Rear Cylinder improved cooling kit

Post by SinDiesel » Sat Apr 22, 2017 6:25 pm

Has anybody seen this HMMWV rear cylinder improved cooling kit for sale or incorporated something similar.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Humvee-HMMWV-H1 ... SwJ4hY93r~

Just curious if it offers any noticeable difference or improvement in reliability. Anyone have any feed back?

is that to help with overheating? If so, you should fix the problem, not put a bandaid on it.
Do these guys on SS know that diesels run hotter, or do they think the #8 cylinder area will crack on their blocks? I assume they dont know anything about #8.
I would just stick a water crossover pipe from the front on the rear, like someone mentioned. It would flow mor water.

I wonder about it loosening up and leaking while off roading since it is not secured. Lost of joints to leak.

It is a solution looking for a problem. It won't hurt anything though, but put some "no step" decals on it, because it may break if someone walks on it.

I know this thread is a bit old but with hundreds of kits in service worldwide and zero failures I think that needs to be put out there. Plus despite every iteration of these kits have zero reliability issues, they are now armored braided hose with soft rubber coatings on top and billet aluminum fittings. All connections are AN (Army/Navy) to keep them mil spec.

Size of the system is very critical to balance the engine temps. Mounting a front crossover on the back will pass coolant from one side to the other (not really a benefit) and still requires a connection to the front to have any effect and as previously mentioned has to be correctly sized.

These kits are really good insurance for these blocks.

I can mix up a special formula that can just be poured into any engine cooling system and it will put your mind at ease for anything bad happening.

I drink what I don't pour into the radiator so I'd have to say no.

And still, not an ounce of scientific Technical data to support the claim.
I just had a truck here in the shop with that kit installed, ran the same as the other 15 trucks in the shop with no kit.
As a matter of fact, my shop truck does not move past 200 ever....all OEM.

Do not waste your money on this, the product does not work and in fact there is data out there that states it makes things worse.
