Anyone Know what Serial Number AMGeneral Assigned to the First Production M998?

[70deuce]

I have M998 serial number 000337 obtained from Ft Carson, CO previously assigned to the 10th Special Forces Group there. Delivery date 2/4/1985. This has to be one of the very early units delivered to the Army. Question is did AMGeneral start at 000000 or some other higher number. Not unusual to do so. I sent an email to them asking same question. No response yet.

Not sure if the SN really means much. mine is in the 4000 range yet stamped as 1989

Don't expect any answers out of AMG.

When did the m998a1 come out?

Do those just follow the same serial number pattern?

Thanks "Retiredwarhorses". Makes the one I have one of the first M998s built. Picture of it next to to some serious hardware. Separate thread to follow. MVCC was invited to display our vehicles at the grand reopening of the 4th ID Museum at Ft Carson, CO in Colorado Springs.

The first one I bought was SN 000369 it was a 1985 from the SDNG. I should have kept it...

Question.
Just purchased one. GovPlanet could not provide year of manufacture, but I have serial #002569. What year is my HMMWV?

Do you no why my 85 has only two zeros. ? 003386 Thats what data plack says.

Because, according to post #2, serial numbers went up to 8500 in 1985. 3386 falls between 1 and 8500. They all have 6 digits.

I have a 1989 M1038 with a stamped Ser# of 0996324.

300,000 started in 2007. You must have one from the future ! or a non original plate.

Three out of the 14 I've bought since Jan have serial numbers that are not in sync with the pattern. This M1038 was taken to Maine Military Authority for a engine overhaul (among other things) in 2002 and has the same serial number going in as going out....per Tim Corbett...MMA Director. When it came to numbering vehicles, nothing seems to have been set in stone....and 90% of the time I use the regular pattern for dating humvees as you do.

I would still go with @Action's theory of your HMMWV being from the future. Check for lasers and/or a Mr. Fusion.

Gee, might want to read one of the earlier posts. Better act quick before they shut down that thread.

He updated the rules on that thread and you need more than one post now.
