Have a Slantback with Mile Marker hydraulic winch. For the last month after vehicle has warmed up to approx 170 degrees and before the fan clutch engages; you can hear a distinctive chirping sound coming form either (I think) the mile marker solenoid or the fan clutch solenoid. Don't know if the...
No, the original vendor doing the work didn't put the fluids in. The OMS shop where I live has been doing the work on my other HMMWV and have it 100% mission capable. When the HMMWV in question, the one I'm having problems with came in, there was dexron fluid on the bed of the truck. We pulled...
Thanks, Retiredwarhorses,
