Could be, but I figured the fan should have came on at least once on the way home.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
First time your fan really kicks on, you will probably pull over thinking something bad happened lol, it's loud and you feel the engine power reduce. You will know when it kicks on.Before it kicks on is it normal for the fan to spin at all?
I just picked my Humvee up a few days ago and only ran it long enough to inflate the tires and drive up onto the trailer.
started right up on a 20ºF day, batteries look new.
air filter was last "blown out" in 2012 and still looks very clean.(probably hasn't been used much since 2012)
turned it off as the gauge crept towards 220ºF(made me nervous, i'm used to temps staying at center of range)
didn't hear it kick on. but it did spin at a relaxed speed from the moment the engine was started.
It is in fact immovable when engine is off.
I've never seen belts as loose as these.
After getting home(3hour drive) I noticed a coolant spot on my trailer deck. found a loose clamp on a hose connecting top of radiator.
I wish someone would have told me this before I got mine in the road the first time! I thought the truck was about to fly apart.First time your fan really kicks on, you will probably pull over thinking something bad happened lol, it's loud and you feel the engine power reduce.

. It only cost down to 140 when I unplug the thermostat control module and the fan runs nonstopIf the fan comes on and cools the motor down to 140, I would try a different gauge.
