WILL THIS HUMVEE RUN?! | SITTING FOR 11 YEARS !

She is a lovely assistant, and knowledgeable too!

[@maddrummer910]

Make sure you have main shifter in neutral if you’re switching between HL H N or L. That’s why it was grinding. Sometimes it’ll still do it even if In that case you just turn the engine off and try again.

[@michaelroberts8140]

I just got one from Govplanet, I'm trying to schedule my pickup now. I'm considering doing a build series because it's gonna need some work.

[@HHWheels]

Yes!! That would be awesome! Are you going to keep it a military style vehicle or completely modify it out??

[@michaelroberts8140]

@@HHWheels I will keep it as a military style hmmwv. I will add a few comforts that will make it a little more road worthy. But for the most part just cleanup and replace/rebuild anything that's broke.

[@Rhosticks]

Good stuff. If you haven't already, I'd suggest replacing the filter in the fuel water separator. It's that little canister behind the oil dipstick tube. You can also bleed the air from the system from the top of that same canister using a flathead screwdriver or a coin.

[@HHWheels]

Thank you for the tip! We did actually! It made a huge difference. One of the guys at Gov Planet suggested we do it!

[@Rhosticks]

Great stuff guys!! Legendary beyond titanic proportions! You look amazing behind the wheel of that Humvee Caroline!! ❤ Love the pony tail in the wind 🤣

[@ferdinandsanjuan4955]

HHWheels👍 Beautiful Caroline❤❤❤

[@geipelstoys9923]

Awesome! I knew that thing wouldnt take too terribly much to get runnin, they are freakin tanks! Always wanted one!

[@HHWheels]

Hahaha literally! We are super impressed. They are pretty tight (space-wise) to work on, but surprisingly simple 👌

[@TheKiltedKraut]

Tanks are made of steel and have a variety of armor plates protecting the occupants. This Humvee is obviously not a tank!! There are no doors (and if they did have doors they'd probably be vinyl) and most of the chassis is made of aluminum. Now M1A1 on the other hand...IS a tank!

[@maddrummer910]

@@TheKiltedKraut I’m pretty sure they know it’s not an actual tank bud

[@awsomedude9111]

6:32 LOL Surprised how fast you got it running

[@HHWheels]

It’s a tank!

[@TomZelickman]

So excited to see you guys get things running!

[@MoparTrailsDieselTales]

ISO lovely assistant 😂

[@angrypatriot5392]

That's awesome! Congratulations guys. Don't be surprised if you get a letter from the government wanting that bad bay back. Lmao 🤣

[@HHWheels]

Hahahah we hope not!

[@jasonconley771]

Having several years experience with these trucks, I can say I love them but I have seen old Dozers run quieter and smoother!😂😂😂

[@HHWheels]

This thing is definitely a tank! But so much fun to mess with people in!

[@Spinner0295]

The 50 mph pony tail!

[@scottiencali]

Fun stuff.. get a windshield please!! Happy weekend!!

[@HHWheels]

Windshield is in! It just didn’t make it in the vid! Thx for watching!🤙

[@jacksarebetter]

Those injection pumps need lubrication. The fuel that was available when they were designed had higher amounts of sulfur in it which helped lubricate the pump and injectors. Today's fuel us less than 15 PPM sulfur. So get you some diesel supplement like Power Service or Howes that adds lubrication. Your fuel system will last much longer

[@HHWheels]

Thank you for the tip!

[@noneya972]

How much did you spend on parts overall?

[@brianward6291]

HEY! So whatever happened to this thing? Looked for more videos on it and didn't see much - still have it? Where can I follow the build further?

[@HHWheels]

Hey Brian, we do not own this rig. Our buddy Casey owns it and is enjoying driving it at this time. Not sure what other plans he has for it at this time. Thx for watching ✌️

[@VWJawbreaker]

Heck yeah!

[@HHWheels]

Having fun!!! 👍

[@rabidturnip78]

Worked on these monsters in the army, good times.

[@TheKiltedKraut]

At the 2:30 mark...that little yellow light above the starter switch is there for a reason!! It lights up and has the word WAIT on it because you're supposed to "wait" until it goes off before you try starting it!! This is because the glow plugs (it's a diesel engine thing) are heating up and you need to wait until they're done before attempting to start the engine! Life is hard. It's harder if you're stupid and don't follow instructions!

[@HHWheels]

👍

[@roadtrekralph311]

Would you mind sharing how much you have in this? I am interested in buying one; not sure if it would be cheaper to go the auction route or buy one from a private seller who already did the title work?

[@HHWheels]

This one was very low mileage and the popular motor so my buddy paid up for it. I believe 16k in the online auction. But then another 4k in parts. So all In running down the road 20k. But, it’s nice and extremely low mileage. You can buy them cheaper but, you may spend more in parts to get them running and driving so, my suggestion would be to spend more at auction if you can. Thx for watching!

[@johnbaptist550]

Is that gas or diesel?

[@HHWheels]

Diesel 🤘

[@jimbella9353]

Inquiring minds would like to know ...what happened to that 11mm socket???🙄

[@HHWheels]

As far as we know, it’s still gone! 🙃

[@donnierobitson7221]

LMFAO some crayon eater put gasoline in a brand new HMMWV…

[@HHWheels]

Yup!😂

[@JohnRadford-iy7db]

No doors

[@HHWheels]

Nope,, those are kinda hard to come by
