    Traffic Stop/I was speeding

    Remember that an officer coming up to your vehicle is really dangerous for them. At that short time they have no idea where things will go. Also I am sure they figure, he is in a HUMVEE he owns guns. For the most part they are doing their job at the start, where it goes from there is usually...

    Should have listened :-)

    You forgot the: Now to "REALLY" start spending money. People think that buying a HUMVEE is the biggest cost. LOL I started with a really nice 998, was that good enough? OHHHHH NOOOO New 6.5L to give it a but more power New tires with the COOL 24 bolt rims.. New high back seats. Hard Doors...

    How to pull-start a HMMWV...

    Pull start a V8 6.5L diesel. That is great that there are people that believe it. I think anyone that actually tries it should loose their HUMVEE license LOL

    Brakes REALLY touchy

    My 998 has really really touchy brakes, it only takes 1/2" tops for them to engage. So far I have yet to see a solution. My major issue is that the brake lights do not come on. The switch is adjusted back as far as it can be.. Anyone have this issue, a solution ? Thanks

    Finally got my Florida Tag and title

    He never stated that it was titled for "On Road" use. 3. Registration includes the restrictions about use and appearance. The registration which is standard includes along with car seat requirements and insurance also includes the restrictions. 4. Tag state "restricted use only". It...

    Security

    Another trick is when you park it leave it in reverse. The average person will not know they need to put it in N to start it.

    Why exactly does forgetting to disconnect batteries kill the KDS/Nartron?

    I was told a long time ago when working on airplanes that you never "hot swap" electronics.. Just a little surge when reconnecting and poof you have a paperweight.. I actually have changed a few and when I disconnect the batteries I actually then turn the switch to on to make sure anything...

    HUmvee seriial #

    Not to be a broken record, the VIN or SN really means nothing on a HUMVEE. if it has been through reset or maybe even repainted you have no idea if that was the original SN.

    What should I do...and what are my options legally.

    I will say it again, three things you can never trust with a MV, Data Plate, Odometer and fuel gauge. Mine is stamped 89 with a 4 digit VIN. Bottom line, Who Cares. How do you know that the vin number was what was originally on the truck? When I called the place that did the reset on mine in...

    What should I do...and what are my options legally.

    Wait, if it was really a 1998 it would have been an M998-A1 I believe, they started production in 1994. The A1 appeared in 1994 with revised front seats, grille and rifle mounts and was essentially developed from the M1097 HHV. These vehicles took on the designation of M998A1

    What should I do...and what are my options legally.

    I have told this to EVERYONE that I talk to about buying military vehicles. Three things to never trust: The Date, the mileage and the fuel gauge... I have a 1998 M998 yet it has a 4 digit serial number (2XXX) Both stamped on the data plate... No way a 1998 would have a 4 digit S/N Do I care...

    Bad News Georgia HMMWV Owners

    One question that I have is what role with GP play and how will it play out over some of the HUMVEEs that that we clearly know were bought there as "Off Road Only" and someone cleaned it up, painted it and then resold it THROUGH GP with a valid (ISH) Title. Who will be responsible when the...

    Good / Bad Comments About HMMWV's??

    I get some odd looks when going to the store and parking, people asking where did you get that, that is cool. Many follow up with, what do you get, 4 gallons to the mile. Have never had a negative reaction except my 15 year old twin boys saying "Dad, drop us off a block away from school, as I...
