My first truck had a Gen1 and it was adequate at best, but that was w/o any insulation. The fellow who purchased the truck from me had it recharged and said that it worked multitudes better so I suspect it was a bit low on juice. But if I were to install an OEM unit, I would lean towards the...

Rgr all. As you said once, we all have variations of time and money. I'm retired on a fixed income, but have plenty of time.

Not surprising. Yet the exact same components in the civilian unit are half that even today (at FULL retail). https://cabcomfortdirect.com/collections/red-dot-ac-units/products/red-dot-24-volt-back-wall-ac-system-2

Here's the Red Dot part number: 4130-01-562-6391

It will have to be someone in the midst of collecting bits for the install. The guys here sitting on hundreds of these units do NOT want you to do what you're about to do. ;)

Just curious if this one uses the same driver-side mounting location or if it slings off the passenger side. I've seen both used on LMTVs (the later being quite common in civilian CAT engines).

But the universal units that I linked all meet (exceed) the Gen2 spec (and with complete gen2 kits at $5000-7000 now, the universals are less than 1/4 of the cost even after brackets and pulley). Coldmaster sells Reddot stuff, too. I've never asked if Reddot can still crank out gen2...

btw: if it fits, it cools :)

Gen2 are rated at 30k if I recall. And if you are going to insulate the cab, you possibly won't need that much. Sean ("Able") has the OEM Reddot HUMVEE a/c (24k btu) in his cab and says it's more than enough (of course, he lives in PacNW so I can't say if that would be enough in a hell like...

Exactly. Buy the universal kit. Install it as is or have a fab shop bend you a box, cut a few holes, and ...ta-da...instant gen2 housing. Slap the universal components in there and off you go. *I have all the exact dimensions of the gen2 housing somewhere if anyone needs them, btw (if I...

Fyi: for the cost of a surplus evap you can get an entire system from Coldmaster. You need the pulley and bracket still, but saves thousands of dollars going this route. https://www.ebay.com/itm/264706381764?hash=item3da1bad7c4:g:ZFYAAOSwM9henfeC...

You can find the gen2 evap/blower on Ebay still.

My experience is just don't let any of the magic smoke out. Once it escapes...

Yes, they are listed in the TM. READ THE TM!!!!!!!! ;p
