Hi all
Thinking of dipping my toe into H1 ownership. I have found an acceptable deal for a 93 with low miles, rust free with recent paint and the following work done: New brakes front and rear, New axles front and rear, New geared hub seals and bearings and shocks have also been replaced. I know its going to be very thirsty but thats not an issue as I will at max put around 5000 miles on per year. My question is, have all the potential problems been addressed or are there any other specific areas of the vehicle I should look at?

 

Any work that may need to be done on these beasts can become problematic and very expensive. Be sure to have it inspected by a qualified hummer technician or at the very least any diesel mechanic.

 

There is a very long list of things that you should have a qualified hummer mechanic look at. Where is the truck located? Whats the price? The bigest thing i would be conserned about is how bad the wiring harness was hacked apart to install the 502 engine. Also if the truck has a aftermarket electronics i would look how they are wired up. A 1993 should have come with a 6.5na diesel engine not a gasser. Thats a big red flag!

 

Thanks, engine was professionally installed along with the wiring. Truck looks immaculate, was a Florida truck and I got the price down to mid 30s

 

heres a clip of it running

 

 

Do you have any pictures of under the hood and under the vehicle?

 

under hood,

 

Those are really poor quality pics. You cant see much. Looks like the fan shroud has a chunk missing. And there is no foam sealing the cooling stack- does it run hot / overheat?

 

It's amazing when you watch people try to sell something for 5 figures and can't take decent pictures of the car/truck.
