Not understanding " 97.5 and later have better HVAC, 97-2000 " , .......are you in the Long Island area perhaps you would be willing to work with me on the purchase , i do not know any H1 owners , or at least can you work with me electronically , i can send you information on the one's i am looking at. My price limit will be around 32,000

 

Any military ones, or civi's that guys like to dip into water, the main frames like to rust at the front. No drain holes. I got lucky with mine. But it's time to sell her. listed in classifieds.

 

please give me info on the one your selling

 

I have learned a lot in your forum and thank you for the vast information but I have a question: Does anyone have a 1995 gas engine? That is the H1 I am considering to buy, my thought on that is the fact I can work on a gas engine and do not feel intimidated by a diesel engine but I am unsure if it will be a good idea, I have been considering to buy an h1 since 1996 but always being reluctant by the coments of the dealers and H1 mechanics (only 1 in Kansas City) who mentioned that the yearly maintenance will be 15K a year. I saw reviews for every diesl engine but I can't seem to find about the Gas, also I am planing to travel to South America so I thought gas will be easy to work on it in that part of the world, any advise will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

If you buy a truck with lots of deferred maintenance you can spend some money getting a truck back right. 15K a year is ridiculous. 2-3,000/year under normal use. The gas motors don't get as good mileage as the diesels, have a different power curve so you lose a lot of the low end torque, are a little quieter than the diesels and generally are cheaper since they aren't as sought after. No idea about repair issues but diesels are even more prevalent in other parts of the world than they are here.
