Because we know this stuff is SO TRUE! LMTV'rs need a good laugh!! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNnpxKSuX3W/?igsh=b3M4MnFpeXAxeWRt https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNlvsWcybJM/?igsh=NXlnOHh4dmEwbTJp https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNIkzyXIZE7/?igsh=dmhlcmR3d2IzZzZt...

Wait! Are those heavy duty electrical wires with no conduit or cover? !

There is a lot of physics to get this cab open and shut. For example, the load on your hydraulics is non linear. Initially the load is high, then once you hit the center of gravity the force needed drops suddenly and dramatically. Add to the mass weight to a rack and you have more momentum...

Were those braided brake lines OEM or did you have them made?

Thanks to all who chimed in. Job done! My pure hydraulic system actually likes this bigger ram better.

What position did you have your cab in when you did the swap? Did you wedge a bar in there for safety?

Thanks! Helps a ton! Something about those supplied self tap screws that does not inspire confidence :unsure:

See Paul von Klosst-Dohna on Instagram.

Just rec'd, my cab hydraulic ram upgrade kit. There is a diagram, but no real instructions. Anyone else complete this upgrade?

The heat index recently has motivated me to finally put my A/C in over the last month. I know others are feeling the heat. There was a RedDOT A/C unit that was on Ebay for a HMMWV kit that appears to drop in to the spot where the OEM unit for about 1200. sits. Now poof! It's gone. Dropping...

What he said.....

I recall seeing someone drill into one of the fittings around the transmission cooling hose. I believe Ronmar also deleted or diverted the engine coolant away from the transmission cooling system. Thinking about this too. Maybe too much heat soke from engine to tranny. Can't remember his reason...

Sorry for your loss. Wear a shirt with with the pictures you have here pressed on it. It will help carry his memory. I like the SNORKLE on the CUCV.

Anyone have a readable wiring schematic for these FMTV RedDot units?

I have to admit, I have never rebuilt one of these. I am doing preemptive head rebuild of a Midland this week. I have the compressor out to add the A/C PITA bracket. Any pointers for the valve and spring replacement? I found some videos on this, but most kind of blew through it pretty fast.

When you refer to Haldex, are you also including the Midland brand compressor for spring failures?

Interesting. I guess I will have the production date on my AC unit and scan the 2017 TMs. Thank you.

I'm in the process of finally installing A/C in my M1088. Just curious about the history of A/C in FMTV's. I know that the original units were rare, but which vehicles got them? Just the HIMARS? Do newer FMTV's get these units as standard now, given the armor? I have been looking through the...

The current temps are my motivation! Thanks!

Did the OEM system use a Trinary or separate pressure switches?
