The new NBC show “The Hunting Party” has a GMV driving around almost every episode at their “base”.

Dang it, I meant TTA

This is the hardest part to find actually - that’s the turret adapter ring. You are now set to install an 11 series turret. If you are in the parts manual, the UOC code for for 1151a1 is “XBB” - that’s the one you need. Pics of example ( #15 is the ring in yours) The bearing bolts to that, then...

I’ll do my best to describe why - The front evaporator (looks like a radiator) and heater core (also looks like a radiator) share the same air housing - so the valve turns off the super hot water going to the heater core. If the valve is failed, air is going across the heater core before it hits...

Agree with Coug here - mine was deteriorated inside so even when manually closed it allowed hot water into the heater core, making front a/c blow hot. As long as your a/c is charged and pressures are good, it’s working.

Not sure how much this will help.

Yeah, I have them in my truck now. I have a gmrs radio in one - works through the vic3.

Yes - call them. They are helpful and what they tell you isn’t always true, but eventually they get it done. My first one sat because the year model from the auction didn’t match their sf97, and it was sitting on someone’s desk waiting for them to do something about it. Eventually (like 6...

I agree, you can test for it. I had a similar situation with a 1097a2, replaced the wait light assy and it functioned as intended after that so they do go bad. The service TM gives instructions on replacing it which includes removing the dash panel, I was able to loosen the left side and wiggle...

I guess it’s ibis tek then - would be more appropriate for my truck they way it sits, but it originally had fixed. The guy I got my armor from is developing a repro armored windshield set that utilizes normal glass but still looks armored. Eventually someone is going to have to come up with...

FYI there’s a complete set for sale right now for 4K, so maybe that’s more realistic? But I think like the others that this truck could be a builder.

Just my experience but the 1165 top and curtain is pretty valuable, I’ve seen them listed for 5-6k over the last year- not sure if they sold? But if it’s a buddy make him trade you something really good plus cash. lol.

So there are 2 generally available - ibis tek and fixed. Honestly both seem like terrible options, all of the ones I see are incomplete or the glass is either broken or hazed over. Who has done this and what’s your experience? Here are pics of my trucks current status, sides are armored but the...

This should help.

I’ve had both and to me the rev truck seems to ride better and is more enjoyable as built (the fan/cooling difference is huge). But I like them original - it’s easy to upgrade that stuff, but since you have a gmv I’d keep it original. Don’t migrate stuff from a gmv to an 1165, that makes no...
