    Just the rattle of ammo cans in the back. ....

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    Exactly that. The roofers staying in the room below me saw the cans and commented on them. And thus a sale was had... I ordered wings from pizza hut...

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    This was my impression as well. This is the first time it's been thoroughly heat soaked for an extended period. Thanks for your input.

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    Was full this morning. I didn't open it hot. Temp Guage and fan working like they should. It was just spitting small amounts of coolant, and only after idling hot for 10min or so.

    Applied Companies Trailer 23KW Gen w/HVAC Unit issues

    Just a shot in the dark.... but it is possible your buzzing is that you have the aux fuel pump switched on?

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    Today's drive was completely uneventful. And it no longer pukes coolant at hot idle. Sold some more cans. Time to order pizza....

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    The truck and it's contents were still here this morning. Pretrip inspection shows no anomalies - full of transmission fluid, coolant, and oil. With no oil in the coolant and no coolant in the oil. One thing it is doing - it pukes coolant at hot idle. Temp doesn't go high, but when I stop for...

    I think it's a temporary blip.

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    Simp is about 100 miles behind me. Some things Wes gets backwards- he's the one doing me a favor, so I should be buying lunch. Instead Wes bought the BBQ. The ribs were good. And I went from having zero spare tires to having three.

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    Fan cycling on and off like it should. Sun went down and the temp dropped and the frequency and duration of "fan on" decreased. 14.5mpg is better than I expected. This includes idling on start up and idling before shut down. I'm running 40psi in the tires. This seems like a good compromise...

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    I'll make timing convenient.....it won't be 0200. That's a carnac thing, lol.... Pics from today's Walmart stop. Got in about 400miles today. HMMWV running fine, cruising 55ish. 191miles on 13.2 gallons of fuel. I'd have more pics, but the phone died. Hopefully I'll do better tomorrow.....

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Of all the aftermarket "improvements" , the amber lights seem pretty benign in the scheme of things. They look good to me....

    Yeah, it is somewhat pronounced isn't it? Similarly startling in a 5ton. By the way, I anticipate stopping for the night in Springfield tomorrow evening. I have some more of those cargo covers that don't fit your truck.... :)
