So you are saying the military will auction a humvee with a turbo engine, but first they will put in an N/A motor and replace the wiring and other related parts? Lololol
There are 4 bolts holding the upper spring perch to the frame rail. Look at the area that the spring touches the mount. If that spot is between the upper and lower bolts, it is cast. The welded version has the coil touching at the bottom of the mount, below all 4 bolts.
Your data plate shows "m998a1". There is the "a1"
Also, your dash may be broken. The lights switch is sticking way out. There should be 4 tabs behind the face of the dash to hold the switch further back...
You have to use what is on the data plate. It isn't supposed to be on the road, anyways.
The serial number would help to get a year of production, but I haven't seen a list of cut-off numbers. There is a post on this site where the guy will get you info from your VIN.
Humvees were not inproduction in 1982, and 2004 was not the last year.
As far as you driving a 1994 with a 6.2. That is entirely possible, because it could be a new data plate with the wrong year, as many of the GP Humvees have.
