Replaced a bad heater control valve on my M1165A1. The front vents blew hot air on A/C which got hotter as the engine warmed up.
An annoying job in some many ways! First, I order the replacement part for $213, only to find it on ebay for $65 after it arrived. Aaargh. Then the replacing took 3x as long as it should. I thought I could simply swap out the bad solenoid but it turned out to be easier to swap the whole assembly since the old hoses were worn out.
But the good news is the A/C now blows ARCTIC in the cab. I had all the windows and my turret open on an 85 degree day and I was cold with the A/C running!
