No harm is intended with these comments. You have to understand this site lately has been inundated with NEW HUMVEE OWNERS. These guys are buying these trucks and know NOTHING about vehicles period let alone a machine of war that is more complicated. There is an AMAZING search function that if you learn how to use will answer most of your questions. And of course the dreaded TM. This site has them all available for free download they need to be read and studied i bet you will be surprised by what you learn about your new toy.
You put water in the oil fill, i understand mistakes but i have never even looked at the oil filler and thought hmmmm, yep thats where the water goes. Also you say you got on the highway and ran XX M.P.H. well, cool i guess? You understand thats a 3 speed and a diesel that hates to rev? Youre lucky you didnt window the block.... Not to mention that truck was NEVER intended to do that speed. Isnt there placards in the cab on the dash, or doghouse stating max speed? There is in the -10... do you know the speed rating of the tires? How old are the tires? Have you checked the date codes on them? Have you checked your diff levels? Trans level? Tansfercase level? Do you know how to do any of that?
Ive seen new owners argue with a seasoned and experienced military vehicle owner over the differentials used in the humvees and how to lock the axles using brake modulation.
Im waiting for the post about how to change the spark plugs comes up or how to change wiper blades.
The thing is this....MV's arent really meant for a person who doesnt know or understand vehicles. These arent trucks you drive down to your local used car dealer and pick up snd just wing it.... you are going to hurt someone maybe yourself even worse a loved one or a complete stanger....
