Does the HMMWV really have this monster of a heater?? I never heard of this problem before in other vehicles. Wayne

...Must not get cold enough in GA? This can happen in any vehicle... Thermal shock. My old Honda's windshield has a crack in it from last winter, it got down to 9 degrees here. I got called to be at work at 5am, started the car, then scraped the frost off the glass. Got in, turned the defroster on high, glass cracked. I think it's because I waited and let the engine warm up before I turned the heat on, rather than turn on the heat right after starting the engine and let it warm the glass up gradually.

Must not get cold enough in GA? This

You are right about that in South Ga., but I've been to areas that we still had ice on the equipment in June and I don't remember that little bit of information ever coming up. Wayne

BTW I just had to check, according to the internet

The highest temperature recorded in Georgia is 112°, Fahrenheit. This record high was recorded on July 24, 1953 at Louisville.

The lowest temperature in Georgia, -17°, was recorded on January 27, 1940 at CCC Camp

The lowest temperature ever recorded in the lower 48 States was –69.7°F (rounded off to –70°F) at Rogers Pass, Mont., on Jan. 20, 1954.

As with all Internet facts your mileage may vary!
