nah sry man the engine had some crazy lock on them that they didn't even give to my pops to transport them. i guess to keep people from ------- it up or stealing ---- from under the hood when its over there. they are turbo diesel right?

Want engine shots? Humvees are cool until you are in the military and have to drive and look at em all day. Those do look nice and new.

Odd note, at drill today noticed that our wrecker has the same turbo as my car. :) Holset H1C

depends..... most are 6.2 and later 6.5L NA but the most recent uparmored ones being sent to Iraq are 6.5L turbo diesels. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I could buy a de-mil'd Humvee from where I work if I wanted to. Dod ships in some of the slightly older ones and we either strip em down or repair the equipment in them. If they're not worth fixing, we have a chance to buy 'em. Last I heard about $13,000 could get ya one in really good shape, only downside is the DOT will not let them be driven on the roads. :P
