I'll try to make a long story short. I had a Freon leak so I needed to replace the condenser and recharge. I got the new condenser plumbed in but I still have to fab up some new brackets as the replacement was just a bit wider than the original for some reason. I wanted to charge the system...

I am totally bummed out. Maybe time to take a vacation from being an amateur, terrible, MMMWV mechanic. Tried to fix the AC, again. Installed a new condenser and the replacement was slightly larger than the origininal for some reason. So a PITA to build new mounts. Got discouraged, so I left...

This is the first I have heard of this. I bought two EXPENSIVE sets, from two different well respected vendors recommended on this forum. I forget which vendor the first set came from but the second set was from HPG, and both came in little plastic bags. No boxes. No NSN numbers. They looked...

I replaced my belts yesterday and I was going to buy another set to have on hand. The PS and Generator sets are easy. But I have an aftermarket AC kit installed. The AC belt that came in the kit is marked "15440", no manufacturer printed on it. The instructions state included was a belt "7440"...

Well I hate to create posts like this, but I'll admit I'm an old poop and really slow and do dumb things. The Florida inferno abated, and with temps in the 70's I decided it was time to check the belts. Yeah, I changed them all three years ago when I first received the HMMWV, but two looked...

Today I tried fiberglass repair for the first time. The front driver's signal light was flopping around. Pass was fine. Took it off and the fiberglass hood was cracked all around the two mounting blots and the hole the wires go through. What a miserable job! I must have gone through 6 pairs...

I am a newbie, but I can provide you general guidance. There is usually a low refrigerant pressure switch which is usually near or on the receiver dryer. Without sufficient R134 charge, it will stop the compressor from engaging to prevent the compressor from burning out. The proper procedure...

I cannot answer your question as I replaced the tank with the X version since my tank was old and decrepit and had small leaks. But adding the protection plate that goes between the new X tank and the rear output driveshaft everything was super tight. I had to adjust the tank/plate a few times...

Let me see if I can be clearer. The Quick 4 does not take that much juice, so IMHO a converter is unnecessary and overly complicated. Just connect it up to the positive and negative posts of the first of your two batteries. Just make sure you put a fuse between the first 12V battery and battery...

Since the Florida Inferno is abated, in the 50's, I completed the yearly oil/filter change, grease job, and checked all the fluids. I noted I had a leak from the fan clutch QD fitting. Tightened it about another turn and will have to see if that gets-r-done. Found the right front hub air vent...

Start with the easy stuff. Change ALL your fluids and filters.

It is very odd, @springer1981 does not show up as being active since May. I hope is ok. He is a terrific guy and gave me a lot of great advice that saved me tons of time and $. The maker of this setup, @shannondeese has not been active for more than year either, but his web site is still...

Busy week, since the Florida Inferno is abated. Installed the CamoTek glow box this morning. Unfortunately, I'm expert at installing them but this should be the last one for me! My wish is I could find a way or find someone that can get the two broken glow plugs out without having the remove...

Sorry to resurrect an ancient thread. Seems like this is the only thread I could find on it. Has anyone here installed one of these? I was enchanted with this setup ever since I first got my M998 three years ago. The wife just gave me permission to buy it! Only thing is I wish I had modified...

I finally got around to installing a separate the air vent line from the fuel pump so I don't end up with diesel in the transmission, hubs or everywhere else. Just used a few feet of 1/4" diesel fuel line to run it up high to next to the air filter canister, a couple spring clamps, a plug for...

I see by your avitar you are located in Florida? If so, In Florida, a firearm in a vehicle must be securely encased or not readily accessible for immediate use, unless it is concealed on your person. So if you have it mounted in a holster and get stopped by LEO, prepare to be swatted. You...

Perhaps I am just a simpleton, but if we have two 12V batteries in series to make a 24V system - instead of using a converter, why not tap off the first battery's system ground and 12V, install a circuit breaker, or bus fuse, then a fuse box for the individual 12V circuits? What do I know? This...

As some mmight recall, my wife refused to ride in the rig so I have been on the warpath to make it appealing to her on the cheap. I found these grab handles to assist her getting in. At about $21 a pair I installed six so far and I might add one more pair. RV Handle While the handle itself...

I'll post mu 2Cents. I did not want to spend a ton of $ on a rig that I wanted to keep minimalist. Before you do any audio work on a diesel, you need to do some sound deadening or you are wasting your time. I used Kilmat and marine carpeting paying extra attention to the dog house where most...

Just a thought - it might be cheaper and better to just have a good local tranny shop rebuild your existing unit. Then you do not have to worry if you get an early unit vs a late model unit. The early units had a different location for the cooling fittings. The later units had fixes that make...
