    DIY, "DON'T BUY A" Cheap eB*y AC in a HMMWV

    I got the $750 coldmaster hmmwv 24v AC kit off ebay and have had excellent results, it came with a sanden compressor. I bought AC bracket from black dog customs and a AC hose crimper off amazon, the kit keeps me cool in SW Floridas summer. My Red dot blower motor was damaged in shipping...

    Interior noise. Soft vs hard doors?

    A helpful way to get sound to stop echoing around in the cab in insulating the roof with these acustic sound deadening tiles. I've insulated my cab, under my hood, the underside of the tunnel but the biggest improvement was when I insulated and built my doghouse.

    HMMWV Ground Shunt

    Great info, I will do all the above tomorrow! I had no idea about the un equalizing aspect of the 60amp alternator, I was planning to buy a battery equalizer (from big rig setup) as a way of pulling 12v power evenly for my accessories, this may also help with the 60amp and its favoritism for the...

    HMMWV Ground Shunt

    I have two 6TL batteries replaced new 6 months ago, I was thinking about that and 13v should be fine I think your right. I think I'll take the cap of my 60amp alternator tomorrow and measure the voltage coming out of it, should be about 28v correct? As for my shunt could it just be dirty...
