After mounting 4 of the tires I noticed the rings cast in the tires just outside the bead area are not even all the way around, so I put one on my test rig and sure enough the tire I tested was out of round coinciding with the "error" in the bead seating, so now I have to assume all the hell I...
Welcome to the SS forums and congratulations!
You will find many folks here to help you.
The first thing I would do is change all the fluids and filters, and download all the applicable TMs available here.
I get my glass from AMG, although it has gone up quite a bit lately...
Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason for anything that happens to a HMMWV, you are going to have to troubleshoot any issues as they pop up.
It could be that one of the components in the fan clutch circuit failed or not....
I made some progress today.
I had scored seven 24 bolt paired rims from beltfed, today I used a 90 deg taper milling bit to chamfer 4 of the 24 mounting holes on each rim, assembled them with tapered lug nuts and put them on my test rig and measured the radial runout of each rim.

Here is the manual valve, if you want to source one yourself (universal) the hose is 5/8" get some good quality hose also because I think the electric valve is longer so the hoses may be short even if they are in good cond.

Many have installed a manual valve, no need to disturb the AC at all, it is in the hoses in front of the engine side of the fire wall on the passenger side, If it were me I would just use an earlier version valve which is cable controlled or can be switched manually under the hood.
The issue with Yermo tires is they have permanent flat spots from sitting in the desert that just will not clear up no matter how far you drive or how good they look.
Nice truck! from what I hear you can count on replacing the tires right off on any truck out of Yermo, evidently sitting in the desert kills them, and many of the rubber parts like hoses etc.
Well we all assume it is a HMMWV, I am going to guess you have a M1097R1 with a GVWR of 10,000lb by the serial number, this makes a significant difference.
BTW your truck is really not a 2007, it was rebuilt to M1097R1 standards in 2007, most likely it started as a 1980s/early 1990s M998
SO...
That contactor going bad is a fairly common issue, post a picture of the data tag on your PCB box as it may be on of the ones that should be replaced because of its age.
You will eventually have issues with the rest of the box but might get a few more years out of it, there are other options...
