According to HPG, it appears a factory H1 AC condenser may mount up to the cooling stack on the HMMWV. Can anyone here confirm? Still trying to resolve how to install AC hidden in our center console without adding dual fender condensers. Options thus far:
1. Keep the radio rack and center...
Does anyone know if the Red Dot ProTecht diagnostic units can be added to older model Red Dot evaporators, or if they only work with certain models? Will Red Dot even provide literature on older units?
Has anyone here successfully installed this system? Any fitment issues, does it cool well, etc.? I posted a similar question on one of the Facebook forums about a year ago and all I heard was "the kit is crap" and "install is a pain" with no real data, photos, or backup for any of those...
I was referring to the whole heater assembly with blower. Mac Motors has it for $956 which is the best I’ve found. They also appear to have the best price on the core only at $382, but my heater housing is rusted clean through.
Do you know if those are the newer style rear fender kits or the ones that mount on the rear curtain? I couldn’t tell from photos. My best bet may be to just buy the inside and outside components I already sold for the rear curtain and connect to my existing compressor.
My housing has been rigged together with caulking and rivets by a previous owner. I think I’d destroy it to undo what they did and get the core in it unfortunately.
I would need the rest of a system first. Sold the rest of our Red Dot components when we converted to 4 door config. In retrospect, I should’ve just fixed what needed fixing and extended the hoses to our new steel rear curtain. Would’ve been ALOT cheaper. Good to know one unit holds up...
Have a bad heater core on our 1123 and have been debating between replacing the entire core and blower assembly that HPG sells ($1,300 ouch!) or installing the Restomod Air kit…. Which is even more $$$! Have heard some love the Restomod kit and others hated it and told me it was junk. Looked...
The parts manual calls out 7/16-13 bolts for the outside of the geared hubs where you would mount CTIS covers or the rear brackets. See part 36 in the photo. I've misplaced some of ours and can find 7/16-14 all day long but haven't located any in 13 TPI. Was this a HMMWV specific specialty...
Great info. Thank you. The 11.00R20 was our original preference, but when we found the Waterloo power steering kit discontinued, Boyce appears to be the only option, and they claim to require their custom wheel for clearance. Not sure we have an option, IF we want power steering. Trying to...
What is the consensus on 900 vs 1100 vs 395 tires? Some say the larger units eat bearings and brakes. If you stay with 900s or 1100's is power steering really necessary. Waterloo doesn't sell their kit anymore so it looks like Boyce is the only source these days.
Are the lockers necessary if you're not bobbing it or doing extreme off-roading? Boyce recommended the 395 85 R20 MRAP tires. Trying to keep the multifuel motor, but I'm sure the 6BT would have more grunt.
Looking into purchasing an M35A2 to set up as a private brush/wildland truck for ranch use. The fire apparatus ideally will be built on a skid and be self contained and placed into the bed via forklift when needed. We will not be bobbing the truck, and would like to maintain registration and...
Yes, I guess that makes sense if its a flow through electric pump. I have other theft deterrents in places, so that isn't the primary goal by any means though. Thank you
I know many may claim hogwash, but I've legitimately been through two factory correct mechanical lift pumps from a reputable HMMWV parts supplier in 2 years. An acquaintance who owns ALOT of heavy diesel equipment says he suspects the ultra low sulfur diesel is degrading the diaphragm in the...
Can’t seem to find anything in the Texas area at any price. Have also been looking for a 1009 to add to our collection for over a year. Not finding anything other than rotted basket cases.
I’ve seen where some of you have installed fuel pressure gauges on the top port of the filter housing, and have figured out how to do that, but I’ve also seen photos of some secondary oil pressure gauges installed right behind the drivers side valve cover. Has anyone here done that, and can...
