DLA is crushing them....

Because it isn't unusual to snap the half shafts at stock power levels.

The breaking of HS’s is not a HP and torque issue on hmmwv’s, its improper use of BTM and operator error.

To elaborate - get a wheel in the air spinning and hit the brakes and jerk it to a stop and snap it.
What's your take on a hmmwv's tolerance to increased power?
No more army HMMWVs is big news and deserves its own thread for discussion. I was unaware of it and I'll bet many others are as well.

if you look at the auctions, there hasn’t been any real number of army trucks for some time.
on FB there is forum run by Dave Demorrow Called AMVO, association of military vehicle owners that tracks this kind of stuff.

Now that you mention it, I have been seeing mostly USMC trucks.

Using the words "reasonable cost" and HMMWV in the same sentence is the highest example of an oxymoron ever made.

I don't understand. Whether it's an army truck, USMC truck, etc. aren't they all disposed of through the DLA? It's the DLA that provides the SF97, not the branch where the unit came from. Am I missing something?

Right. Since the deal is done through the DLA, they issue the SF97. It's not the branch it came from. So why would the DLA make an SF97 with off road only use, and another with on road use, for the same truck?

I recommend reading through some of the threads in the "Politics" forum. It explains a fair bit of this.
Here's a good start (Page 2):
@TMOMW is actually working with the government to stop the senseless scrapping of perfectly sellable HMMWVs.
Here's a good start (Page 2):
Way Ahead for Kansans to on road title MV stamped Off Road Use
I don't see a basis for confusion. What am I missing?

ok clift notes version here..
DLA is stopping all donations and sales of former MVs (already moved on he vast majority of them)…
USMC and SOCOM found a loop hole that allows for SOME exchange sales....
DLA is trying to stop them too....
army M998s and 1038s are the ONLY DLA trucks that were supposed to be released, the 2x 1025s and the 1037 they sold via IP are supposed to be returned (if they ever find them). the other trucks (socom and USMC) were released in opisition of TACOM and DLA. BUT will be sold until the current contracts are expired (by date not number of vehicles). when the contract is up they MAY have another contract or be directed to be crushed as all army hmmwvs are now. DLA lied to OSD stating all hmmwvs are now armored (untrue ) and must be crushed.
