    How long should it take a humvee to warm up?

    Yes to the cold blooded engines. Outside and 70...seems like forever at an idle. Got to drive. Reference only. Resistance +/- to get the military gauge to read shown value. Where did you get sender? You should be seeing 180 degrees something. Stock thermostat, and fan disengaged? 2.5 K...

    To long and to fat for the "3916" Standard tie down kits, rope and the clip. Big bucks for a piece of rope and clip. The ball on the end of the whip is golden, CAMO

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Not so much pinched or cut... but there are contact areas (small button) that when the windshield is up, come together. Age, rotting rubber and corrosion work at making for a bad connection. Many owners never see them or lower the windshield. Couple of these... connectors (top and bottom)...

    M1165

    Could be a problem ?? Be sure the cold advance and the injector control leads are going to the right spots. The one with the ribs on the Packard is the cold advance... Go to the rear on the pump. Easy to swap or flip, CAMO

    Oil Pressure "LOW" ? 6.5L non-turbo

Going by the limits, the engine oil pressure should be "more than 6PSI" once warmed up at idle and "more than 15 PSI" when under load, but it shouldn't really exceed 50 PSI...
