The Center Bore (CB) being exact is only truly important in vehicles with hub-centric wheels. This means that the wheel is centered by the hub itself. The biggest indicator of a hub-centric wheel is that it will have FLAT LUG NUTS. If you see flat lug nuts, then you need to make sure your wheels...

I've seen that Rubber Duck offers an "upgraded" ball joint in their Stage II Suspension Lift that corrects the geometry to allow for proper alignment. However, this is for a 4" lift. I'm not interested in going that tall.
For a 2" suspension lift. do the ball joints need to be...
Hey Matt,
Do you still have these, and do you know which part number they are?
If they're the right ones, and available, I'll take them.

I actually just ordered one of your Cooling Balance Kits last night/this morning. I'm looking forward to having it. It's the first actual solution to the overheating issues I've seen.
A few weeks ago, I got the ACs in my 2007 M1165A1 fixed, sealed, and running like a beast. However, I noticed that only one side of the Evap system has the fans running.
I've read all over, and some places say that both sides are supposed to be on any time the ACs are on. Other places have...
I have acquired all of the parts listed in the original post, and will be installing them tomorrow. Finally got the AC in the shop working as it is supposed to. (Two HVAC companies couldn't figure out that a 30A breaker isn't quite enough for a 10-Ton unit that pulls 33A-50A...)
Planning on...
Naaah, south is below San Antonio! And I'm definitely more east than south.
Weimar has all the humidity and heat of Houston, without any of the food or entertainment.

The comment about it being an upgrade for the pick-ups was anecdotal. There are actually several "companies" selling this same setup as a kit for the HMMWV and H1. But, they are charging between $600 and $2K for it. I have only found four (4) complaints about these "kits" and, as best I can tell...
What means did you use to cut down your fan?
The 251-603 Water Pump is designed for the later style, spin-on clutch, like the Hayden 2886. It does move the fan forward about 0.75", though.
Initially, I was thinking about putting a resistor in-line with the current thermal switch to bring the...
I have a 2007 M1165 non-REV that, true to form, is constantly running hot. Since I will not be putting JP8 or anything other than #2 Diesel in it, I'm looking to turn the temperature down a little bit. The coolant stack has been separated and pressure washed. I have installed a new 180-degree...
Mogman,
Agreed on changing all fluids and filters. That's what I'm working on.
So, I should disregard TM 9-2320-387-10 saying to use Dextron VI in the TCase and Steering, as well?

I've just picked up my new-to-me 2007 M1165 w/ SN 246658. I've been reading through TMs, and have found where some say, "Use only Dextron III. Using any other fluid will damage transmission." However, TM 9-2320-387-10 (Operator's Manual) says it should use Dextron VI.
I've spent the last 2.5...
Perhaps I'm just a blind moron, but I've been looking for this classified for the last hour and cannot find it! Can you PM me the URL? I'm planning on pulling it with my 5-ton, and all it will carry is my Jeep.
