Here is a thread from a few years ago with the same basic information and a few pictures https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?143059-Would-someone-mind-taking-some-pictures-of-their-A-C-brackets-for-me The brackets work great. Just be sure and use the proper size metric fasteners...

It isn't so bad from the inside. I drilled and tapped the frame to take a Jerry Can mount. Added tabs with tapped holes in them to bolt a HiLift on as well. Rigged up the spring loaded pin lock and holes for it. Then I drove with it for a week. No rattles, no visibility issues and it works...

Best answer is a maybe. Mainly due to tolerance variations when the truck was built and how the parts have worn over the years. You will find people that put 35's on a stock truck and it works. Others can trim a little off the cab side of the fenders and all is well. I had to add an ORD zero...

I have one that sat for years and smoked like crazy when we got it running again. It continued to blow blue/white smoke on start up out both sides the first start of the day for about 3 years. Never really used much oil, never used coolant and would go away quicker and quicker the more we...

I totally agree with all the post above about "new" not meaning it is good today. However, to try and help you get running now. Start with the basics. Does the pink wire when removed and put back on the top of the IP with the key on give you a click noise that you can feel if your hand is on...

Just use the puller shaft with a washer on it and turn the puller "block" to press the balancer on. It works fine.

ShootER, We must have been there together. I was an SMP/PFC '88-'89. I missed out on the Idaho drill due to my Reserve paper work from A&M not getting there in time. That really bummed me out. I cant believe Lt Smith made General. He was so soft spoken and laid back as a squadron leader...

Just for clarification. After you smelled smoke, you pulled the keys and only then did the starter start to run without you telling it to? When did the starter stop? Have you done the Doghead relay mod? I asked all of that because I think you have two or more separate issues. Drivers side...

I had a set on a M101A2 until just a few weeks ago. No plate. Brake cables did come real close. I actually was able to move them inboard just a bit to clear. They will work. However, a M101 with stock tires pulls empty like it isn't even there. Put the bias HMMWV tires on there and it feels...

1/124 Alpha troop. Armored Cav out of Waco. Oldag89 was in the same unit with me. We just didn't know each other then and have since met here on this website and at the Texas Rally's.

After driving back and forth all week to work. I really like the 4L80E/Compushift combination. I have never driven a stock 4l80E in any vehicle. So maybe they all work so well. Nice smooth shifts right when my mind without looking at any gauges says shift. It shifts. Same goes for down shifts...

Taking a factory hvac system from a civilian truck and putting it on a CUCV can be done. However, the firewall will have to be cut, wiring bus bars moved and maybe move the rear battery tray. Then you have to mount the compressor. Cost and work wise it could add up to more than one of the kits...

I am pretty sure the controller needs a constant 12 volt supply as well to keep its settings. The computer will also need a throttle position sensor signal to know when to shift gears. A 4L80E has 2 solenoids that control the 4 gears. Another solenoid controls the torque converter clutch lock...

Thanks for posting this. I started of in the Guard with the "slick 60." We were very pleased to get the oh so advanced M60A3 with it better targeting system and controls.

Every time I start the truck, the Throttle Position Sensor signal is out of range on the Compushift controller. I could go through the reset procedure and it will work ok. Until the next time I turned the truck on. Very aggravating. It is the TPS or the Compushift? Last Thursday I got...

Why are you wanting the lift? If it is just for show, then go find the cheapest thing you can and slap it on there. To fit bigger tires, then how big of tires are you going too? 33x12.50 tires will fit with no lift. Anything bigger and you start to get into the area where your axles will...

Ken, 38 days since I flew. I don't have any HMMWV engines here in my class right now. So I can't look at them and say for sure what year has the single rear main seal and which year is the 2 piece. I think 1988 was the switch over year. But it could be when GM went to the 6.5 in 1993. I...

I think I figured a few things out. I was panicking about engine coolant temperatures over 210°. GM made fan clutches that locked up enough to be heard at around 225°. The GM manuals say anything below 230° is ok. The 30 year old Banks Turbo manual says anything below 220° is ok for a 6.2...

Another week or so and time for another report. Warthog emailed last Friday morning that he was doing a hurry up trip to my area and I invited him over. He showed up with parts! Nothing better for us mentally deranged gear heads than a visitor showing up with parts. Thanks Joe. He actually...

There are many threads about how to do it, who makes the kits and what works best. Basically, if you just want add on a/c with hot air still coming in through the floor heater vent and defrost vents, go with the NAP kit. I have it in one of my M1009's and it works great. 38°-42° air at the...
