    Paradox By Design - Cooling Upgrade kits, visors, etc..

    The thought had crossed our mind a few times to make a billet aluminum one with a good drain plug with a magnetic end on it. Might have to put that on the list of TO-Dos :)

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    You are very correct. The rear block design and the overall coolant flow pattern on these blocks leaves a lot to be desired. Of course most on here know about our Cooling Upgrade Kits to fix this. We have a blog which describes the issue in detail here...

    Big overheating issues. Help required.

    Coming in late to the party, but I doubt the thermostat would cause that fast of an overheat. In fact I have a hard time believing it can get to 240 in 5 mins period. So how do we know it is really 240 and not an infamous bad gauge? I would run a set of jumper cables from the block to the...

    Another temp control issue?

    I dont like recommending to put our kits on without getting your other issue resolved but these will drastically reduce the fan cycling and the duration it is on for (when working properly). But the real key is keeping the rear two cylinders from overheating locally and the constant bleeding...

    Another temp control issue?

    So the fact it dropped tells me a couple things might be going on. One as mentioned you may have or had large amounts of unfilled areas of the cooling system that are burping to the overflow tank. Air in the system will cause all manner of weirdness as is can impede the flow of coolant and...

    Another temp control issue?

    Did you open the heater valve during any of this process? If not you might have a lot of air in the heater circuit that is burping into the system and causing steam pockets. Is your coolant level dropping at all? Try placing jumper cables from the battery to the block and the chassis and...

    Aftermarket stereo installation question...

    These trucks are electrically noisy. Grounds are key as Dock Rocker said above. Grounding the stereo equipment to the battery will help. Ultimately you might need a noise filter.

    Humvee brackets would like to identify

    The rear brackets accept a 4-man bulkhead so the rear tailgate can be down and there be a bulkhead as well to keep cargo in. Are there mount hols on the inside of your tailgate too? The center rocker doublers are in the TMs somewhere. The brackets on the side fenders I am not sure about. The...

    Possible cooling issue and/or water pump problem?

    Sintorion, I have NEVER lied on this forum. I have always treated you with respect and answered your questions time and time again despite your flagrant disrespect and aggressive attacks. We are at what I see is an insurmountable impasse that will never be resolved. I am fine with that...

    Utah HMMWV recovery, Helmet Hard top install, and build.

    If you decide to go the fender mounted route, you will not need both sides. One unit is more than enough. As is a single unit has twice the capacity of a single radiator mounted unit. We have a 24V advanced fan controller unit we are releasing which will control those fans nicely and is an...

    Coolant flush volume capacity

    So long as you flush as well as possible and use distilled water and a high quality coolant with good anti-corrosion properties you should not see a 'mud puddle' in a year. A lot of the stuff that comes out of these after military service is due to field topping off with whatever water source...

    Coolant flush volume capacity

    Sintorion, I am not sure what your personal agenda is here but several members of this site have asked you to lay off. Again we have very completely tested our products, you just don't like the way we did it. Our customers all over this site and around the world disagree with you. You are...

    X-Doors: Way to quiet them down ?

    Add Dynamat to the inside and then add felt to the sliders to take up the gap on the windows. Super quiet when done.
