Want to put A/C in a M925A1... anyone got pictures of their install?

[74M35A2]

Can I bother somebody with the military A/C add on kit to PM me? I'd like to see the inside of the evaporator box, to see if it could be mounted horizontally with vents pointing down such as on the cab roof. I have seen it here mounted horizontally with vents pointing up in another thread.

I want to buy a Red Dot cab roof evaporator or condenser/evaporator combo, but they can't be touched for any less than $1500. The closer I look, the more I see resemblance between the one in the military "kit", and their R-9800 commercial unit.

Essentially, if the military one can drain or be made to drain condensation properly when mounted horizontally, I will purchase one and slam in up on the cab roof. Thanks in advance.

For the NHC 250? The info is in this thread in one of my posts.
Try post #129 or so. Your mileage may vary.

Found this one today on youtube. The title is wrong since that isn't an A2 but it is a nice setup on the 855. Guess you really don't need a heater box in Puerto Rico

That's actually a pretty clean ride. Right along the lines of what I want to do for AC.

Holy oiled tires Batman! And those seats, he must feel like Lieutenant Dan after riding ANY distance.


As long as he is happy I guess, who am I to criticize?

 

[HanksDeuce]

Those tires look slicker than goose sh!t. He even did the inside sidewalls and the mudflaps!

Isn't that kit specifically for the A2? OP was asking for the A1 (as are a couple of us)

Yes this kit is but we will have the kit for the A1 done in about a month and should be ready to ship at that time and it will have all the same features

I got pictures of the major parts of his unit- since i took them before i shipped it to him.

So, where are folks putting the big black box in these pics? The MTVR HVAC unit?

I am going to put this one behind my center console. Right about where the map box is. Im going to remove that cab support and re work it the go to the air ride passengers seat. Only bad part is the one heater fitting for the coolant lines sits below the box. I may try to rework that as well.

Mine went in beautifully under the passenger side dash, once I relotaced the diagnostic port.

Anyone know if the MTVR unit will work on the A2 trucks?

Thanks!

Those military guys have a very nice ac/ heater kit. Look it up on there Web site my buddy put one in his 923 and it works great

Maybe Rain Bird makes an adapter for the heater fitting. :O

I don't see why it wouldn't. I started on mine.
