I know enough to be dangerous with HVAC - I own a repair/performance shop and so to buy refrigerant and legally work on AC systems in vehicles you must complete SAE training to get the license or they won't sell you the stuff (in bulk anyway - you can buy small cans over the counter but not the...
I don't think they worried about low pressure - they may have wanted the system to run even if it was slightly low on charge. But that's just a guess. I guess it could be a binary switch but I don't have any evidence one way or the other without asking Red Dot besides the nomenclature not...
I went with a more common trinary switch threaded into an adapter w/shrader on the drier. The stock military system has seperate fan switch and high pressure switch. I don't think the original systems had low pressure switches. The new systems in the A1P2's have intelligent monitoring boxes that...

Very similar. And not that far off from the $1550 shipped I paid for the correct cab unit. They have gone up this year and as we get closer to summer..... it's a supply and demand thing. That RedDot unit may be $600 cheaper than current asking price for the military unit but the supply likely...

Yeah the prices have gone up. Even just since the 1st of the new year. I figured this was going to happen with everything going on in the world so I ordered all my components in December and total price shipped was $3,994 for literally everything - I spent another $160 on a hose crimper and I'll...
The gen 2 FMTV unit is rated at 33,300 BTU's according to Tom at Waterloo Specialties:

He must be experiencing quite a high demand since the gen 2's are temporarily out of stock along with several other components.
The stock system (or at least the...
Tom is a member here and has all the parts. You only need to make up your hoses:
There may be a wait on some items. Get them while you can before summer. I have almost everything and Tom has been great to work with. Good prices too if you compare to what others are asking...
