I figured out that my condenser fan pressure switch on the dryer is bad. If I jump the purple wires together the fans run all the time ( which isn’t the worst thing). I need a new pressure switch but I have to idea how to find the correct one. No numbers on it at all. Does anyone know what will work?

Is this a factory system such that part numbers will be in the TM?

What is your truck serial number? If it's a TM part I will need the serial number to look it up.
Thanks!
It is a factory red dot gen2

Just making conversation but I just added A/C to my LMTV and you can get an evaporator for a BUS off of ebay which has the housing and blower motor, just remove the housing and fan and use the evap/heater core with expansion valve(all one piece) fits directly in the stock location of your LMTV, or least it did on mine which is a 2001. Just cut two holes for the a/c lines and keep the same heat core lines and it all looks original.

Sounds awesome, can you share some pictures?

I see several on eBay for quite reasonable.
I ordered the above switch from ebay. The pressure ranges were not exactly the same as my original but close enough for me to take a chance. Well, the electrical connection is slightly different so I didn't install it. I have been searching for several weeks now for the correct switch, Red Dot schematics, SS, FB and still haven't found the correct one. Maybe I am just searching in all the wrong places. (Hey could be a song).

Attached is a couple of photos of the inop switch, OFF 370 psi ON 263 psi. I installed the R-5760 unit back in 2019 and it has worked well since. I don't know if it is Gen 1 or 2, I don't know what the differences are. Looking for help.

Interesting - have you considered reaching out to Red Dot and asking them?
