- I can't stop myself, is there a support group for GovPlanet addicts?
In this video I go pickup a 2006 American General HMMWV that I bought almost 2 months prior. The paperwork on these things can take A LONG time to process.
After retrieving the HMMWV we drive it around and assess how good of a purchase I have made. Then we try to diagnose an overcharging situation that started the batteries on fire!
Help me decide what to do with this cheap military grade off road unit next! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Enjoy the trouble shooting side. It’s awsome to have you guys thinking out loud as I’m trying to figure it out also. 💪
Talk to the car wizard, he worked on those when he was in the service.
He's ok but not THAT knowledgeable actually
Solid purchase!! I enjoyed my hummers while in the military, they were absolutely a beast of a vehicle.
Get the GCI brand "CARC substitute" tan. Its the proper color to match.
Cool buy. Can't wait to see how it goes. You got it right the square box is the regulator. You have a 200 amp neihoff generator. If i saw correctly, fix the plug connections on the rear of box and i didn't see the big grounding strap either. Should be on attached to the side of the generator to the motor, it's like an inch wide. Looking forward to seeing more hmmwv.
Hello for Emporia Kansas, I would like to see more on this hum v.
those are tough trucks, i like them a lot. I hope to own one, one day
Imagine that... An Ex-military vehicle without regulation... Such a cool vehicle!
They are a competent off road machine with very little investment. We love to run ours off road here in Alaska. My 1988 is the three speed and 6.2. Does okay for what we use it for. Mountain passes are tough on the highway. Mac Motors and Mid West Military Equipment can fix you up.
Surprising to hear about the turbo truck. They seem a dime a dozen right now
And that 12 volt box is for running your transmission computer
I'm a lttle late to the party but since you are part of the Hoovie, JR crowd then a good expert is the Car Wizard - he worked on Hummer's and Tanks in the Army!
He came to mind, I thought about reaching out for the charging issue. But I know he's busier than I am. We would have taken the yellow brick road to see the wizard, if we didn't have Cameron's father-in-law as a resource.
There used to be a voltage regulator under the dash (drivers side) that you could adjust with a screwdriver; this was back in the 90s so I'm not sure it's the same.
I'll check!
@@TheFracturedRooster Duel Tesla large motor + 100kw battery conversion ?
The body is grounded so can't touch any power wires on that metal box. Ask me how I know. My ratchet has a few burn spots
Too bad YT recommends channels a little too late. Check your grounds especially on the generator. Check the regulator as well, it controls the 24 volt side as well.
Swap to a 24v alternator and run an orion 24v/12v converter. The regulators aren't cheap, for the 12v side, if you're putting out over 28v, the gens likely bad and 26v is too low for charging. The older 60a gens didn't have a regulator because they put out the 28v, not the regulator, mainly for the 4spd tcm.
You can also get turbo's all day long, bought mine from Albany. I'm about to buy another, some yards are more national guard which are older na units.
Correction my truck is a 5.9 😊
Nice squarebody - also, somewhere in this world are a LOT of HMMWV doors lol. Mine also is missing two! So random, I don’t know why they took so many off
So a lot of those doors get repurposed or sent to units with 998s on their MTOEs. I'm a full time technician that works on these we always have doors and other stuff laying around that came off ones that ended up going to auctions.
When you disconnect the regulator now it’s only running off the battery and it will slowly drain them if the voltage gauge was in the green that means the regulator was working if it’s in the middle it’s drawing the battery
Just watch out govt planet aka govt liquidations the old name a buddy bought as well and in the photo was a complete unit had it shipped and got it and it was in pieces parts removed so he tried sorting it out with them found out that time they were stalling he used a debit card that visa with his bank only allows 30 days insurance a credit card 90 days expensive lesson learned. He is banned from these people for life over he did a complaint to visa.
The air filter lid disappeared from mine on their lot.
you know the answer, read the TM!
Did you get it titled and tagged for on road use here in Kansas?
I see Geoshield boxes in the background. You tint windows too?
⚡️🛠️
I know you are a busy man but I love your content. I am still wondering why you made this purchase. Are you? LOL
100% still trying to figure it out.
Call it a bucket list item???
If your engine in the Humvee is a 6.5 Optimizer, it might be worth a little money. Chances aren’t great tho
I believe it is an Optimizer. Unfortunately, its still a boat anchor.
Looks like you picked it up in KS. I just went through the same with mine. If you want to chat about it, feel free.
Let me know if your local tag office accepts the SF97. Mine said it won't work to title it. I called GovPlanet and they charged me $200 to run the SF97 through Montana. I hope to get a Montana title soon.
@@TheFracturedRooster I ran into the same problem. I guess KS did accept the SF97 until July of this year (while I was waiting to get the paperwork). Now they only accept full titles. It took longer to receive that than the SF97. My next step is to get it VIN Inspected, I'm just trying to fit it into my work schedule.
So if I were to buy a humvee with a title, will Kansas accept it as on road use?
@@desireedorman9970 Unless the title you get is "off road" branded, they should. Titles from gov planet are not branded.
Thank you for a fast reply. I just didn't want to surprise my husband with a $15,000 toy that he can't register for street use lol. I knew that for a long time these couldn't be in road, but as long as the one I buy him comes with a normal state title he should be good. Only as long as these waterheads in the Hutchinson tag office recognize these as on road too lol.
Are there more videos about your Humvee??
Coming
Hello, how much did you pay for all the procedures?
Are those tires directional and on the wrong way? It just seems to me that he “V” pattern is upside down.
Checking.
Hummer is my dream to buy one
How much did you pay for the Humvee
#MyDadIsTooCool
Bad decisions can be the 😂😢
Must be military water.
This looks like a job for the "Car Wizard" 🧙♂️
That guy is just a rip off merchant!!!
The car youtuber life👍. More cars than senses! 😅
Yeah, hobbies are terrible! He should be putting his money in 5% CDs and eating rice and beans every night for gods sake!
Im the local president of the more money than brains club.
How much did you purchase it for?
$5600
If you want to build suspense you shouldn't put what you bought in the title. Looks like fun though.
Nice…Illinois won’t allow an individual to register and they can only be on the roads with military personnel.
Ridiculous.
Did he ever say how much he paid for it?
$5600
Bad decisions can be the best!
5:39 you need to understand the gauges in the MV hobby are almost always wrong. Many many MANY humvees volt meter are as much as 3-4 volts wrongs
Rebuild it
Great ranch truck. Convert to bio diesel with that mileage.
No point in building suspense during the video when you spoil it in the title.
You got me there.
@@TheFracturedRooster all good - will be watching the series with great interest!
