What to know before buying a Military Hummer

[@EddieLeal]

Unless you are a gear head and have some deep pockets. I don't recommend you buy one. I was an Army mechanic for 10 years and worked on thee vehicles all of the time. These vehicles have issues and require constant maintenance. Most issues came from the generator/alternator, power steering and starters. Some issues where human made. People not waiting for the glow plug wait light to go off before starting the engine. It will start at first but after a while the glow plugs will start to swell/glow plug controller will go out. They also have a PCM that likes to go out from time to time. People that don't know any better will try to use eather to get them to start. Not a good idea. If the glow plugs swell you will catch hell trying to replace them. If you still want to buy one go for it. Just keep in mind that you will need to have plenty of tools/know how to keep these bad boys running smoothly especially if you live in the colder climates. Good luck all! ;)

[@SosaGamer]

EDDIE LEAL just swap the motor and your good

[@edbo10]

let's not forget the fact that nearly every one of them is driven by people fresh out of high school and fully aware that it is not their own vehicle. If you get one off a private owner you can at least have some form of assurance as to what's been going on, assuming the owner refurbished everything important.

[@AsianNIGMA]

EDDIE LEAL not to mention finding parts is ridiculously expensive and I’ll most likely need new switches, gauges, lights, etc... which can really add up because these things are beat up and left in the rain, I’ll just shoot for a H1 thanks

[@bulletz9280]

Most of the problems and horror stories with maintaining military hummers in active service comes from the fact that the military is not allowed to use aftermarket parts, absolutely everything it uses must be tied to a supply contract. That means an AM General alternator going out because it's badly made will result in an identical badly made AM General alternator replacing it. Civilians on the other hand have the luxury of the open marketplace where it's usually going to be a one time matter of adapting a different part to work. The military also can't do things like a Cummins swap, so whatever issues it has with the engine are only fixed when the military tells AM General to send them better engines. This problem is the main reason why the military dumped AM General, and awarded the replacement to the reliability king, Oshkosh.

[@lbiful]

Hummer is not a company. AM General made both the Humvee and Hummer. General Motors later bought the rights to the Hummer brand name allowing them to market the Hummer H2 and 3 Thus why we refer to the original Hummer as the H1.

There are 2 main contracts, one from the Marine Corps, = Clean SF97 ( Highway use) and there is the other contract from DLA (Defense Logistics Agency) = Non Clean SF97 (Has Stamp Off Road Use only). You have to choose your humvee correctly online.

Hey vern do me a favor and put a humvee in front of thw other 98% of the people who view this video and ask them if they know what an hmmwv is.

I've bought a lot of 5 tons off gov plant and never had much trouble i can say a bill of sale and de-milled form are a lot easier to title and you can change the gvw and insure it as RV uses $40 a month

[@SpectrumSpectacle]

How do you change the GVWR? I want to register one in Cali, but they banned all commercial vehicles with engines older than 2010.

[@the_bmx_tim2815]

This is not a Hummer. Hummers are inspired by this, which is actually an Am General HMMWV, but the Hummer is a luxury rendition. HMMWV means Highly Mobile Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, and can be referred to as a Humvee.

[@MisterJ.J.]

Decades ago, military service people in the field originally nicknamed the HMMWV a Humvee and Hummer too. Later General Motors trademarked and marketed the Hummer name to sell H1, H2, and H3's. H1s and the middle third of the H2 were designed and built by AM General at the former Hummer factory. H3's were completely a General motors Hummer design based off of the Chevy Colorado and GMC canyon truck frames. They are all great medium duty off-road vehicles.

[@andrewmcphail1708]

Will you stop calling the military version “Hummers?” They are not call or referred to as Hummers. They are Humvee’s. Thanks

[@brazenbull636]

I've street legalled a "homemade motorcycle" (ohv with swapped frame in a not-dualsport-friendly state). Street legaling these should not be hard. DMV form signed by state police saying theyve inspected the vin, and either (depending on state) a signed statement by you or DOT inspection signed by a dealership/mechanic attesting that it has all required DOT approved lights, tires, and a horn. Tho this was the process to do a bike, I imagine it should be just about identical..

[@AllThingsRamdom]

You don't need an sf97 document to get a title for a Humvee. It'll also work with a bill of sale which is a much cheaper option to go with. When you go to get a title you'll have to provide an invoice showing that you purchased a vehicle for tax purposes and to show that you are the one who actually purchased the vehicle. You will also need to have a VIN check done on the vehicle. You can obtain a title without registering the vehicle and inspection does not have to be done other than a VIN check in most States when obtaining strictly a title. If you do go to register the vehicle on your state requires safety and emissions you will have to add some things to the Humvee so it will pass safety. You are required to have a light for your license plate however aside from this in most States that is mainly the only thing you have to install on the Humvee to make it legal because it is already equipped with all the other appropriate things necessary to pass that is if the vehicle has been gone through and you check the brakes and make sure everything in that regard are functioning properly. A lot of states are now catching on to these Humvees being purchased off govplanet and are putting in regulations to prevent them from being registered on Road. You have to go through several hurdles to get them Street legalized in the states that are buckling down on these regulations.

[@Ckcdillpickle]
