    Humvee Starter / Flexplate Teeth

    The switch is very important. 20 Amp rating on the RUN and 20 Amp on the start WITH 70 Amp inductive. Be very careful of knock-off sales. One way to tell is the plating. If it is shinny like polished brass...likely bad news. 75 clams for the real deal. See spec sheet. Keyed option wired...

    Humvee Starter / Flexplate Teeth

    Did you state keyed or standard military switch? Either way a fouled switch could hang in the start position and keep the solenoid engaged. On start, 24 volts goes straight thru box to starter solenoid coil. Any box if water damaged can have shorts and failure point. Not seeing it is hard...

    How long should it take a humvee to warm up?

    Did you check for proper fan operation? If the fan is locked up... system wonky, it would be hard to get it to heat up. Not seeing it IMO and a guess... fan is hung up due to all things fan operation. Never read was working correctly. (may have missed it) Or has been messed with...

    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...

    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)...

    Exactly. Well stated. Know what it is and isn't. It's capability and yours. (y) If that was staged... Take look at the Yermo yard out back. Crash and burn like any other truck... maybe more so. Back to wrenching, CAMO
