notice it lists the rims they fit, the early 12 bolt wheels are different.

It is best to replace it, if it looks OK (still round and not flattened) you can sometimes get away with it. ONLY use the o rings from folks like Kascar, HPG, AMG, they will be red, all the ones I have seen or tried from others are orange and are total crap and do not fit

No, there is a bead lock/run flat in the tire, you cannot change it with a machine, you MUST split the rim. Even if the run flat/bead lock was removed there is no "drop center" to allow the tire to be removed, no way around splitting the rim.

It is governed at 3450 under load and 4800 max braking, so at least valve float is not a problem at 4800. I have read several accounts where folks push them to 4500 with no apparent issues, but POWER/VS/RPM really starts to drop off at 3700 or so. I have not worked out the numbers but I have...

I started another thread, I do not want to hijack this one.

I was asked about the EGTs running a 475HP tune on another thread but did not want to hijack that thread so here is my answer. I could easily push them into the 1400s with the 475HP tune, With the 365HP tune and busting a 30-35mph head wind (20-30 is VERY common down here on the Coastal...

With a .8314 5th gear it will be buzzing along, with my .61 6th I am turning about 2250@80MPH, a quick cal. says you should be turning a little over 3000RPM, it should sound real nice!! I ran a 475HP tune and was not able to break anything, but it was just too much fun and it was going to get...
