Sure! Which Hummer are you talking about -- the civilianized HMMWV (H1) or the GMC Tahoe chassis with a funny body on it (H2)? For that matter, which Dodge?

david ps -- the Army seems pretty happy with their HMMWV, though I can't help thinking there ought to be a use still for a much smaller vehicle like the old Jeep. Those are good-sized trucks, Army versions gross 8,000# and up and the civilian ones 10,300# or 12,100#.
