    Red Dot A/C in Soft Top HMMWV

    Action is correct. You need to pull a good vacuum. If you have access to a vacuum pump, it need to run for at least 20min to remove all the moisture and air. Once that's done you can add freon. My said 4lbs of 134a

    Red Dot A/C in Soft Top HMMWV

    My kit came with one. It's probably the hardest task in the install because of the awkward working area. You need to pressurized the fan clutch (using compress air) and lined up the opening for the 5/16 allen bolts. You do not need to remove the 4 nuts on the fan. Hope that will help on your...

    Wireless Key
