Expertise
I can answer questions pertaining to military HMMWVs. I can also answer questions on other military trucks to include M35A2, M800 5tons,M900 5tons, M916 CUCV, HEMMT, M113A2, M113A3 and miscellanous ground support equipment. I cannot answer questions about civilian Hummers; they are very different from their military counterparts.
