If it wasn't making that noise before I'd take it back to the place that has your ungodly sum of money and tell them to fix it.
I'm guessing the place you took it isn't a HMMWV mechanic. But surely they would have to admit that isn't normal.
the fact they left a few things loose doesn't instill...
Agreed.
once you open the inspection plug on transfer case it will be very obvious.
if your getting red colored fluid out of your air filter housing it's even more obviously you have a broken cooler loop (Vampire Problem)
that gold thing should have a couple wires coming out of it. they should plug into a small black rectangular box located right next to it.
see if that connection is being made or if they are not plugged in
that gold thing is the Cadillac valve.
It has to do with the fan . I believe that front hose goes down to the fan clutch.
You probably need to bleed the whole system and check fluid levels.
power steering pump?
Did you recently have either the cooling stack, radiator fan, power steering related items worked on?
you may have some air in the line?
All of that stuff is sort of inter connected.

No new fangled anything just the way it was issued. not sure why...
The original design for the lower profile (silver and the first generation black bearings were actually made up of 6? pieces the formed a complete circle when installed.
I think they substituted for the smaller clips like you have shown because they were easier to make. Then they changed the...
Your going to have to pull it out of the frame and rebuild it or replace it either way it will need to be removed.
I'm guessing it was either swamped when being driven or was swamped parked in one of the resent floods or hurricanes down south.
You have a project ahead of you.
I dropped by today and saw his handy work up close. real close!! Thanks Will. It was nice of Craig to let me be apart of that.
What was the sucker with the radial he wanted to have you peek at next a Priest ?. Or was that who he suggested you go see.
Keep up the good work.

Just curious if you have tried turning it over by hand to make sure it's not locked up.
No intake cover when you got it. fluid of some kind in filter ?
( I think you said that)
What did the oil look like?
Weren't you planning on replacing glow plugs?
If you take them out look down inside each...
