    GovPlanet Humvee Arrival and Inspection

    To be fair, I say new pump in the sense that the old pump is bad and a new pump is required, that pump could be a new, used or rebuilt pump…just not the broken pump in your truck.

    first off, looking at your pics of your pump? that pump is not rebuildable, I’ve sent tons of pump to DCP before Stewart left and they were fine, once he left…forget it, every pump I got back was garbage, I still have pumps in the box on the shelf I don’t use. DCP does not replace the most...

    ECV Humvee AC kit on a M1123/M998
