    Hmmwv on a trailer?

    The OP has repeatedly said he wants a Military Trailer... I completely agree a civi trailer and paint it green is the easiest and best option. But not what he was asking for.

    6CTA m939a2 overheating issue

    You can bypass it and have the fan on all the time for testing, OR remove the Shutterstat from the coolant tube.. Submerge it in water and see if it blows bubbles..

    Cummins 8.3 Intercooler

    The stock system can be modified to have its own coolant system/pump and would work well for short hard pulls but would heat soak over longer high boot periods it just would depend on how large a coolant reservoir you make. .. Air to Air is efficient it is just a bit bulky to plumb and place in...
