    FMTV Air Conditioner Hybrid Completed Installation

    If 5-10 seriously interested people contact me I could start putting a price on it. Also I would need someone interested close enough to me to bring there FMTV over for a week so I could design build a bracket for the 3116 generator mount.

    Thanks for the preview. Looks like we are all trying to get them installed before the summer heat, as I just started the process. I have plenty of questions.

    C7 Valve Lash Adjustment

    When performing my transmission swap I turned the engine over both ways from the generator fully nut and by pulling or pushing on the fan. There is an access hole to the fly wheel passenger side, with the cab up facing the engine to the left of the turbo. To gain clear access to the threaded...

    LMTV Air Conditioner

    Please put my name on one each of those brackets. I was in the processes of designing a mount to go on the generator side and adding a V pulley to the generator pulley.
