But the other pic showed a 6.5. We are looking at photos from two different HMMWV's......

Here some pics as requested:

Ha ha.....someone lucky brother just bought this one in Texas,,,,says it's a 6.5...but the photo of the block says different.....GP... http://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/item/898851?h=null&do=1

Had to use my impact wrench to get most of them off. Replaced with OEM nuts.

Good to know! thanx

Great info. Thanks guys!!!!!

I guess the reason I have had such great luck with 6.5's is that they are usually newer motors. I have a 1989 M1038 that had the 6.5 put in on 2003, and have owned 3 other M998's with 6.5's that I have sold. Then of course all the blogs and diesel truck sites overwelmingly choose the 6.5 over...

Just got an email from a buddy in Houston who got his 6.5l HMMWV home to find out it was a 6.2l. Some people don't know how to tell the difference. When I checked the description...it says 6.5l. But upon inspection it was definitely a 6.2 with the bolt showing on the left side of the oil pump. I...

What is confusing is that I am getting two different answers from two different people.....did you take the time to read all the comments?

That's okay.......I usually get smart ass answers like "Well then, you should have bought an H1." But yes, little confused with contradictory answers......

I figured so......but was afraid to pull the trigger. Thank you brother!

Wanted to replace a bunch of rusty, warn lug nuts. Seems that the only lug nuts I could find 9/16" R18 thread don't fit as tight going on as what I took off. The new ones glide right on, and when I put the old ones back on, I have to use the inpact driver. Appreciate any help.

Just speaking from my own experience last November when I went to get a title at The Medina County tax office in Castroville, Tx. Had to go to Bandera County to get a title.

I think you'd have to show up here in Texas at The DMV with a title stamped with Off Road Use Only to understand.

When you buy from GP, you are given the option to pay for just the bill of sale, or pay an extra $150.00 for the title. The GP title has "For Off Road Use Only" on it so this way you can take your bill of sale to a bonding company and have them give you an exempt title. I think once your stuck...

I must admit I am partly to blame for not doing more research. Just trusted this guy....lol...some years ago my captain repeated over and over...."trust, but verify."

That's what I'm thinking as the Texas dealer who sold it to me actually is paid by GP to hold pre-sold/auctioned military vehicles at his yard here in Texas.

There is no delivery date or re-set date on the data plate on the pillar. And GP did not list a year model for this vehicle at auctionn - they left it blank. The person who sold it to me is a Texas dealer. So...where did this 1998 come from....?

Speaking with a legal aid later today at Fort Sam Houston. Thanx

I think you comment about "buyer beware" is right on point. Also, this vehicle was not stolen....I actually found the original auction (GovPLanet) where it was listed with NO year model. GP does list items for sale without a model year. As far as me "attacking" your friend, I think your being a...
