I have a question for the resident experts here:
After production launch of the turbo Humvees (M1114, etc.) around 1996, did AMG still produce non-turbo versions ? And if so, do you know until when ?
Can this be proven by something like official documentation, or at least reliable sources ...
I have four old, worn shocks from a 1987 M998 that I want to trash.

I thought with the start of M1114 production around 1996, all newer vehicles have been turbos ?
Or did AMG continue to build Humvees with NA engines...

Growing up in Germany in the 80s, I almost daily saw US Forces vehicles on our streets. But the real day when the "green vehicle bug" bit me was at an open day on an USAF base in...
