    It just mounts in the fender, there are no seal, the fender cutout is intake, the fans pull the air down and exhaust out the back after the plastic cover is installed.

    Red Dot A/c Question

    Or change the belt and add the non-AC pulley back into the syste. simplicity would depend on what version of serpentine you have. On the old style serp, they add the compressor, a red dot specific idler pulley and longer serp belt.

    Axle broken? M998 front wheels not turning in shallow snow

    if you had a broken HS before you got stuck, your truck would have to had been in HL already or you would never have made it out of your driveway to get stuck. if you broke a shaft, going into HL would allow you to operate the truck...so, none of this makes sense.

    How difficult is it to find a complete Turret for M1045A2?

    It’s amazing how many buy these trucks and than decide to research prices on all the missing stuff such as turrets, c-pillar bars, doors, only to find they are in high demand and short supply.

    Anyone know where I can find this hood and scoop?

    just removed one off a customers truck, these POS block 2/3 of Airflow...anyone with eyes can see that. the problem is low speeds and around town where temps are highest. Temps are not an issue cruising down the freeway.

    Rear fender condenser to Red Dot install thread

    I only know of the bracket as I’ve seen them in the newer trucks, don’t have a part number, it mirrors that area with 4 riv nuts on the plate, one could make one pretty easily

    Utah HMMWV recovery, Helmet Hard top install, and build.

    The main reason for no mix and match is load range D and E tires, D’s should not be on a 12.3 GVW truck. there are 2 versions of 24 bolt rims too, even and staggered stud, staggered are for the M1151 heavys. i see no reason you can’t mix and match rims on our unladen trucks.

    Newer trucks use a captive nut plate for the fording exhaust, the Condensor bracket you Seek is in the TM and orderable from Mac motors There are left of lefts of this bracket, so get the correct one... makes no difference where your drier is located. Red dot puts the high and low switch on the...
