You are sure it is burning oil? There is always the chance you have an issue with the injectors or injection pump.
What color is the smoke coming out the exhaust?
Riv nuts with countersunk screws would likely be the best solution.
For my 2 man top I used a sheet of FRP (Fiberglas Reinforced Plastic), cut out holes for the roof straps to go through, and called it good.
Only possible issue I see is with using a solid mounting method you are more...
I did this type of install a few months ago and have some pictures from it in this thread:
https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/rear-fender-condenser-questions.195910/
Not the cleanest install, but it works very well (if weather is below 80 I have to run the heater as well to keep from...
I don't have any pics, mine is a 2 man truck.
The piece that goes on the fender is

and picture of everything will be in the TM on the page I mentioned above. Not the best picture mind you, but hopefully someone else can show some pictures of theirs.
Do you mean that the footman loops you are looking for don't go on the bed, or that you don't have the ones that go on the bed? I'm guessing this is for a 4 man? The 2 man only has them at the outside edges.
Here is the one that goes on the floor in the bed area for the 4 man top rear...
Back when I did my "red dot - fender condenser aircon" install I replaced almost every hose, fitting, and O-ring. The only thing I didn't replace was the high pressure port.
Guess what decided to leak?
Drained down the system today (slowly, so it wouldn't dump a lot of oil) and replaced that...
oh? What type of solution?
Cutting one in half and adding a sleeve to make it longer is one possibility, but only if you are a certified welder or know one, otherwise starts getting cost prohibitive.
If you run out of other options:

List price $120, plus whatever freight is.
Matches the NSN for A0 and A1 HMMWVs in the -24. Only issue we've been having with that site is sometimes they're slow to actually build the...
Checking the parts manual, for the A0-A2 trucks there were 2 part numbers for the radius rod assembly. One covered almost all the trucks, the other was just for the M997 and 1097, everything else was covered under the other part number.
So either they have updated it to an assembly with a...
You mean like this one?

I don't know the length, and a part number for just the sleeve doesn't come up in the parts manual, but I'd trust HPG to give me the right part or take care of it if it is somehow wrong.
That I'm not sure of. I know from watching the manifold during filling that when the fans on the condenser kick on, the pressure drops, as the refrigerant is a gas in most of the system. Temp/pressure are directly related for gases. I couldn't tell you if it controls the compressor or not...
So the trucks that have these factory installed use the passenger side condenser for the AC built into the dash/heater core area. The driver's side unit is for a rear AC that sits between the rear seats on a 4 door truck. From what I can tell they are both run to a single compressor, so if you...
So I spent the extra money and installed a fender mount condenser.
But that is because I treat my M1123 like it's made of Legos. I switch between 2 man pickup, 2 man troop carrier, 4 man helmet hardtop (tall version), and most recently it's been a 2 man with BEOD (Body, Explosive Ordnance...
I had the same thoughts, if you can't tell then likely something is wrong.
Even running AC on high, having the BEOD (large box basically) on back of the truck, and towing a loaded DRASH type trailer at 65-70mph the fan comes on, runs a minute or so, then goes back off for a few minutes. If...
Going off what Katavic is asking, you can ONLY use 16.5" tires on 16.5" rims. DO NOT try putting them on any other rim size, as that is dangerous. I doubt you could find a shop willing to do it anyway due to liability. (16.5 is a 16" size, not a 17" anyway, just different bead and seating than...
If you buy a different type of rim, then you just go with tires that work with those rims.
You don't HAVE to have any of the military wheel/tire stuff if you don't want to.
With aftermarket rims you do NOT need any run flats, bead locks, bolts on the rim (unless they are made that way) or...
So you said 400 amp service, but a 150 amp inside sub panel (fed off a 200 amp breaker in the main panel)
If you want to transfer the entire 400 amp service, yes, you need a 400 amp transfer.
However if you just want to transfer the 150 amp sub panel, then a 200 amp could be used instead.
Or...
I would say you should charge them up above 12.6 before doing a load test, as 12.3 is nearly a dead battery, but other than that I agree. 6 month warranty on the 6T is stupidly short, and if the manufacturer actually believed in their quality it would be at least a year or two full coverage and...
Most people say go with the 6T from NAPA if being cheap, or spend the big bucks on the 6TAGM.
Reality is, as long as the CCA is above what the 6T is designated at, and has a decently large reserve capacity, you can use pretty much anything that will fit in the truck.
Military likes huge...
When I first got my truck I tossed in an old pair of batteries just to move the thing around. 650CCA each I believe. During startup it would go up into the red for a little bit before settling back down where it is supposed to be. It stopped doing that when I put in new, higher capacity...
