    Were non-turbo Humvees produced after introduction of the M11xx-turbos ?

    I have a question for the resident experts here: After production launch of the turbo Humvees (M1114, etc.) around 1996, did AMG still produce non-turbo versions ? And if so, do you know until when ? Can this be proven by something like official documentation, or at least reliable sources ...

    Removing oil from old shocks

    I have four old, worn shocks from a 1987 M998 that I want to trash. However, overhere, recycling is taken very seriously, so I have to remove the oil from the shocks before I can put the shocks into the scrap metal bin. My questions: 1) Are Humvee shocks gas-oil shocks, or just oil shocks ...

    Item found in M997 ambulance

    As I might have mentioned, I´m almost done with a body-off restoration of an M997 ambulance. When I got the ambulance, I found several of these pins in the rear: All of the pins I found are damaged at the same end, some worse than this one. The black tube seems to be made from aluminium (or...

    Shackles on outside of airlift bumper don´t line up

The shackles are Part No. 12342354, just like the TM...

    200 A alternator probably shot - but why, and what now ?

The 200 A is wired for dual voltage use, according to the TMs. I also compared and rechecked all the time with my A2 slantback, which...

    Were 6.5 NA vehicles produced in 2010 ?

    A buddy of mine got an offer for a Humvee with a 6.5 NA diesel, 4 -speed tranny, and the whole thing is supposed to have been build in 2010. I thought with the start of M1114 production around 1996, all newer vehicles have been turbos ? Or did AMG continue to build Humvees with NA engines...

    Another HMMWV saved in Germany

    Hi everybody, I´m Arnd from Dortmund, Germany. I just bought a nice 1985 M998 in four-door softtop configuration. Growing up in Germany in the 80s, I almost daily saw US Forces vehicles on our streets. But the real day when the "green vehicle bug" bit me was at an open day on an USAF base in...
