    Ball Joint Replacement with 2" Lift

    I posted this in Modified, but haven't gotten any responses, so I thought I'd post it here, as well. Please forgive me if the cross-posting is a no-no... 2007 M1165: I've seen that Rubber Duck offers an "upgraded" ball joint in their Stage II Suspension Lift that corrects the geometry to allow...

    Wheel / center hub fitment

    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...

    Ball Joint Upgrade - 2" Lift

    2007 M1165: 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...

    Shaking above 65MPH

    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. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

    M1165 Coolant System Upgrades

    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.

    2007 M1165A1 AC Evap Fans

    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...

    M1165 Coolant System Upgrades

    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...

    M1165 Coolant System Upgrades

    My understanding is that the electric fans do not move nearly enough air for these vics. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

    M1165 Coolant System Upgrades

    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. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

    M1165 Coolant System Upgrades

    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...

    M1165 Coolant System Upgrades

    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...

    M1165 Coolant System Upgrades

    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...

    Are you running Dextron VI in everything, or only the transmission? Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

    MarkM, Is Dextron III the original ATF in a 2007 truck, though? Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

    Conflicting Info - Dextron III / VI for M1165

    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? Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

    Conflicting Info - Dextron III / VI for M1165

    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...

    hemat trailer

    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.
