That’s what I’m afraid of lol

Gotcha. On the later, M38’s where is the lever? Next to the gas pedal?

Here’s a photo of one of the starters I found online. The lever under the dash engages the lever towards the right of the starter. The button on the floor by the clutch gets it spinning, but the lever engages it to the flywheel.

Copy that. I’m guessing, if there was something seriously mechanically wrong with the truck, they would not go through that trouble of draining all the fluids?

I’ll have to grab some pictures. It does not look Jerry rigged at all.

this one actually has a lever on the passenger side of the dash to engage the Bendix. In addition to the floor mounted starter.

I have a very early 1950 M38 that hasn’t tun since at least the 90’s, engine does turn over. What is the start-up sequence? Looks like the bendix for the starter has a manual release, never seen anything like that.

Looking to get an M52A2. I see some at the auction sites that have had all the fluids drained. Is that indicative of a higher problem or is that the equivalent of being pickled? Localish dealer has a few in a similar situation that have been surplussed out but not brought back to life yet. Do...

Ouch :( Just trying to get an idea by photos what may be missing since it’s such a gamble.

Thanks for the info guys. I’m very mechanically inclined so a non runner does not scare me.

Noticed a few common things on GP when looking at humvees. Why are a lot of the instrument clusters pulled? Not pulled like removed but just enough to access whatever is behind them. On a lot of them the rear seats are gone and if they were a pickup model the cargo floor covers are gone. What...

One popped up locally for about the same price. Running, driving, street legal title with full top and doors.

just got off the phone with GP. Refund pending. At 65 business days it’s considered an EUC default apparently.

Still waiting on mine. They can’t seem to give me an update. At this point I’m over it. Have any of you guys gone thru the refund process? I’m at over 65 business days.

Bought mine beginning of November, still waiting. Am told mid February is the magic 65 day mark. Without asking about it they mentioned I could ask for a refund at that time. Is this pretty common that EUC’s don’t come and they issue refunds?

Just called Gov Planet and paid extra for the regular title. DMV where I live said they don't forsee any issues with it as long as I have a title and get the VIN inspected.

Cooy that. I see LS conversion mounts listed for the hummer H1. Would they work for theHMMWV?

OK, so bellhousing is the same? Also, I see conversion mounts listed online for the civilian H1,would these also work for the military version? Really hoping my unit runs with fresh batteries and I can keep it original but we’ll see.

Just bought a Humvee thru GP. Was sold untested and it could be anything from a dead motor to a broken wire or dead battery. I’m just pondering the worst case scenario of a dead motor. What else have folks swapped in? Since the trans is a 4L80E is an LS swap doable on these?

That was my thought as well. Unfortunately the only option they offered was the SF97.
