I watched a program this past Sunday on AHC (old military channel) titled "MILITARY COLLECTORS". The gentleman that was the subject of this episode is a long time restorer of vehicles. The HMMWV came up in the discussion and he stated, "that you'll spend a thousand dollars on maintenance for every thousand miles of operation".
I've owned my USMC M998 since 2002 and I've logged a whopping 8k miles, (zero miles off roading), and while I have made some minor repairs, those 8k miles have cost me about $350-$400 in repairs, (I do my own repairs). I've noticed that I have a rear hub seal that is starting to seep a little now but based off his statement I feel I have neglected my truck for a long time now....OR is he off with his assessment?????
SEMPER FI !!
