    According to HPG, it appears a factory H1 AC condenser may mount up to the cooling stack on the HMMWV. Can anyone here confirm? Still trying to resolve how to install AC hidden in our center console without adding dual fender condensers. Options thus far: 1. Keep the radio rack and center...

    Anyone installed the Restomod Air aftermarket AC?

    Has anyone here successfully installed this system? Any fitment issues, does it cool well, etc.? I posted a similar question on one of the Facebook forums about a year ago and all I heard was "the kit is crap" and "install is a pain" with no real data, photos, or backup for any of those...

    AC options vs heater repair in M1123

    Have a bad heater core on our 1123 and have been debating between replacing the entire core and blower assembly that HPG sells ($1,300 ouch!) or installing the Restomod Air kit…. Which is even more $$$! Have heard some love the Restomod kit and others hated it and told me it was junk. Looked...

    CTIS Cover Bolts 7/16-13 vs 7/16-14?

    The parts manual calls out 7/16-13 bolts for the outside of the geared hubs where you would mount CTIS covers or the rear brackets. See part 36 in the photo. I've misplaced some of ours and can find 7/16-14 all day long but haven't located any in 13 TPI. Was this a HMMWV specific specialty...

    Must Have's for New Deuce?

    Looking into purchasing an M35A2 to set up as a private brush/wildland truck for ranch use. The fire apparatus ideally will be built on a skid and be self contained and placed into the bed via forklift when needed. We will not be bobbing the truck, and would like to maintain registration and...

    Conversion to Electric Lift Pump on HMMWV?

    I know many may claim hogwash, but I've legitimately been through two factory correct mechanical lift pumps from a reputable HMMWV parts supplier in 2 years. An acquaintance who owns ALOT of heavy diesel equipment says he suspects the ultra low sulfur diesel is degrading the diaphragm in the...

    Secondary Oil Pressure Gauge

    I’ve seen where some of you have installed fuel pressure gauges on the top port of the filter housing, and have figured out how to do that, but I’ve also seen photos of some secondary oil pressure gauges installed right behind the drivers side valve cover. Has anyone here done that, and can...

    Black Substance on Battery Terminals Between Frame and Tunnel

    After removing the ring terminals for the radio tray power cable from the positive and ground stud terminals between the frame and the tunnel, I don't think I'm getting a good connection anymore. Both were covered in a thick black material that had skinned over like silicone on the outside, but...

    Aluminum Champion vs OEM Radiator

    The radiator on my 1123 is full of sludge and rust. The lower tube on my truck was not stainless and had disintegrated from the inside out which was hard to tell since it was entirely covered in undercoating. Since I’m already installing new hoses, a water pump, and replacing my leaking...

    Proper Type & Quality of Under Hood Hose Clamps

    I've heard several guys talk about the proper hose clamps and constant tension clamps for under hood hoses. Several on my truck are clearly some auto parts junk and I'd like to replace with the correct style clamps when I install all new hoses. Appreciate any advice you guys may have.

    Has anyone here used CSM Army Tires? I currently have old date code Goodyear MT OZ tires on some rough to fair 12 bolt rims, that I'm not comfortable with on the highway anymore. I was originally going to convert to 17" wheels and all terrains, but the wheel and tire shortage has had made me...

    M1123 Tachometer Options

    I've been pointed in every direction on tachometers for our M1123 with a NA 6.5 and now I'm just even more confused. I have the tach pod for the windshield frame, but no tach, and no wiring. I dont want a tach bad enough to spend $950 on the kits being sold online, but would like to get...

    Currently in the process of disconnecting a Red Dot to move it farther back to our new 4 door rear curtain, and can't seem to identify some of the parts I'm looking for.

    Assuming these are holes from previously installed armored windshields? The rivnuts open right down into the area behind the dash. Would y’all use some RTV and a bolt, or remove them and use and body plugs? Trying to keep water from running right behind the dash area when it rains.
