    The price of a/c

    I've seen those Red Dots offered on the civilian market. They go for more than double what you paid (Global has been out of them for months). That is just the interior cab kit, if I recall. Another option (what I'm looking to do on my new truck) is to keep the stock heater and add the AC to...

    Replacement seat options

    I'm actually running the A1-R seats. They were changed to a suspension seat design opposed to having a steel plate under your butt. They are quite comfortable and I honestly won't be changing a thing. But the OEM seats prior to these were rubbish and feel like brick as I'm sure you know...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    That should be correct. I looked at those as a direct replacement for the OEM. Fortunately, I didn't need to get one yet as my issue was resolved by Andy sending me a takeoff plunger to rebuild my old one. I suppose you could still make it on/off/automatic with a 3-way toggle switch (same...

    LOL, I should have made that more clear. It's "dangerous" when I start thinking... ;)

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I was thinking (dangerous).... It might be handy to have Auto/Manual On/Manual Off (ei: fording) all one one toggle.

    Fan Clutch Solenoid issue

    Mine was metal-to-metal in the "rest" (sprung) position. I could tell that the little metal "tit" had at some point been coated with rubber(?) to secure a seal. It's the lack of said rubber seal that I assume is allowing air to be escaping when the fan engages and when the truck power is shut...

    Fan Clutch Solenoid issue

    Mine does indicate 24v on the OEM Burkert. Though I have not put a meter to the power yet. I'm waiting to head out to the Island for some beers in a couple hours, so I thought I would give the plunger a shot at a "professionally resurfacing". LOL EDIT: Just a temporary fix out of...

    Fan Clutch Solenoid issue

    I may take you up on that plunger if I can't sort something out. So looking 3-ways, you think something along these lines would work? "NITRA solenoid valve, 3-port (3-way), 2-position, N.C., single solenoid spring return, (1) 1/8in female NPT inlet(s), (1) 1/8in female NPT outlet(s), (1) 1/8in...

    Fan Clutch Solenoid issue

    Anyone have a lead on a PARKER 8204 0459-45 24V-DC SOLENOID VALVE D445718 ? My OEM Burkert coil functions but the rubber has finally degraded off completely on the bottom side of the plunger. Now it just dumps air each time the fan comes on (annoying, but functional) and then bleeds the wet...

    What tire pressure do you use in M1078 ?

    I did the 10-minute $10 mod and run at 75psi. It allows me to still take almost full advantage of all the off-road settings (I do a lot of sand crawling). I'm also quite pleased with the reduced front tire wear as a result of the extra pressure...
