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.

I spent 6yrs in the USMC in a heavy machine gun platoon, we had the hard top humvee's, I don't know how they designed them, all the heat from the engine comes right in to the passenger compartment, you can cook a can of soup on the engine block though.

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.

I did 2700 in a fox body lx 4banger that was 32 years old at the time. Lol It constantly over heated and actually only made it about 1/3 the way there before it chugalugged itself out. Little thing was an awesome car though despite being ragged out by the previous owners before it was gifted to me. Loved it. And watching this threw me right back behind the wheel of that little stang, cruising on the highways of p.a on my way back to Texas. If you haven’t done a full road trip through the us by car. Do it. You only live once so trust me the views you’ll see are worth it.
