    Any idea what could have caused this?

    I was in the back seat when that video was made!!! I was telling the driver to go slow..... but didn't happen. This was the second one that this has happened.

    Any idea what could have caused this?

    Water broke the fan blade-- witnessed two already. Anyone that has purchased a surplus Humvee, do yourself a favor and change the drive belts and the fan blade with a new one. They are old and brittle. The first one that broke took out the shroud. The second one that broke on my other buddy's...
