    Caution about Iron Planet/Gov Planet HMMWV's

    As Tobash said, the Military still have lots of them they are still using them, and until full production of some type of replacement is entering service in numbers they will keep auctioning them off, for years to come. Although some never make it to auction, they do cut some up in pieces for...

    Caution about Iron Planet/Gov Planet HMMWV's

    I would say we're in between a NE car and a West coast vehicle. Having just moved a year ago from WA state and I have 9 vehicles (only 3 vehicles in Hawaii, rest of sitting in my shop in WA). I did spend a couple of years living on the Big Island when I was in High School. I've got a lift in my...

    Just on a different question. Has anyone tried the Energy Suspension Control Arm bushings?

    Caution about Iron Planet/Gov Planet HMMWV's

    Mogman, we'll see in the long run but I've been using Dexcool in my M998 for about 8yrs now and no issues. For the cooling I also installed the Paradox cylinder cooling upgrade a few years ago on my M998. I'm making my own for the M1097A2, just drilling and tapping the rear cooling plates myself...

    Caution about Iron Planet/Gov Planet HMMWV's

    I agree with Tobash in that if you can go to your GovPlanet location and look over the vehicles yourself, and maybe even get to know the guy working there, you can find some great deals. In WA state I got to know the guy working there and he called me when he got a new supply of good vehicles...

    Caution about Iron Planet/Gov Planet HMMWV's

    juanprado, I swapped to Dexcool for a couple of reasons. For one, the Green stuff is getting harder to find over here. GM recommends Dexcool in all 2005 up vehicles. Dexcool lasts much longer and Dexcool is much easier on Aluminum. Longer flush intervals too. You are correct in that the system...

    Caution about Iron Planet/Gov Planet HMMWV's

    Tobash, in my case I own a house in WA and most of my vehicles are still there including my M998 (w/4L80e conversion). I got a new job in Hawaii and am living here now and the GovPlanet on Island is who I bought both of my M1097A2's from. I'll be building a Shop, then a house on the Big Island...

    Caution about Iron Planet/Gov Planet HMMWV's

    I know this should be obvious, but I'll post it anyways. My first HMMWV, a M998 from GovPlanet in Western WA was a '89 in great shape, came from a OR Guard unit with '06 MMA overhaul, 218 w/6.5. Fluids all looked fresh and correct but being anal I swapped everything fresh with Redline...
