Thanks Nick. I'll give you a shout this afternoon.

Hey guys, As I continue to wait for my EUC to clear (been 10.5 weeks now, hopefully any day), it's beginning to look less and less like I'll have time to go pickup my M1123. Anyone here care to quote me to transport from Yermo CA to Colorado Springs CO (80926)? I haven't yet posted to uship...

Congratulations! Just curious, what vehicle and have you had previous EUC approvals?

I'm so jealous!! Still waiting on approval for my M1123, EUC submitted on 07 June.

Just left a Gov Planet yard here in CO picking up some parts and asked of they ever get any Humvee's. He said they do, buy the Biden administration has now ordered them to all be crushed and no longer sold to the public. Anyone else heard this?!?! I hope its not true!!!! Still waiting on my...

Wow, so sorry to hear about your experience! Please keep us up to speed on what happens from here. Sure hope GP goes above and beyond to try and make things right for you!

Here's an article that talks about GEP taking over production of the 6.5 and the reliability improvements made: GM 6.5 Diesel Engine - The Optimizer 6500 (enginebuildermag.com) Yes, the later models came with the 4L80e which has the same ratios 1-3 as the TH400, but adds a 0.75 OD.

I thought that Bill might provide a nice loophole, but it looks like it "Lost". Probably not worth pushing on that one since it doesn't provide the type of use that many of us would like. SgtMajHarper is probably correct in his response to my comments earlier in this thread (where he states...

Unless I'm missing something, Mr. Crowder is no longer a CO legislator. I actually sent an email to Mr. Valdez on this subject a couple months back, but never received a response (which is about what I expected).

What happens when 2500 signatures are reached?

Congratulations! I'm so jealous. I keep hoping I'll be one of the lucky ones that doesn't have to wait 2+ months, but it's not looking good. I'm about 5 weeks since my EUC was submitted to TCS. Wish I had a phone number for someone over in TCS so I could be the squeaky wheel :p.

Really cool, and I'm sure it's a blast to drive! I love the d-max engine, but IF I do an engine swap I'll probably go gas. Having owned stock and modified diesel trucks, unless I'm towing heavy, I prefer the powerband of a healthy gas engine. Now, if the HMMWV came with a D-max, 6bt, or even...

Are you able to get any of these tires new in a 16.5? I've been planning on swapping to 17's as I couldn't find anything available for 16.5's. I've seen some surplus tires but worry about the age. Wish they'd put the date code in the pics on govplanet.

Awesome M998! Man I can't wait! Assuming I can get the 6.5 fired up, I'm planning to stop in Moab on the way home and spend a couple days out on the trails. When I was in Moab for a race a few months back I wheeled my wife's H3. It actually did really well. It'll be fun to try a couple of...

Great input. 6.5 mods are probably not the best choice. When my CJ had the stock 6cyl I timed the 0-60 time at 23sec. Sounds terrible. But it was still very fun to drive. Yeah, it was more fun later when it had more power, but I still drove it every chance I got. I'm sure the HMMWV will be...

I'd say 5 sec 0-60 is a nice gain. ;-) I actually already have a Jeep CJ7 that I'd put a built AMC 401 in and am now swapping a procharged LS stroker into. I'm not dead set on a swap, but I do think the HMMWV is a great candidate given it already has a 4l80e. The money shouldn't be too bad...

Thanks for the insight. Hopefully I feel the same way, but my track record is not good. Seems I engine swap and/or supercharge just about everything I drive.

Hey Guys, While I sit here checking my EUC status 5 times a day every day, I can't help but day dream about all my plans for my HMMWV. I've purchased a M1123 with the 6.5L NA engine. My original plan was to immediately swap the diesel out for an LS3 I have, but I've been wondering how bad the...

Any updates on this? I didn't see mention of SB 20 - 115 which should ALLOW a military vehicle to be titled for on-road use IF it is to be used for farm purposes. If you haven't seen it: Register Surplus Military Vehicle As Farm Vehicle | Colorado General Assembly Not sure if that helps...

Bought my m1123 on 02 June, EUC filed 03 June. Looks like I have a long time to wait yet, to bad I'm so impatient! This is my first HMMWV and I'm way too excited.
