    Marine Corp vs Army humvees?

    It's a fun toy. With the money I spent I could have bought a new RZR or Can Am but it seems that we all who share this hobby have serious issues LOL. I like it, not high speed but lots of torque. Does not get stuck in sand, very nice steering control and most important, looks cool behind the...

    Red Dot AC Part Number for Slantback Trucks?

    Steve, not to hijack this thread but, on the Vbelt compressor, can younjust replace the clutch section? I have a brand new Vbelt compressor that I am keeping with the idea of spare and clutch removal. Maybe I have been wrong all this time LOL. I bought the complete kit from Gov planet.

    Top speed

    I daily drive or almost daily drive my M1123 highway speeds around 70MPH and the engine does not scream (don't have a tach) I have reached around 82 and did not want to keep going as it felt very unsafe and unstable. 6.5 turbo on 40's.

    Marine Corp vs Army humvees?

    Out of the 6 HMMWV 's I have bought only 1 was army or national guard out of Texas and 5 USMC out of Yermo, they all came with clean SF97. Even my polaris MRZR came with a clean SF97.

    A/C for Humvee

    A couple of friends in our group have had them for a couple of years now. They have mixed opinions on it like they have not failed so far or are making noises but during last summer they complained it did not cooled down to a comfortable temperature until after a while.

    M1151a1 revb a/c hose

    Yep, I did all my red dot lines locally. Easy peasy and some people say that the easy clip holds better, I am not expert in the matter.

    SF 97 Status

    Make sure your truck wad listed with a year. If not it will sit there forever until you call them. Or just like three or so months out of Yermo CA

    M1151a1 revb a/c hose

    Have the hose made locally. I did all mine with the original fittings from the old hoses and so far they are really good. Cheaper than trying to source the original parts. You can even install extra protection so it won't happen again.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Hey Kurtvk, I bought the same Tach and today I went to test some connections and at idle my tach is all over the place upon acceleration ot goes back to around 1K and up as I accelerate. How is yours working? Of course, my connection was through the generator as I have the TD engine and not the...

    New-Old Stock HMMWV?

    That's someone's truck with the ignition key switch installed. Or one the have prepared to move around in the yard. Mogman is right, lots of weird noises.

    Polaris MRZR-D4

    Mine does not stop as intended. Lot of fun thought. Do you know if the rotors are also a good fit?

    Polaris MRZR-D4

    yes, only thing is when we contact Polaris they said the unit is still in service and they cannot provide any information or parts. parts must be sourced via a unit ie: police department, fire department, sheriff office, army, navy station, etc. i came across a manual from the Polaris website...

    Best Source for X-Door Glass?

    Yep, remember South Florida. Everything down here costs an arm and a leg and quality meeehhh. I believe who ever laid the resin in between it did not lay correctly. I will make a new set but this time tempered. Or get a better quality shop. I really would like them to be laminated.

    M1097A2 build thread

    I have a lot of friends running aftermarket AC systems with mounted compressors and self contained. Nothing like the red dot.
