    2002 M1123 6.5 Oil Filter Housing Gasket & Oil Cooler Gasket

    I’m not sure if I’m understanding your Question correctly, but the 90* adapter that the oil filter screws to has a set of gaskets. I bought this kit from HPG. I don’t believe the “kit” is a military part as I couldn’t order it from Mac motors. $15 from HPG. My leak below

    Ball Joint Boots

    Anyone with more knowledge of hummers know if these boots will fit the newest style Ball joint? The Links below show the correct part number ball joint for my truck, a REV 1165a1. But the parts manual does not list the boot, only that it is part of a complete ball joint kit. Says in the...

    A/C Diagnostic help

    I could easily be looking at this wrong, but it looks to me like the blower resister only affects the front blower through wire 399, and the rear gets it power from wire 435- unaffected from the resister? again I don’t have enough experience to know if the rear evaporator blower should go to...

    A/C Diagnostic help

    I did get the 40 degree temp about of both evaporators. Maybe there’s where I’m confused now. The image above, right side, line item 8 says 5lbs 8oz of refrigerant. So perhaps I’m high, not low? but as a general automotive question, the guy at the AC shop wouldn’t need to know that amount...

    A/C Diagnostic help

    That would be frustrating, seeing that I’ve had it back to that shop twice. If that’s the problem I’ll have to take it somewhere else. is this the best page the manual? I guess I don’t understand how they measure the weight of the refrigerant? Is it possible to know how many pounds are in...

    A/C Diagnostic help

    I think you’re onto something. Because if I cycle the AC off then immediately back on, it blows again. I’ll have to figure out what’s causing it, and then order all the parts with my new valve to save on shipping! lol

    A/C Diagnostic help

    So the last issue I am having with my AC, may not be an issue at all. It pertains to the rear evaporator like in the 1165 and 1151. It will randomly shut off(stop blowing air) and then start back up again 30 seconds, a minute, some short time later. The front evaporator blows as normal during...

    A/C Diagnostic help

    Well I went to Lowe’s and bought a 3/4” Pex B valve that works perfectly. So the one from rock auto I bought must be defective. PS Pex A valves are too big. You want Pex B

    A/C Diagnostic help

    So are you saying mines on the wrong hose or on the wrong side of the elbow? I installed it exactly where the other one was, but I’m replacing the newer electric controlled valve with the manual one.

    Hot & Cold air simultaneously from fron A/C vents

    Like blowing on it? Good idea, but I did not. But I did notice it was a strange valve in general. My post from another thread: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/a-c-diagnostic-help.220440/page-4#post-2611083

    A/C Diagnostic help

    It’s the value in my post 66. Maybe it needs to be banded all the way closed? Idk- but as is it doesn’t work. Bought it from rock auto.

    A/C Diagnostic help

    I installed my valve. No cable yet. But it seems to let fluid through, even when shut. I stupidly ordered thenone At idle, My front ac is only cool while the rear unit is cold. with any rpm the front begins to heat up real quick while the rear stays cold. so I’m guessing it’s a bad valve...

    A/C Diagnostic help

    I received my valve in the mail. Is it normal for the thing to go past its “full open” and then restrict flow again? One pic is the max open the valve will actually be. Other pick (less daylight) is when the lever is all the way to open

    I’m pretty sure there are clamps there already. Holding in the valve that went bad.

    Hot & Cold air simultaneously from fron A/C vents

    Did that one work with the cable? I still need to replace mine with the manual cable style. someone else had tried a cheaper valve, said it didn’t work.

    M1167 A/C trouble shooting

    Im attaching an Air Conditioning manual that I found in another thread. I have either insufficient or intermittent cooling. I suspected it was a lack of refrigerant so I started there and I added some from a little can. The gauge on it was kind of crappy but, it did show me low. I wasn't...

    M1167 A/C trouble shooting

    Would a failed thermostat switch cause the delayed/ intermittent cooling I experienced?
