    07 M1165 Crew Heat Issue

    Does the fan blow high and low speed in AC mode? And when you turn off the AC switch the fan shuts off completely? no high or low? And are we talking about the front unit fan by the commanders feet? Or the rear AC unit?

    07 M1165 Crew Heat Issue

    No, the water valve being unplugged wont affect the fan. My first thought is that your jumper diode may be geeking? Check out the wiring under the instrument cluster for proper hookup

    Driver's Side Insulation

    I've never seen that #4 vertical support in over two dozen trucks. The #29 strip ive seen installed both ways. No rhyme or reason. I reinstall them with the ridge upward so they lay flat and dont get distorted from tightening the bolts. But I would totally accept that the ridge was intended to...

    Seat Cover Replacement

    He uses the D rings. Saw a few laying on the work bench the other day. Unfortunately none of his trucks are around to get new pics of the rings for you to see how they look.

    Seat Cover Replacement

    A buddy of mine sews his own replacement covers made from original material in the OD or now coyote color. Looks factory. He just uses the commercially available hog rings on his. Whats the issue with what you are using? Fit or function? Or just looks different?

    M1165A1, broken fan drive

    Yes. knew a guy who failed to fill it with lube oil and drove it till it failed. It can be dug out from its mounting location. I know they are spendy to replace.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Turning my M1123 into a soft top ambulance for a while. Got the top installed so far. Need to remove the litter rack from donor M1035A2 with its hawaiian rusty mounting bolts.

    Improved mirror

    That eastern surplus mirror ad shows one of the hard to find "square corner" mirrors. And while it does have that cutout, its not the same as OP's "round corner" mirror with cutout. Need more info from OP about any part numbers that may or may not be on them.

    Winter tire rims/wheels recommendations?

    Pretty decent choice for a snow tire. Good amount of features in the tread design for your intended purpose. Date code shouldnt be that big a deal if they were stored properly indoors. UV exposure is the main culprit in shortening a tire's useful lifespan

    M1165A1 not wanting to go past 50mph

    i didnt see "new fuel filter" listed? Elaborate on "catalytic converter is fine" diagnostics Did you get a turbo specific I.P. ? Part number? Does it have Turbo specific injectors? Part number? Band color? Remove air filter and filter housing cover and try it out. Eliminates any intake...

    I wonder if thats the chinese mirror with that cutout? My AM General ones didnt have the cutaway area. Is there a part number on it?

    NOS Seatbelt replacement will not extend - defective?

    There is a pendulum inside that locks the belt. It only unlocks when hanging perfectly straight down. Mount the reel to the pillar and it will be straight and it will unlock

    12v/24v question

    Why does it have to be 12V? Just tap off any part of that circuit and use 24V bulbs. No need to add complexity

    M1097A2 w/4L80E transfer case capacity?

    Not 100% sure but my guess is that its an anti torque item.

    Yeah, you are fine.

    06 M1165 AC Issue

    That hose loop (blue circle), If I Recall Correctly, is the supply and return fuel lines for the optional Arctic Heater. Just replace that loop of hose so it wont leak. Circled in green are the infamous "Check Valves" that are famous for gumming up and sticking closed causing fuel starvation...

    M1097A2 w/4L80E transfer case capacity?

    Thats weird but to my knowledge all transfer cases get filled to the fill hole and no higher for obvious reasons. Being on a level surface is required. take a long level to your trailer...front to back AND side to side... just in case
