Any of the M998 family HMMWVs are pre-ECV models... visually, the headlights are attached directly to the hood and will rotate with the hood when it opens (whereas the ECV models have a grille which sticks out past the hood and to which the headlights are mounted). Internally, there are a lot of differences, particularly in the drivetrain... the M998 family uses the naturally aspirated, indirect injection Detroit Diesel 6.2 liter V8 also used in the M1008/M1009 family CUCV (Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle) as well as commercial 3/4 and 1 ton GM pickups from the mid-80s to early 90s. The ECV uses a 6.5 liter turbocharged Detroit Diesel V8 engine and a heavier duty four speed overdrive transmission (vs. the THM450 used by the M998 and M1008).
