@supr65 - Did you drive your HMMWV to the DMV to get it inspected, or trailer it /tow it? @Gcelevator - We paid GovPlanet for the title service - an extra $200 if I recall correctly - and on the phone I asked if the title would be for my state, Oregon, and they told me they are all issued...

@KKroger - Thanks for the tip. The TM I have does not show the power steering pump I have. Our HMMWV is the one with the reservoir on the pump / pulley assembly.

@GuntherRommel - I have a couple questions for you: How long ago was your last HMMWV registered - DMV'd in Oregon? Did you buy your HMMWV from GovPlanet and get the SF97 from them? If you got your SF97 from GovPlanet did you also opt for their title service? We opted for the GovPlanet SF97 +...

Did you find any Oregon HMMWV owners that shared their experience on registering for road use?

UPDATE: I added some ATF fluid to the resevoir on the power steering pump a couple nights ago - made a bloody mess overfilling it - and I was able to turn the steering wheel left and right. It sure does make a lot of noise though. Does the howling indicate a power steering pump issue? I was...

@98G - I don't see any of those panels in my bed or inside the passenger area - see photos. @Retiredwarhorses - I tried turning the adjuctment knob on the brake lever both directions and did not have any luck.

@FlameRed - I saw that, but I also saw folks with Oregon tags so not sure what to make of it. @Retiredwarhorses - Does that mean I get a special plate for Oregon and just use it on the street? I've never owned a "Historic" vehicle before.

I think our HMMWV is a M998 older model. I am looking for a TM that shows where the cable is routed. The TM I found shows access panels for the parking brake in the bed of the truck but we don't seem to have those access panels.

Hello HMMWV Folks, We just got our M1097R1 HMMWV from GovPlanet delivered and are still awaiting the title stuff (told up to 90 days). We live in Southern Oregon and would like to know what issues we may encounter, if any, when we get to the point of getting our HMMWV street legal. If there...

Hello, I cannot engage the parking brake on our (new to us) M1097R1 HMMWV. It feels like it is stuck when I try and lift (engage) the parking brake lever. Once in a while I was able to get it to engage and it hold the truck well, but most of the time I cannot not pull up the brake lever. If...

@TOBASH - Thank you. I will get the manuals and get reading. I found their website. They are in California and I am in Oregon so I won't be visiting them for this. Maybe they have parts I need so if they ship I will see. Seems this is a GM part power steering pump with different valving...

@NDT - Thank you for the reply. In another forum post I read that the owner need a 1900 PSI power steering pump. Would my HMMWV need the same? @TOBASH - Thank you. I have a M1097R1 and did not see my model listed. Is my HMMWV compatible with one or more of the other manuals, and if so...

Looking at other HMMWVs on GovPlanet I see this big round thing: This is our engine from above and we do not seem to have this part. Is it missing, or is our engine just different?

@juanprado - Thank you for your replies. We are not planning to remove anything at this time, but honestly do not know since we only had the truck 2 days - so much to learn and decisions yet to make on how we want to setup and use this truck. It starts up and runs but the steering is like...

@patracy - DOH. Thank you for pointing that out. Yes, I was in the TM forums. Sorry for bothering you. I made my post in the HMMWV forum that was down the page.
