    Humvee M1152 ac problem

    if The blower is working on heat but not AC? It’s not the blower…it’s the same blower. I had a truck in from DOE that did this and it was the EESS box was bad, also seen similar issues due to chafing on the body harness due to the 400amp generator. You need further TS to isolate.

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    The stock springs on the m1165A1 are perfectly fine IMO…the variable rate rears are the same as what’s in an H1, the fronts have 2k rated springs. The only person making springs worth a sh*t is Mike Hoffman out in Chicago. As far as your Cepek adjustable shocks? Don’t waste your money…but your...

    brake shudder question

    Brake shudder from the rears after new pads and rotors is quite common, it’s a real PITA to convince customers after spending a bunch of money this is normal…beveled edge on pads is some help, but unfortunately with these floating pads and a job done correctly, it just takes time to burnish them...

    SOLVED! The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    You said these are cheap amazon Glow plugs, Have you metered all the other glow plugs to verify they are actually good? I’ve seen these cheap GP’s look fine….but are dead as dead comes, no swelling, no nothing. looks are not a test…using the meter is the standard.

    SOLVED! The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    I’ve responded to this on FB…this is quite simple to TS, pull the GP lead and run the truck as normal, if you aren’t getting a melted GP? you now know it’s your EESS box is the issue, IMO it’s the box…your GP timer is stuck on and 24v is present after 9 second. i suspect all the other GP’s are...

    don’t get in a hurry to buy inferior knock off parts…especially on these aftermarket kits. I Suggest going on the FB forums where many folks I know sell OEM soft top kits.

    B- pillar support bracket for m1151a1

    The black post is a structural support and the green cover is a not only a cover but connects the lower B-pillar support to the roof B-pillar. I guess you can do anything you feel is justified.
