That’s good to know about the stickers. I’m looking at ones that are out of some national guard bases, would they have been been rebuilt too? If it’s a 1999, would it be rebuilt in 2009 and 2019!?

Maybe I should start a new thread for this but - the 6.5 motors made by GM with a GM sticker, v the GEP6.5…. Would the GM 6.5 potentially have the #8 cylinder issues? I believe the GEP motor would be considered superior???

would the 1097a2 also have this armor upgrade? And therefore crap suspension?

How did the suspension and steering compare? Braking? I had read that about the fan and it’s likely something I would do

Thanks coug. I am aware of the differences on paper, but not in real world “feel” or how that would translate to daily driving. I’d prefer another rev just for familiarity and parts but they are harder to find and more money.

I currently have and love a REV 1165. It’s my only experience driving these trucks. I’m wanting to get a second truck as a work and ranch vehicle. There are a lot more 1123s and 1097s at auction than any 1165s or 1152s, and they sell for less. To those who own or have driven both - how much...

That’s what I feared. I have threaded in two different fittings with a snug fit. Tried two kinds of sealants. Both leaked. Ugh

I have the same issue and cannot seem to get a water tight seal, while working only from the outside of this panel. move looked and cannot find a parts breakdown of the evaporator. Does this front plastic panel come off? So that I can get a water tight seal from the inside?

I have the geared fan drive, but thank you.

I’m serious. I get 8 mpg

How the heck are you getting 13 mpg!?!?

Can’t help with any dimensions, but please let us know how much this helped with noise, if at all. It may be my next addition if it’s worth it

Revisiting this thread only to state that: switching to synthetic oil has given me the best sound proofing results yet. Rotella T6 from wallyworld.

If you are staring from scratch, you could try vintageair.com

Could one realistically use the humvee as a whole house generator? Through the slave port!?
