Ya i know that pulling they are dogs. The n/a humvee's are THE slowest piece of machinery you will EVER find on a road. A 40k lb hemtt would waste a humvee . The turbo humvees are a LITTLE faster, as long as there are no up armor on them...

 

I test drove it today, and it drove like a freaking tank!! I loved it!

It was a little on the rusty side, there was a small hole in the driver's side flooring, and that's where most of the rust seemed to be, but it was still solid. I mean, I'm not expecting it to sparkle or anything...

I ran out of time today, so I'll run it by a shop tomorrow. The only place I could find locally was a chevy dealership, with a truck division.

I found out the truck does indeed have those low miles, he has papers on it, plus the odometer has a spot for the 1xx,xxx digit. It was originally sand color, the current owner had it painted black, and it's got a yellow caution light on it. I wonder what it was used for... Maybe it was a MP truck, but I thought they used blue lights, just like the civilian police force.

One concern of mine is that none of the lights work. Brake, headlights, blinkers, not a one of them, so hopefully that isn't completely fried. Maybe I can use this to get the price down a little.

The price and mileage are going to be hard to beat. I think I'll pick it up, and if I need a towing rig later, I'll just have to buy another truck!

Well as long as the shop just doesn't destroy the truck, I'll pick it up.

 

Hope you enjoy the truck.

 

the lighits mighit be as simple as fuses the last 2 trucks i bought 1 had a blown fues for wipers 1 for head lighits not saying thats what it is just throwing it out there

 

Thanks, I hope the shop doesn't slam it to hard. I think I found a darn good deal here!

Yeah, hopefully that's it, but I'm no electrician or mechanic, so hopefully they are nice to me when they figure it out.

 

Send a pic?

 

Does the truck have a selector block that looks like this?


If so, the selector switch has to be in a certain area for lights and blinkers and brake lights etc to engage.

That's all I got, and they are from the ad.

I didn't see anything like that in the truck. Where would that be mounted??

It did have a few switches labeled light something or other, and I toggled them all, but nothing happened. I figured one was for the headlights, one for the yellow light on top, and I think there was a third one. Maybe it's a combo deal, like I have to have this one flipped this way, and this one flipped another for something to happen. Or maybe I just missed that selector switch, I'll have it figured out tomorrow.

 

That selector switch would be somewhere around where your left arm would be when fully extended straight out and minus a foot or so

 

I bought it. This truck is sweet!!! I think its a great way to get my feet wet in the diesel world.

It was cheap, low miles, should be cheap to fix, and maintain. It's a little slow, but I have to much of a heavy foot as it is. Slow=safe. Plus the brakes are phenomenal.

If I hadn't bought it, there was another guy literally right behind me that was very interested in it too. He was interested in the 24v system to run equipment off of.

I figured out the lights. It was one of the switches had to be pulled out and pushed up, when the lower setting was just push down.

The mechanic I brought it to was just concerned about the tranny. He said that it shifts hard into 2nd, and he couldn't get it to go into 3rd a couple of times when it should.

I think he was full of ****. Yeah it does shift a little hard, but it wasn't made with comfort in mind. And the third gear issue, well the thing only has 3 gears, so it should save that last shift till faster mph. Does my reasoning sound wrong?

So far I love the damn thing! I am just looking for excuses to drive it. Plus it has that removable top, I can do so much with it.
