I work on these here in kansas on Fort Riley, that looks like a M1097. They are notorious for overheating! It's always the fan clutch solenoid, time delay or the fan clutch itself. If you unplug the time delay the fan clutch should kick on if not your fan clutch is seized, if it is there's 6 screws on the back of it loosen them and tap around the fan clutch and sometimes it'll spring out then tighten the screws back up. It should kick on at about 180 degreese.

The main problems other than bulbs and the turn signal stock, are the fuel pumps, and the PCB. They always go out, because the unit is too lazy to fix the actual problem and they just want the quick solution. It also doesn't help when the operators do their PMCS and don't notice it doesn't have any fluids, because it's all burned up. But if I try to order the correct parts, that's a problem because it costs to much. It's really stupid that I have to let them destroy it before I can order the correct parts.

Disposable income is amazing

Death Valley would've been the hottest desert you drove through, thankfully it was at night so yaknow, only a little less death. Hell of a trip for a HMMV dude, if you can imagine also wearing long sleeve uniforms and pants, over 25lb. of kevlar and hard plates and a helmet-- then our ammo and equipment to bulk on top of that, then you'd have a little more of an idea of how miserable these beasts are when we were on deployments haha. Drink water! Enjoy the 50mph steed of greatness my dude.

first time seeing this and this dude. Cant help but to like him. Btw, lived in Kansas before. Now living back in Germany.

These things are pretty fun to drive but they do have maintenance issues being so old. From what I've heard, it's mainly the engine that requires maintenance. 240 is not overheating, 260 would be problematic. The cooling system is rated for 185-250 degrees turns on at 220 and off at 190. You also want to check fluids monthly and do basic maintenance like draining the fuel filter after driving it, etc. I wanna get one when I have the money to blow and install some subs in the bed, Apple CarPlay, etc. and totally pimp it out

"What's even worse in the HUMVEE is trying to cook us alive. I don't know how but it's just blowing hot air in my face!" That's their specialty. At least you're not in full kit and it's doing that. Significantly less pleasant.

Could've just got a humvee for free. Shipping from Afghanistan can't be that expensive.

That humvee definitely does not only have 1000 miles on it. Those gauges break all the time, and when they replace it, it resets to 0. I've bought a few of these. It's probably got well over 150k miles.

One of my favorite style humvee when I was in the Marine Corps

I work on these for a living. Unplug the relay for the fan. Will help the overheating problem. Also the driveline rubbing is caused by the body mount bushings being wore out or gone.

After you unplug it do you just leave it unplugged or do you jump it out so it runs all the time?
