Won M1152. Evaluations please.

[KingvonH]

Hello everyone. Newbie to the forum and hmmwv's. Used to be a jeep guy, but always wanted an hmmwv. Won this auction October 6 and wanted to put it up for yall with a sharper eye than me for anything obvious that may need attention or recommendations. I'm aware of the blow by but it's really only thing other than the missing fording control/plate which I ordered already from kaskar already that I've noticed. Also ordered a 4 man conversion kit and some smittybilt seats. Any insights or recommendations are appreciated! Item 4571688 on govplanet.

That's why I posted the item number from the auction, so can be found on Govplanet with description report, pics and a couple of videos.

Looks like it’s in good shape. Smokes a little out of the oil tube. Tires don’t match but they all probably need to be replaced anyways. Needs a Good cleaning as they all do. I think you have a good starting point for a nice truck. Congratulations

I suspect idle rpm is just fine. My m1165 tach shows the same idle speed. I checked it with a laser tach and it was spot on. More info on it and most likely cause in this thread:

Tachometer Inaccurate?

I have a 2006 M1165, 6.5 turbo, 60mph speedo and a tachometer. My problem is that the tach rpm reading is wrong. The tach shows idle at 950rpm, but my handheld rpm meter shows 700rpm. And with the engine speed set and showing as 2000rpm on the tach, my handheld meter is reading 1500rpm. I...

Welcome to the club. Start looking through the TMs especially the -9-2320-387-24P Maintenance Parts Manual.

I keep both hard copy and PDF for each Echelon, I work faster with the hardcopy manuals, but it is impractical to carry 50lbs and 5 different binders full of pages in EACH truck.
