    How long should it take a humvee to warm up?

    When i started driving my truck around the block (not tag at that time) i never heard the fan kick in i thought was quiet until i went for a longer trip. Around the block it never raised to 180 degrees. Not sure it will do in a parki g lot.

    Excessive Run Temp HMMWV

    Try different spots, like the reservoir tank, top of the radiator close to the hoses, thermostat housing, heads. I even tested the oil pan and transmission. All will be fine.

    Excessive Run Temp HMMWV

    My gauges shows 230-240 but with an infrared temp gun the highest temp was 198 degrees. I would check into it before driving yourself nuts.
