SFC Deal I am sure the RV air conditioner would work. After they up armored the M998 and you couldn't put the windows down roof top units were added. I was trying to keep the look as close to original also, but I'll admit at times I was really frustrated with the PITA it was. I thought...

I don't know if you considered making the bracket yourself or if you don't have the time/tools I would try to find a decent metal/welding shop. When I did my reconfig to keep the twin alt and add the compressor I needed some fab work done. Don't recall the exact price I paid but he really...

Installed cab lighting...the middle lamp is LED and wired 12V to work off installed door pillar switches. It has a red, white and off position. The fixture has two outlets which can provide 12V if desired. I wired two more outlets to feed 24V for the cockpit lights. If you spent any time...

Thats very cool! Much easier to not have to mess around reconfiguring the batteries to fit the evap. So when swapping over they eliminated the single 200A alt and replaced with two 100A?? Or is it now 1 200A but straight 12V? good luck

11K BTU is not even 1 ton of cooling! Too little if you consider the incredible heat load you are trying to offset; no insulation in floors or roof; color of vehicle; solar load through the many windows, heat gain from engine, tranny, exhaust pipes, road surface. For consideration the old A6...

Insta cling dark tint Dave Have you used this on top of regular tint? How long have you kept it on your tint if you have used on top of? I have a couple rolls of this in the garage but weary to use it. Don't want it to stick and damage my regular tint. Thanks

Obviously, I went the red neck way too except I did it for the alternators. Just a thought depending upon how you are setting up the evaporator -- if I had to do it again I would probably have swapped both alternators to the drivers side not passenger side. If you put the compressor where the...

One latest recommendation I just retrofitted in after I took those pixs. before you seal up the system add in a liquid line filter (not accumulator-filter/dryer). These don;t have desiccant only screens. This way in the case that the compressor explodes it won't destroy the condenser and force...

Cool. Good luck! My question for C60 and you is with the compressor over-under and not moving the rear battery how do you fit the evaporator? Make sure when you start putting everything together you use a new compressor. Don't bother with a reman since if you use a parallel flow...

M1009 with "factory" air and dual mil alternators More...with my configuration had to custom make the suction and discharge lines. Also stubborn micro leak always had me stumped for a long time. Think I finally figured it out. No matter how many low pressure switches I swapped out always had...

Sorry thought I had posted pix long ago... Interior shots just show the vents. Had to lose the radio mount I had on the dash to make room for the vent. Had to move the volt meter too. Skinny is right about the cab insulation. Made a big difference in both interior heat and sound. Still...

more towing I have have had very good results with my 1009. I don't tow regularlly, and generally use the CUCV as my daily driver. But knowing that I move every few years I rely on the CUCV when we relocate. I have guages installed so that I can watch my oil, water, and tranny temps. I also...

Thanks! Yeah I got the SW TypeII and a standard gun was fine. Just steel wooling was fine to rough up the surface. It came out great and am really happy that I finally got to that project. Its been a little while now and unfortunately two spots need to get redone on the tailgate. Not the...

Back to R12 Freon Sorry for the delay. Been offline for a while. After many tries last summer with 134, then a propane/butane mix I gave up and redid the system back to R12. That worked! Amazing the system works as designed with the proper working fluid. That is the only thing I will go with...

I was stubborn and intent on making the original system work. I burned up 4 - 5 starters all in a row. To include the scary runaway at leas twice. Thank goodness the fusible links cooked. It was odd since I had used the truck with no problems for two yrs then snap relay problem. No matter what...

Bracket Still Available? Unfortunately, I discovered my bracket was missing too late. One broken bolt. Hopefully, nothing worse. If still available please let me know your paypal address. PM sent. Thanks

Sgt LongT I have read on the glass spheres and it sounds promising. I was just conflicted about the inhalation hazard, self mixing and how much to use. It just seemed easier to go old school and use standard insulation. I am exceptionally satisfied after I was done and worried that if I went...

wrapping a/c drier and hoses The fresh air inlet valve is located under the grate where the wipers arms are and is right above the evaporator core/blower motor. You won’t have any problem with drawing engine compartment air into the cab. >>>Where exactly? I pulled the grate off looking for any...

R12 in a CUCV ODFever I highly recommend the insulation. The more the better. LMC has a sound deading kit and top it off with the heat insulation kit. I added another 96 cu ft of heat insulation on top to cover the rear cargo area and any extra I put on top of the insulation in the passenger...

yes tint Dave, Thanks. Yes, after I finally got the insulation in I was planning on going as dark on tint as I can. As much as I hate to violate the CUCV the thermal radiant heat loading is terrible and I need to do something. I had a vehicle many years ago that was white and had dark tint...
