Description
GREAT RUNNING TRUCK WITH TRAILER AND LOTS OF PARTS TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
This truck is an M998 High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, commonly called a HMMWV (pronounced “humvee”). The Humvee is a 1-1/4 ton truck with a 6.2L V8 diesel engine.
The Humvee is 7’1? wide has a very high ground clearance of 16? under the axles, and its width helps compensate for its high center of gravity. It has 4-wheel independent suspension and full-time 4-wheel drive. Ground clearance is improved by geared hubs in each wheel, which allows the axles to enter the hubs above the centerlines of the wheels. The differentials are mounted even higher, creating the appearance of a cavernous tunnel underneath the truck. The 4-wheel disc brakes are mounted inboard at the differentials.
Although it’s a wide and heavy vehicle, the HMMWV is very easy to drive. It’s curb-to-curb turning diameter is about 11' narrower than many mid-sized SUVs, allowing it to maneuver around obstacles much more easily than you would expect from a truck of its size. It has an automatic transmission and power steering. The power steering applies a lot of steering boost, allowing the driver to make tight stop-to-stop turns with a finger or two. The truck is a joy to drive right from the start.
This truck is a 1989 AM General M998 that belonged to an Army Reserve unit prior to my purchase. It has 16,451 original miles on the motor and three-speed TH400 transmission and received the periodic updates while in service.
When it came under civilian ownership, it was registered, licensed, and insured (and is currently in South Carolina) for road use. The exterior has been truck bed coated black and the soft top and doors have been changed out from woodland camouflage to black. This truck has a keyed ignition and is in mechanically sound condition.
INCLUDED with the Humvee is a 2003 Silver Eagle M1101 Cargo Trailer. The Silver Eagle M1101 is designed to be fully compatible with the military High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle, (HMMWV). The trailer has a similar width, ground clearance and wheel track as the HMMWV.
ADDITIONAL PARTS that are included are a full NOS Red Dot Air Conditioning System that has never been installed, complete turbo system from a 6.5L V8 diesel Chevy Express Van, an Ibis Tek 40k lbs. mlitary tow bar, pintle hitch mount for civilian trucks, military 12 pin to civilian 7 pin trailer lighting adapter, 700R4 automatic transmission with 4 speed gear shift, four leather seats w/armrests, and a radio tray mount.
