Hey all,

I'm a new HMMWV owner, happy to join the club. Currently waiting for my EUC to clear... gonna be torture.

What do you guys think? Anything to look out that you can see from the pictures? I know the blowby is there, It doesn't seem too bad so I'm hoping its nothing crazy.

6.5L Diesel Engine, Automatic Transmission w/Park & Overdrive, 4x4, 10,300 lb. GVWR, 2 Door, 37x12.50R16.5 Tires. ***No further demilitarization is required. The HMMWV is available for pick up as shown.*** The Humvee sells with a clean SF97.

My plan is to get a 2-door to 4-door conversion kit (camo) and some aluminum x doors. Keep everything else stock. I'm sure I'll be asking many questions here. Looking forward to joining the family!

Well, welcome to the group! Nice green truck and now you won't have any long boring Saturdays . I have not been through the EUC pain myself but so long as you don't "watch the clock" it will happen sooner than later. Give it about six months.

By the time you have a truck, you should have become familiar with the Technical Manuals (TM's) for your new (to you) truck.
Read a little,
Ask a few questions,
Read a little more.
By the time you have done that a few times, you will have a dozen things you will want to carefully inspect.

Remember with these machines: Grease & Oil are Cheaper Than Parts!

Again, welcome to the group from North Carolina.

....Keep everything else stock.

Stock is OK but I'd get a different driver seat, jus sayin.

guess you already checked into making sure you can register it for on road use ?

I think you made out alright! And welcome aboard, a serpentine 6.5 and 4 speed makes for a nice ride. I wouldn’t sweat the blow by terribly, get some fresh oil in it, check the CDR valve hose (Crankcase Depression Relief) for holes/dry rot, and get it up to operating temperature and see how it looks.

First thing first, before any test drives I’d service every hub, the transmission, engine, power steering, fuel system etc and let her eat. You SHOULD have updated spindle nuts, but until you check them by tearing down each hub, you can’t be certain, and I’d advise not driving it on the road until you do.

Also, one of the cheapest-yet-quickest-to-pay-off-mods you can do for $100 would be the supplementary Ground Harness mod. My video linked below.

Vent lines are cut, gone, or disconnected.
the big box above the right front tire is for jack storage.

When it comes to DMV, if theres a will theres a way

 

[tgejesse]

Thanks everyone else, great suggestions and I'm sure I'll be back real soon!

The waiting game can be torture. If you have any cash left lol, go ahead and get your basic stuff for freshening up. Fluids, filters, glow plugs and maybe any parts that you know are missing(mirrors, doors etc). There will be stuff that must get done first to get it safe. But having items ready to go before it arrives is very helpful, at least in my experience. Kinda like a mom, nesting lol.

Welcome to SS , you should have time to read through the entire hmmwv forum by the time your EUC clears .

I just joined the group today and after waiting on my EUC for 10 weeks, I decided to email customer service last Tuesday, 3.23.2021 and guess what my EUC was completed on 3.15.2021, and they sent it to me that day. Doesn't hurt to be the squeaky wheel...Picked up my M1123 last Thursday.

Welcome to the group! Happy to hear that you got your EUC and that you already have your truck.

Be sure to dig around and get the Technical Manuals (TM's) for your new to you vehicle. Part numbers, how to, goofy things like your brake lights don't work if your headlights aren't on ... All those things that can cause you time and effort have been solved by looking there first.

BE SURE to snap some pictures and upload them. We all enjoy seeing new hardware - and the more pix you have - the better your chances are when asking questions.

Again, CONGRATULATIONS and welcome to the outfit!

Welcome, hit the TM's they're free, when you get stuck ask,

Had you bought any other item in the last three years or so that required EUC?

 

[tbeson]

No this was my first time purchase, original purchase was 01.13.2021, Submitted EUC request 1.14.2021, Govplanet. com Customer service responded 2 weeks later with an email and update on my account on their webpage, that it was submitted to the proper place on 2.1.2021, The waiting game began, on
3.23.2021 I reached out to Govplanet .com and they emailed me back the same day, the EUC was complete, only after I emailed them, The EUC was completed a week earlier by their records., They then updated the website and I was able to print out the release. I found out the OIG and back ground checks were completed on 2.14.2021, so not sure why it takes another 30 days to get the EUC release.

 

[jkcondrey]

Well, thats pretty good. My first one took 7 months and it was around 3 years ago. They say if you have purchased something from them and had to get an EUC then, that you will be much quicker to the finish line on any other purchases. They last updated my file on 2/25/01 so I will be sending emails end of next month I guess.

 

[Havick206]

Did you get your SF97 at the same time or you still waiting on that?

 

[DREDnot]

April fools guys....c'mon.
