Only the Delco 195° thermostat showed up by this afternoon. I siphoned out 1.5 gallons of coolant and pulled the 190° Murray unit. Though only used for 354 miles. It had a crack on top. I tested the new one on the stove. It opened at 193°.
A quick install and ready to test it out. Once fired...
Interesting. My HMMWV never gets above 190 degrees - and I've never heard that "loud" sound of the fan coming on - now I know why . . . Must be on all the time.
I'm going to check the clutch pack tomorrow. Where do I apply air to try to get everything to move? What psi?
Thx

Hello
I never thought I'd end up posting about a HMMWV, but that changed a couple months ago. I was surprised how just how much they had come down in price from the initial offering last spring. I ended up with this 1995 M998A1.
I wanted something that I could take the family out in, but the...
Shoot, I think white would be sweet looking. Not so common.
Bringing:
New complete, in box, 5-ton/Deuce left camo doors (only three left). Window, crank, handle,hinges. $190/ea. Edit: one left
New complete in box green M939 mufflers. $95/ea.
NOS M101 tri-color camo covers, green inside...
Yes, I haven't really read the -10 manual cover to cover.
What I have done is read all those posts before.
For the fan, I already have a switch wired into that so I can turn it on and off for Fording and what not.
In reference to #3 I read on another post that with just the snorkel and...
In regards to question #3 you should read the -10 TM . Your question makes it clear you never have read the operators TM or have a clue how to ford water.
probably should read these too.

To address the OP's first question: "I am thinking about getting a HMMWV, from auction, and would appreciate any information owners might share (like in the deuce sticky), or links to pertinent threads.
and, if nothing else, would you do it again? how did it work out long term? getting parts...
RWH, you're absolutely right. BLK HMMWV, I should never have responded to your post , not because you're correct, but because it would only serve to be inflammatory to someone I like and respect.
My apologies to the forum. I am considering removing my reply, not because I am wrong, but...
I purchased an 87 HMMWV last year and recently noticed during highway driving @ 50-55mph . It felt as if the engine would loose power . Engine temp appeared normal. First thought was the fanclutch. This one has a Hydraulic fan type. On this type of cooling fan, is it normal not to "free spin...
Here is a somewhat accurate listing of current items for sale preshow that I can deliver if purchased ahead of time. I am traveling fast and light so will only bring up what is purchased ahead of the show. If you see something you need please get with me to make an order and I can get you...
Reinstalled the clutchfan with Its quick release and tensioned the alternator belts. Also put in the dipstick tube for the transmission. Rest of the trans cooler stuff comes in whenever Mac Motors delivers. Found a large fleet shop that's going to modify both prop shafts for about $110...
I have a new Borg Warner viscous fanclutch. Both the NSN (2930-01-565-8355) and the BW part number (1210-09-167-51) come back as HMMWV, on various websites.
But all the HMMWVfanclutches I see in the HMMWV TMs (-P) show as being a hydraulic clutch.
Does anyone have knowledge of this item...
No, no clutch in a HMMWV. But thousands of engines from these trucks were sold as surplus. Who knows what they ended up in or might end up in. Someone searching 5 years from now for information about the valley drain might happen upon this thread.
With the older engines valley drain fuel...
I'm printing this page for reference.
Over the past couple hours - between patients - I've been googling various combinations of "HMMWV + quick disconnect + MWO + fanclutch" and the winning combination was: "HMMWV AND fanclutch AND quick disconnect"
Which led me here...
