12volts or 24volts, for the same watts, the amps are so low that it really doesn't matter, because that switch only powers the fan relay coil, which is what really handles the fan circuit.
Hey Ben, Thanks for the great videos. I have a 1097A2 so anything you are doing on those I would be very interested in. I have my thermostat and fan switch inbound but please keep up the great videos on these! -Mike
I always wondered if a coolant radiator mounted on the roof would help with removing the heat from the engine bay and freeing up space for larger independant heat exchangers/ ac/ trans etc. up front.
I'm sure it would help very much! That angled radiator has a hard time dissipating heat especially at higher speeds! The red dot AC kits sometimes mounted the condensers on the roof like you are saying, they work very well I hear.
@@TheCoralSniper Rerouting the non engine coolant heat exchangers to the roof may be an option allowing a larger engine coolant radiator and I know the trans, Ac, engine oil and diffs etc would benefit from the extra cooling of a roof mounting instead.
Very common misconception, the old 3 speed humvess could reliably run upto 55mph ish but could be pushed closer to redline a fair bit faster (more like 65mph) These newer 4 speed trucks can do 70mph plus reliably. Also fuel economy is not as bad as rumors say, average 11 mpg
I have seen those and studied it a bit, seems to have mixed opinions on if it helps or not. I just figured if I could lower the overall coolant temp it would help those rear cylinders out a bit! Plus these optimizer blocks are improved over the old chevy ones.
Hey, I love your Humvee! Thanks for the info on running cooler as well. I am rebuilding a 1994M998 and I will take your advice and get those sensors and thermostat as well. Can I ask you about the doghouse in yourinterior? Did you build out yourself or was that something you ordered?
@@manniehalmagean5555 no it's not, it's my 2nd humvee, it looks so similar to my last that I can see people thinking it's the same! Obviously I have a favorite look for these trucks 😅
I wrote you a while back, my name is also Ben Carlson, would you be willing to share what type of paint you used? I tried the Bear flat and didn't like the results. I like the satin finish of yours better.
@@benjilacombe7478 hey! The paint i used was a custom mix that I literally combined myself, cant replicate it unfortunately, it was a bit of a mix of dark brown and dark forest green, to get it satin you'll need to tell the auto paint place to mix flattener into the paint. Best to find your automotive paint shop and combine those colors there with a tiny mix till you get it right, it's worth the hassle!
@TheCoralSniper OK, thanks for the reply. Sorry to see your done with these things. I've fixed up a couple to sell, not as nice as yours. On the 3rd now. I kinda wanna keep one but can't really justify it. Have a good evening.
Great job Hummve looks amazing
wow the h2 wheels looks great on the humvee!

Beautiful
looks great. I hear these things are very slow and only do like 55 to 60MPH on the freeway.

Looks amazing! What top did you use on this, and what center console is that?
I used a PlanB hard top and custom made the center console
Love to get the same tire carrier you have . Where can I find one ?
Gotta 87 Humvee with a 6.2. This video really helped out. Where are you located.
@@rockiea4822 I'm located in SW florida 👍
What type of paint did you use for the Humvee?
Great tip thanks for sharing brother new sub here
You should tack about the motor transmission replacement
This truck has the original 6.5 and 4 speed transmission, it's a 2005 M1097A2 all stock

I like your center console? Where can i buy the kit for it?
@@fieldstv I built it myself
I see that you have a 2" body lift, I plan to do that with mine. Can you tell me what issues you ran into?
Thank You
@@louleone8348 It's a 3" body lift, I made a whole video of how to lift a humvee, it's on my channel and it will answer all your questions 👍

Hey dude, nice Jeep! Are you interested in sponsorship for that vehicle?
Sure! Let me know what you are thinking👍
@@TheCoralSniper Great! How can we contact you for more details? It seems there are no other ways on your page.
Did you body lift your humvee, cause I see the springs are oem, but it sits higher than an oem humvee
Yes I did, I always do a 3" body lift on my humvees, I made a video of what all is involved
Thank bud I’ll check them out :)
where did you buy them ?

Dude don't have a clue what he's talking about
Can you elaborate?
