Huge shout out to 74M35A2 he walked me through troubleshooting the system! Ok, it's all done. Wires, hoses, parts all where they should be. Had an issue with the crappy Chinese made manifold gauges I bought, but fixed them. At $125 for the set, they weren't exactly cheap, but obviously, not...

Jeez, what a great idea. I'm putting that on the list!

It is called determination, and I applaud him for it. And I applaud the guy who filmed it. One of the funnier things I have seen on FB lately.

FYI, I'm doing this because I could only find one thread on installing these. I know a dozen guys posted that they had done it, but didn't write it up. I had one post to read to help me with this, and that was from "Over". So, I'm putting out some mundane, but hopefully helpful info to the next...

Finished up wiring. I took my ignition wire on the AC switch harness and attached it to the wire labeled 5C coming off the fan switch. Put the multimeter on the wire to verify, then tapped into the line with the T-adapter included in the packet. Connected compressor wire to wiring harness and...

There is one wire I need help with. I need an ignition controlled positive wire (master controlled) in the Humvee, they used the fan wire, but i see there are about 4 or 5 wires coming off the fan. I need to pick a better hot wire, because I know one of these is set up for 12v, although I guess...

Mounted switch to transmission shifter bracket. Seems like a good spot. Wiring harness from switch will get routed under mat to the evaperator.

Mounted the compressor and cut hoses to length. Fitted hoses to fittings and tightened them on the compressor after I installed the hose bands. Make sure your hoses are all zip tied in place before you make this final cut. I do need to go through and add the spiral covering on any rub points...

Mounted belt tensioner. You can see how the arm is now about 100 deg CW from where it usually stops. This is from the new index hole I drilled about 100 deg clockwise on the plate. It makes a lot more sense once you have the part in your hand and see how it works.

Been reading up on charging, proper method of vaccuming down etc. lots of good info. Some really questionable info and some really blatant marketing BS. Which leads me to this question: Do I need to add oil to the compressor before I charge the system? I have no idea if there is oil in it or...

I placed an order for this vacuum pump and gauges today. Good reviews and seems to be what I need. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00SZ4QFW0/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1Y4RBJHD0SC34

Started the install of 74M35A2's bracket. After installing this I can't imagine why anyone would put the compresser on the other side. It's nice and handy and convenient right here. Easy install, good directions and support and advice, is a text away. Easy install, except ... the two Allen...

Got under truck, scoped out the area to drill holes to run hoses in/out of cab for evap. A lot of open space down there. Plenty of good options. So I drilled two 1.25" holes in floor close to shift lever/parking brake, to run hoses (I have two individual seats, not the stock passenger bench so I...

Edited; I figured it out.

Thanks Rob, unless I bugger one up, I should be ok. Good to know someone has your back in case of a mistake. The kit comes with 3 sections of hose a (crimp tool??) don't know what the little bands are called, and a hose cutter so you can cut hose to the exact length. Very handy. The only thing...

Ran #8 hose from engine compartment to condenser (to be hooked up to compressor when I install it. For now it's coiled up around the heater air intake) Then Ran #6 hose from condenser to receiver dryer. (Picture #2 is bottom of condenser with #8 coming in and #6 hose going out to dryer.)...

Yeah, they are nice! I used the stock seat spring base, which isn't too different from an air ride, not quite as good, but good enough for now. Corbeau seats (Moab style). $550/pair of so. Worth it.

Mount receiver dryer bracket in a convenient location. Make sure wires from condenser reach and you can get in there to attach hoses. Lube O-rings on pressure ports and install pressure switches. Makes no difference which port they go into. Wires will only go into their respective ports. I left...

Ha, thanks. Yeah. You should write the instruction manual. I did finally figure all of it out after I set the instructions down and picked up all the parts and went, oh, ok, that goes here and this connects to that. It's actually hard to put it together wrong 3 sizes of hose sort of force...

Anyone who has installed one of these, in anything, can speak up now! I think the directions assume some level of AC install experience, which I have none. Mechanically, I can see that a well trained monkey can put this together. Problem is I have not been well trained. Hey "Over", if you are...
