I had an opportunity today to look over a military HumVee,
along with a discussion with it's driver.
The radiator core appears to be about two inches thick,
and appears no larger than a standard auto radiator.
(if there is a standard)
It is angled "about" 35 degrees off horizontal, and has a
full hydraulic radiator ahead of it, (about 1" thick), and
a single row power steering cooler ahead of that.
He indicated that even under the most grueling conditions,
everything stays "cool".

Isn't it a diesel? Diesels reject less waste heat to the cooling
system. I think it is rather a low power diesel. Does it have a cooling
fan?

I am so smart, did not ask, (or observed), gas or diesel. Oh well........
I saw a conventional cooling fan with ducting.
