    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I have been on fire in a racecar, not cool. Fire system and good safety equipment saved me as well as practicing egress from the car many many times just in case. I don't own a vehicle with combustibles in it that does not have at least a halon fire extinguisher in it. Overkill perhapts but I...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    We are not a large shop and we are OK with low production numbers so long as the product is top notch and is an improvement over what is or was out there. So far we have only done things that we found were substandard to our expectations and could be done better. I don't want to be a mass...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    Many years ago there was a movement to improve cooling and reliability in race engines by not running a thermostat. The theory was that they might fail closed and kill an engine and that more flow was better. Well they quickly found that the high flow did not give the coolant sufficient...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    Thank you for your input and comments. We have a patent pending so we do have some protections in place for those that want to try to copy our system. We have completed the R&D and have civilian kits shopping the first of November. In fact you can pre-order right now on our site. We have not...

    Paradox by Design CUCV HMMWV cooling kit

    It sounds like you have a HMMWV crossover. We have kits for both an regular CUCV and one it sounds like yours that has a HMMWV crossover.

    HMMWV Overheat Q's and pictures

    It is certainly sounding like an electrical issue at this point. I would check for continuity from the sensor back to the controller. Might have a broken lead. Sensors can go bad but not very common.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Constant battle for sure. I have been replacing weather stripping with thicker materials and things are getting better. I have also added drains in the floors which is a nice add on too.

    Antenna ?

    A large German Shepard in the back might work too.

    Antenna ?

    A nice bumper sticker would say 'No gun in the rack means I have it with me, wanna tempt fate?'

    Cooling upgrade system.

    The full CUCV kits are being released this month. They are in all black minus a custom CNC aluminum piece that they need in order to fit the kit which will stay in natural aluminum to match the crossover and outlet flange. The Civilian kits are also out later this month and are in all black...

    Cooling upgrade system.

    The cooling system (minus the radiator) and the flow within the block are still the same. The difference is the added heat from the turbocharging which only makes the situation worse. Overall his results are valid for others with 6.2/6.5 engines. The radiator being aftermarket might effect...

    Cooling upgrade system.

    I have been avoiding direct response to this member who has a clear negative motivation. However much of this has been covered and as this thread is quite long, many may have missed it, but we did significant testing and tuning during the development of these kits. After this development...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    There have been several requests for an option to be made available with the kits to add an aftermarket gauge sender into the kit. Well it is now available. It can be added to any of the kits and placed in either rear block port as it sits in-line between the rear block plates and the hoses...
