These are HID but I would be willing to bet you could get LED replacement lamps for the housings and just remove the igniters. At this price - buy two sets and have spare parts. Literally all the bulbs in all 14 of the HID lenses are the same. If you buy an extra set you now have 14 spare bulbs...

I would be guessing if I said yes but it looks like that's probably correct - easy enough to disconnect one from the tank to measure..... I pulled them and took them to a local supplier and had them build the hoses with crimp couplers like the originals. I had them add about 4" for shrinkage on...

Build new hoses all the way to the tank. At least in the case of my A1R you have to pull the tool box to get at them and that means lowering the spare, etc. It's not as difficult as it looks though. On my C7 the short hose from the filters to the engine was wet right after I got the truck so I...

Your fuel hoses are probably shot. Here's one off my 2008 A1R:

I get that shipping is expensive but you are talking about a $14k kit in 2016 $. That's probably $20k in todays $. Shipping sucks but it doesn't suck $15k

These are AWESOME!!! CLICK FOR VIDEO: https://photos.app.goo.gl/rmbxYrn9by8ScdtQ7 They will go fast so PM Third From Texas if you are interested. The price is absolutely amazing and the quality of these kits is absurd. Last price I can find from 2016 is $13,867 to Uncle Sam...... The...

It's essentially irrelevant unless it occurs at 3am (and even then...). If it's strong enough to affect vehicles then the roads will be absolutely clogged with dead vehicles and paranoid/desperate/hostile people. Getting an FMTV through that mess is absolutely not happening. As I have said - if...

The transmission has an engine coolant heat exchanger and it's overall temp should closely track with the engine coolant temp. Could be a bit higher under some circumstances but generally speaking it's going to be coolant temp or lower.

It is obvious from his posts if you look at them (there's only 42) that he hasn't purchased any military vehicles recently and only drove/owned an M35 quite a few years ago that he bashed around in the woods but didn't (in my opinion) find the limits of (I have much experience in the M35 and...

The upper sway bar bushings are a BEAR to replace with new ones. Might not be an issue to bolt/unbolt it with the old bushings but new ones are an absolute MONSTER to get the bolts back in.

M1084 is the MTV cargo with MHE - that what you are referring to? Being an MTV it doesn't suffer from the steep rear driveline angle, only the front. Which again - really not that significant of an issue if attention is paid to balancing and maintenance. Get a C7 truck if reliability is your...

I have not noticed that, no. It takes a bit of time for the ducting and such to cool down if you switch from heat to cold. With the engine not running and the fan not blowing can you hear the actuators for the temperature, fresh/recirc, and vent/defrost-heat control knobs? You should be able to...

The later trucks used the intermediate MTV axle for the rear axle on the LMTV and eliminated much of the driveline angle problem. If the drivelines are serviced and balanced it's really not an issue. The u-joints are cheap - often about $40 to $60 in the surplus market - and can be considered a...

Well - the win with the factory unit is that the AC occurs before the heater core. So you first cool the air and drop it's dewpoint so the water falls out of it as condensation and is collected and allowed to drain from the unit. Then the SAME air is sent through the heater and heated so you...

Anyone on the fence on cab AC - DO IT!! I figured it would be the case, but I can confirm absolutely that the AC makes the defrost about 1000% better. No more fogged windows! Imagine totally clear windows even in the wettest conditions. Fogged windows are a huge annoying problem on these...

Looks the same to me. Get the harness from Tom that I linked above.

Show us the connections at the back..... but given that the Gen 2 basically plugged into the existing heater wiring and then only required the AC harness I linked to above I wouldn't think the Gen 1 would be any different. The AC harness has a 24v lead from the PDP (I ran mine to the 24v main...

I doubt the wiring is any different. I would recommend you just get the harness from Tom: https://lmtvtrucks.com/AC/index.html I posted the trinary switch pinout in my AC installation post in case you desire to change that out for a different model like I did.

Sadly I think you will find the tires are flat spotted and ultimately on their way to being rotten - the vibration comes and goes as a result of the flat spots aligning or opposing and canceling each other out. My 2008 tires did this trick but did round back out and stop after daily driving my...
