    center pin positive or negative on slave cable??

    I never doubted you, just couldn't resist a good pun.

    center pin positive or negative on slave cable??

    Are you positive? Just checking, not trying to be negative.

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    It's amazing to me that they remove the rear doors as part of the demil process. How dare we peasants own a vehicle that can transport sick people? Meanwhile we have no problem giving away fully armored M1151's with machine guns to the Taliban and Ukraine.

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    As long as the serial number is below 300xxx then you should have no problems finding parts. Above 300xxx you should also be good, with the exeption of a few items such as the fan clutch and steering box.

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    Not all HMMWV's on Gov Planet are from the military. Some are from other government entities and some are even private party.

    Armor demil

    You will also have to modify the snorkel mount or get a new one for non-armored trucks, install windshield washer nozzles, and do something about the fording exhaust. The fording exhaust will stick out pretty far to make room for the armor. I just deleted mine. Oh and install normal mirrors.

    Armor demil

    Yes but on an m1151. Similar truck but slantback.

    Armor demil

    Take the roof overlay off, add "gutters" (either the official parts from AMG, or you can make them out of 6" x 1/4" aluminum sheets), buy regular windshields, the windshield retainers specifically made for the M11XX series trucks (NOT M998 ), throw on some X-doors, and fill all the holes with...

    REV truck?

    ECV's also have rear diff coolers, but they are cooled with ATF instead of coolant.

    Are all good trucks gone?

    Diesel is $6.49 in my area. People can't afford groceries, let alone buy a humvee. It's a buyers market, proceed accordingly.

    Are all good trucks gone?

    Two running M1165's were sold today under 12K. Whoever got these should be happy: https://www.govplanet.com/for-sale/Humvees-2007-AM-General-M1165A1-HMMWV-4-Door-Hard-Top-w%2FTruck-Body-Georgia/7955825?h=5000%2Csm%7C1%2Ck%7Cm1165%2Csort%7Cad+desc%2Cmf%7C1&rr=1&hitprm=&pnLink=yes...

    Slantback cargo door forward latch caution.

    All I can say is make 100% sure that both of the rear latches are FULLY engaged before attempting to open it from the top. If one of them is not fully engaged, the whole door will come off and you'll have a heck of a time getting it back on. Also, make sure you have both of the struts...

    REV truck?

    Yep, 258xxx serial range. From what I hear I'm actually happy to NOT have some of the REV "upgrades" and associated replacement costs.

    REV truck?

    Lol no, that was just the winning bid. Still had to pay buyers premium, tax, shipping, etc. But it was running a driving, just needed doors and paint (and random small parts).

    REV truck?

    I got my running m1151 ECV for 12.6k 😝

    What are major differences between M1167 M1151A1

    M1167 is the TOW missile variant so the turret is different. They also have covers on the slantback hatch seal to protect the seal from the missile blast. Other than that, I'm not sure. You can check out the spec sheets here: https://www.amgeneral.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/M1167.pdf...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Got a 1919a4 mounted on my poor mans turret (still a work in progress)

    Current EUC Wait Time

    The government takes forever to do anything. If they were a business they would be out of business a LONG time ago. Zero out of 5 stars, do not recommend.

    Current EUC Wait Time

    Just received a response from GovPlanet regarding my SF97 which was applied for on 7/19/22: "According to our records, we show that your SF97 for item#[redacted] was sent off to USMC for signature on 10/26/2022. We send these off in batches to USMC for signature and they are only allowing 150...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    They are actually OEM turret hatch latches I got from Mac Motors. I will make a build thread complete with all part numbers when its done.
