What is the hydraulic fluid type and weight? My cab raises about 4-6" then stops and I can hear the pump operating. There is some rusty fluid, teaspoons, around the small brass filter/vent on the end of the rectangular reservoir/pump assembly. Thanks.

Its not the turbo, its the 4 spd trans that gets you up to 70 mph. I have had both 3 spd and 4 spd, I prefer the 4 spd for the easy 70 speeds and lower RPMs.

Ok I looked it up and it was a Buffalo, South African Casspir mine protected vehicle with Vee -shaped monohull chassis. Says USA has 400 in inventory in various configurations.

Dont know the official designation but one drove by me out at Doyle Yard/Sierra Army Depot, heavy heavy armored unit with vee hull, heavier than a SWAT Bearcat.

DMV never raised the hood! They never asked a single question about the emission control system. Oregon has a line item for the military humvee on its Special Plate form. They check, bill you, give you plates!

Different trucks. Take your humvee to the off road park, or just boondock, find the steepest mudiest hill you can find, put your humvee in low-lock and engage your lockers and it will impress you Im very sure.

Regarding the price asked and condition I can only tell you what I paid for my two humvees purchased from GP. I bought a 2007 M1097R1 in November 2022 for $4600 plus taxes so $5600 and its a strong runner and from Red River Army Depot. The motor runs great (6.5 NA), trans looks like new inside...
From the pics on the auction site Id say they are the old style rear compartment mount. The kit looks pretty complete.

Just replaced mine for an 07 1097R1, napa premium xl 25-7640 for the three and napa premium xl 25-7500 for power steering.

I ran into a power drain of my batts running it to the 12v batt post (leds) so asked an auto electrician. He said run these to the 14v post on the top of the alternator and establish a fuse panel from there. Havent tried it yet but Im going to.
