    HMMWV Overheat Q's and pictures

    Everything in your statement below can be argued. We have NEVER claimed that our system is designed to lower overall system temperatures. We are creating a flow path that is inadequate in the stock engine design. Pretending this issue does not exist does not change the fact that is is both well...

    HMMWV Overheat Q's and pictures

    We copied absolutely nothing. We come from an extensive professional motorsports background and have a lot of mechanical engineering expertise for decades working for some of the biggest names out there. Just because you don't understand something does not make it and less effective. Your...

    HMMWV Overheat Q's and pictures

    Sorry but again actual testing has proven these kits to be exactly as advertised. These kits eliminate the endless list of band-aid products like oversize water pumps, duel thermostats, lower temp thermostats, aftermarket radiators etc.. Those that sell all that stuff are the only ones refuting...

    HMMWV Overheat Q's and pictures

    Our kits are installed around the world, in every climate you can imagine in military use, off road race use, exploration use and of course enthusiast use. They have and continue to perform just as engineered and well tested to do. There is no refuting the benefit of these kits other than loose...

    Has anyone installed a cooling system upgrade?

    GM engineers oversized the cylinders in just #7 and #8 to keep the pistons from scoring the cylinder walls when they overheated and swelled beyond spec.. GM knew about the overheating at the rear and after having tried with different water pumps, dual thermostats, etc to fix it, gave up and...

    HMMWV Overheat Q's and pictures

    These temp gauges are notoriously inaccurate and usually on the high side. That being said you are still going to run hot at the back of the block compared to the front which is well documented and a cause of most blown head gaskets, cracked heads/block, scored cylinders etc.. (almost always in...

    New Supercharged and Intercooled HMMWV kits!

    Our PWM controller, will likely end up being made into a production product along with the fans kit. We can program the kit to disable for wading like the stock setup or more likely make the stock Cadillac valve work with our wading override system. It will be programmable for duration.

    New Supercharged and Intercooled HMMWV kits!

    We are more like $10K+. We make an entire intake manifold out of solid billet aluminum, custom water/air intercooler, billet pulleys, custom front mount cooler for the intercooling, electric ducted fans, PWM fan controller etc. It is an amazing set-up but most guys have a hard time spending what...

    New Supercharged and Intercooled HMMWV kits!

    We are on hold with these kits. Though a great system and very well engineered, the cost to build these and the supply of the specific supercharger are both hindrances to moving forward. The market is very small and the investment to move into production looks to require up to a 10 year recovery...
