COLE!!!! Cole is an outstanding dude and it is awesome that he is a part of this project. He is absolutely essential in the 133rd. I look forward to seeing more!
Hate to be that guy, but I've never heard of a humvee coming with a 6.0 engine. They started off as 6.2 naturally asperated, then upgraded to a 6.5 naturally asperated briefly in 94 and have been a turbo 6.5 since 95 I believe. The 6.5 turbo diesel had a lot more power, but was still fairly slow in armored versions. (I know first hand because my k2500 Suburban has the same motor, and I have lots of experience running armored and unarmored humvees). Look forward to seeing the progress!
I am right there with you. I heard him say it was a 6.0 and I was like, NOPE! I need to check comments to see if anyone else caught that lol. I have a 6.2 in my M1009 and was in the Army from 99-03. All I ever saw in them was the 6.5 Turbo that was pretty fun to romp around in lol. Good catch.
Beat me to it. The alpha version used the 6.5 duramax. I know at one point they were talking about adding a gas option, cant remember if it was supposed to be a 350 or 454 but im not sure if any were made. She could probably do a tuned duramax swap fairly easy i would think.
6.5 NA was available for quite a few years, that's what my 99 M1097A2 has in it. I was in the Marines 2002 - 2010, I didn't see a turbo model until 2008.
SO the guy that works on HMMWV while in reserve doesn't even know there was never a 6.0????? That is pretty scary. And that they went for a drive with that very compromised front tire. Asking for a major crash as it blows out. I know this is for entertainment purposes, but get the facts straight. That exhaust is getting ready to fall off as well with more than 1/2 the pipe rusted thru...And that is the tip of the ice berg of problems on that thing
Just a couple minor corrections/addendums... That is a flex plate inspection cover that someone cut a chunk out of not a bell housing. Also that is a 6.2 liter normally aspirated diesel engine not a 6.0. It should also have a TH400 3 speed transmission. The later versions have a 6.5 L turbo charged diesel and a 4L80E 4 speed overdrive transmission. The larger engine with boost and the 4th gear really make the vehicle more livable at highway speeds. Also the no key deal is so that you don't have to worry about where they went if someone needs to move or use a vehicle that they don't normally use. There should have originally been a chain and padlock under the drivers seat to chain the steering wheel to help keep causal unauthorized use to a minimum. In the event that they really needed to move them just go down the line with bolt cutters and anyone can jump into any of them. Almost no military vehicles have keys. The old CUCV Chevy trucks where civilian trucks with a few military options. They do have keys but they have the same key for all of them so again anyone can operate the rig without having to dig through a huge key box to sort out which keys go to which rig.
Looking at that front drivers tire, you might also want the alignment done also. One of the things I would get done asap since you are making it a gamer Humvee and not bushwhacking with it, is upgrade that diesel to a more modern diesel with turbo so that you can bring it up to highway speed
July 4, 2021----No key? That's because they get lost and why the steering wheel is chained to the seat. Same way with 2.5 ton, etc. trucks. From what I understand, speed on these things vary depending on the model/year they were made. Looking at this thing, wait till she starts checking out the cost of a used bell housing and not only 4 new tires, but a spare. Along with needing 4 doors.
These are the training ones. I remember we had a few Up-Armored ones and they’re the only ones with actual AC. This guy knows what he’s doing, too. He’s going through the complete PMCS checklist.
Front line military vehicles dont have keys. The last thing you want to have to do when in a hurry, is try to figure out which pocket you put your keys in. We used to weld chains to the floor next to the seat in the deuces and 5 tons. Then you would wrap them through the steering wheel and padlock them to secure the vehicle.
Be sure to have your knuckle gear boxes serviced. You do not want the tire and axle coming off the truck at 55 mph. Don't forget to check the blinker fluid! 1994 Humvee has a Detroit 6,5L diesel engine with a turbo 400 3 speed transmission. The Humvee and a duece and 1/2 or 5 ton truck would be a much better investment than the tank or scout vehicle. I have a Humvee that I put a 3" lift on it, 40" tires, and put a Cummins 6BT engine in it among other upgrades.
I’m sure you’ve already handled it but for future reference check out govt auction sites cuz I regularly see full sets of humvee tires that look brand new being sold.
That was not the bell housing it is called an Inspection Cover. The inspection cover is not required unless you are rock climbing. It will just keep debris from hitting the flexplate.
exactly. you can tell he is limited in his experience of actually working on them. and he said it's a 6.0 and they never came with a 6.0 just a 6.2 or 6.5
National Guard, aka, Weekend Warriors never get enough love. There on the battlefield amd the homefront. Also, their original ancestor group was the Minute Men.
I got plenty of miles on these. Drifted and jumped them in the Mojave desert. 55 is pushing it? pssh... I may or may not have got up to 70+ for a solid hour on tank trails. Good times. I was waiting for the NG guy to look at the camera like "Oh God" when she asked what he thought of the condition.
This gal is pretty much taking my dream of a gaming humvee and bringing life to it, I've seen it on a h2 but not an h1 or a humvee, but she will be the first in the history to do it. Nice work
You might not need a whole bellhousing on that thing. I admit that I am not experienced with humvee's but That looked like an inspection cover for the starter ring/flywheel/torque converter. You may be able to get a replacement cover for pretty cheap. that exhaust has to go though😆
Bad thing about Federal loans, specifically VA loans, buying points gets expensive. Thank him for his service, wish I would have stayed in. I wanted to go to MP unit.
Get rid of that junk fram filter before it destroys the motor and put new exhaust on. The flywheel cover isnt a big deal and i wouldn't even worry about that. Get an alignment before new tires and itll be golden.
Dark sunglasses will help him see all.lol. and how could he tell brakes were good looking at the suspension in the middle? Oh checking diff. Right where he was checking breaks? Maybe I'm wrong but he's not an expert or has enough knowledge just my thaught. Sorry. But I love your vids .you're the best Alex!! Thank you for sharing and keep them going.!!👍👍👍
@@jesseglenturner they are individual gearboxes at each hub that change the gearing down as well so if you changed the big gears it would still be low geared at all 4 corners
@@omc-slugbug5745 Yeah, I get that it's still pretty much going to be a slug, but raising the ring and pinion gear ratio the same on both front and rear HAS to increase the overall speed. Does it not? I'm no HUMVEE mechanic by any means (and don't claim to be), but it's my understanding that introducing a higher gear ratio at the chunk is going to increase top end speed - even if there's another gearbox at the hub. More RPM at the axle = more RPM at the hub = more RPM of the tire. That's how gears work. Correct? How much it would increase depends on how high the gear is raised. I don't know if that would create a longevity issue or not. Wouldn't think it would burn them out at normal highway speeds, but again, I'm no HUMVEE mechanic. I do know an old Motor T Jarhead or two who would definitely know.
@@jesseglenturner yes everything stated above is correct but they are gear reduction and in turn multiplicatively change ratios. My understanding was if the actual differential gears are changed the effect would be astronomically different at the wheels. Looking thru some old manuals and a little poking around online says the diff ratio is 2.73:1 and the gear hubs them selves then add 1.92:1 making 5.24:1 overall ratio. I don't know if I did that math correctly but it's pretty high and my NCO always warned us the bearings in the hub are already very finicky so trying to push any more speed or torque thru that would be a bad day. Just my understanding.
Also living in SC and looking into getting a HMMWV, did you get one that already had a title or did you have to deal with the SF-97 forms and getting the DMV to create a title? Trying to figure out all the quirks to getting one of my own. Love the video

Welcome to the club! Not many of us out there.
4:20 That's just the inspection window, no worries...
...Sorry, I had to. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Congrats! In PA. There is a humvee with a LS6 (454) EFI swap for 28 grand. No lack of power. 😁
"that's not ideal" is my new explainer for anything not perfect
Feel a little bad for the guy who had the Humvee last and realized he left his wrench in there.
He is probably still looking for it haha
@@TheHondakiller420 serves him right for attaching a 10mm to it.
He probably hasn't noticed it was gone yet tbh
Probably yelling at his kids for messing around with his toolbox again.
Hell its his loss and a free tool for Alex!
You need a 5.9 12v with some work done on the pump and AFC along with bigger turbo and injectors.

Replace those old tires with some 38” super swampers. You’ll never get stuck. I would also add a deep water fording kit as well.
Can you Ford in a HMMVV?
Put the 50 cal on top of the humvee
Not unless it's an mg.
Yesssss
Noting to mount it to, there's now weapons ring.
i wanna see a few real bullet holes in it
Similar concept to the humvee/hummer gaming platform made by west coast customs for predator.
Gotta love it when your new vehicle comes with free tools, lol.
Alex is awesome and the ideal lady %100. Love your videos! Can't wait to see what's in store for the Humvee
What I like about these is that there's lots of personal space and the engine drowns out anyone who's talking to me.
the downside is literally everything else
I love Humvees even the hummer EV!
She looks amazing!!🤩😍 the hunvee ofc

2:43 anyone notice the freightliner hauling a big bud tractor in the back ground
They don’t have a key so that anyone can jump in and drive it.

6.2 or 6.5 depending on when it was built and if it has had an engine change done while still in service.
