I can now see how the Detroit is in a tough situation for cooling the air as it has the turbo that heats up the air then the roots blower. And it would only make sense that the cooling would be most efficiently done after the last addition of heat. So it sounds like the location of the cooler is...

Holy smoke this is all above my head. Although I didn't specify earlier the vehicle I was referring to is a M1070. So what I am gathering is that a factory water to air cooler is already under the blower. With all that you guys have said, would a typical air to air cooler for the turbo help at...

I know what a P.O.S. mirror is! but I think the PLS is supposed to replace to P.O.S.!

What is a PLS mirror?

I was wondering if there is a reason why the 8V92Ts don't seem to be inner cooled. I know that they are 2 strokes and also inherently require a supercharger just to run, so maybe its a 2 stroke thing? 500 hp from a 12 liter diesel without being inner cooled is rather impressive. Just wondered if...

I think you first need to set a budget, then set how much work your willing to do or pay someone to do. Anything 15 liters or less should fit as the 855 in the first models is about at that size. If you go computer controlled getting a package with trans, wiring and complete engine with the...

A lot of trucks, (maybe not military though) have an over ride like that so you can turn the fan on manually if you need to or are starting to go up a big hill etc. Another way to get around not using the shutter stat or whatever its called is to just install a typical automotive electric fan...

I dont know about going back to Oshkosh to be rebuilt, the only entity that can afford that is the Military. It would cost much more just to get it there and back then I paid for my whole M1070. But if it does have full coverage whip out that sticker for how much it cost new and fight. I...

I know its beating a dead horse and all the info may not be available but how can being rear ended at a stop be the stopped vehicles fault? Unless it turned into another lane or turned into oncoming traffic, in other words unless it cut in front of traffic. Before hearing this it was my...

Yeah but I was going to save me $600 in shipping!

I agree about the access of the M1070A1s lengthened hood. I have had my M1070 in my possession for about a week and I think its great but it wasn't built with the mechanic in mind! It has almost all the lack of front access of a cab over but with out the easy removal of a in cab engine cover...

Amen

I think thy look like they need radiator mounted condensers to finish off. Not sure.

Thats a point I can understand with the fan only coming on intermittently and only based on coolant temp. .The military did use some radiator mounted condensers latley in at least some of the Mraps. I bought a few complete core supports with inner coolers and condensers etc but they were built...

If your going to ditch the wrecker bed and if your not going to run a large displacement winch like the one on the M936s and just a knuckle boom crane, you don't need anywhere near the size of pump set that is on transfer case of the wrecker. You could use a bit larger pump thats on the...

I was planning on doing the same for my M931A2. Like the link to the other thread states, a lot of the typical over the road air bag system leaves a lot to be desired for off road. I have a complete 2000 freightliner with air bags that I could use but I think it would be a down grade. The...

I have 4 set ups of 6 seats each of those seat kits. The ****ed things almost killed me getting them home though. I broke down on the grape vine going back home over hwy 5 with a loaded trailer with four of those crates of seats among a lot of other stuff from Fontana. My 2000 Ford Powerstroke...

I gave up on putting A/C on my M931A2 or 936A for now.. But if there is an add on pulley I may change my mind. I am thinking my M1070 could use it more and that looks to be easier as there is already a fan belt for the 24V alternator that I could work off of. But still wondering why not run a...

It looks like to mount a belt to even run a compressor on an A2 you need part number 3908819. The rest would be just to fab up compressor mounts. I am not familiar with the HMMVEE kit but it looks to have a remote condenser unit with electric fans then a separate evaporator unit with blower an...

I like the exhaust with the vertical muffler, saves space under the cab. I still think the original short hood looks better but thats about it. No way to fit a C18 under it though.
