I know several people who have used the 1st gen and been happy. Key to good cooling is insulating the cab. A study by NIS showed that the 2nd gen was 16K btu. I have not found info on the 1st gen but would not believe Red Dot specs
I have 20 compressor mounting kits on the way, also plenty of evaporator units and plenty of condenser units, wiring, hose fittings, etc

Red Dot makes A/C parts for MANY civilian trucks also and most of those trucks are not designed to be used off road or in the rough conditions as the military so the mounts do not need to be as strong.
I have all the parts for A/C on LMTV, just not all at the same time! Should have brackets in 2-3 weeks, have wiring harness now and condensers now (3 each)
Not such a great deal as it won't fit and I sell the correct brackets for $240, sold out now but expect 20 more in a couple weeks.
The price on that pulley is either very old or they are losing money selling it.
There are no existing mounts, I mounted it to the radiator frame. Easiest to remove the radiator from the truck to do this since you will have the shroud and fan off already.
pulley is available from Cat and is fairly cheap. It all just bolts right up as far as I can tell so far. I have compressor brackets and belt idler pulley mount. a/c belt is a gates I have the number but cannot find it right now.
I am making a custom condenser based on the belief / advice that the condensed should be 60,000 btu. Using 2 CNFP2222 AC Universal Condenser Parallel Flow 22 x 22 w/ #6 & #8 Ports and 2 fans.
