I just posted about this a few days ago. A 3/4" pex ball valve from home depot will drop right in and get you by. It will also help diagnose whether the valve is the issue or something else: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1151-front-ac-not-working-10-fix.211008/ The only thing that...

I could not sleep at night until that's fixed....

My EUC came back in exactly 2 weeks. My SF97 on the other hand was submitted about 30 days ago and still waiting.

Everyone wants a 4 speed transmission to go faster, but my m1151 with a 4 speed still has a sticker that says top speed is 55mph. Apparently the 4th speed is just there to keep your RPM's lower (or I suppose you might exceed 55mph if people are shooting at you.) My plan is to inspect all the...

Okay thats badass...you gonna do armored doors?

Wait, really? I have an ECV unit 258,XXX serial number, does that mean I have ABS? How can I verify?

In the past week I have swapped the old extended windshield wiper arms for new standard arms, installed brand new mirrors, fixed the air conditioning, serviced the battery terminals, bolted in one of the rear seats, got my speedometer working (it was just unplugged), fixed a headlight that was...

You know, that brings up an interesting point. With the new style, its either on or off, there is no in between. With the cable style, you can use it like a mixing valve. So by partially opening the valve you could allow a little heat into the system, giving you full control over the temperature...

Yeah, the actuator is definitely shot. The valve itself seems okay-ish, but it actually doesnt seal up all the way in the closed position. I completely removed it and moved it open and closed with my fingers. In the closed position I can still blow through it, so it will definitely let some...

I'm posting this in case it helps someone else. When I got my M1151 from gov planet it was listed as "AC compressor doesnt engage." To my surprise the compressor worked fine, but it only blew cold for the rear AC. The front AC blew at ambient temperature, gradually getting hotter as the vehicle...

Looks cool as hell though! I think that's all that matters.

New belt was visibly longer than existing belt, and went on without a hitch!

I got a new belt from Mac Motors today that is apparently 112" long. That's almost certainly longer than what was on there. We'll find out tonight if it fixes the issue!

I'm really thinking wrong belt. The routing diagram is right on the truck and it was definitely routed correctly.

I got the belt completely off, pulled it into a straight line and it measures about 54.25" long. So just over double that length puts it around 110" or so in circumference I suppose.

Its an M1151a1

This is how I received the truck from gov planet so who knows. I've only had it for a few weeks and the engine has run for a total of about 10 minutes.

Yes its on wrong because its not long enough to go on right. It was underneath of that idler pulley before I had the alternator fully bolted in. Dont worry I'm not running the engine this way.

Okay I checked the entire length of the belt and there are no markings. Picture of inside of belt attached.

As you can see, even after bypassing an idler pulley its still tight as a banjo string. This is with the alternator fully bolted in, and the tensioner barely has any travel left. I dont see any markings on the belt but I havent fully removed it to check the whole thing yet.
