Why I love my HUMVEE so much! For a vehicle that is not practical, it is one of my favorites and here is why you should buy one.

I had a truck with the 6.2L diesel and i loved it, 400,000 miles before the truck was retired. Or in short when i flipped 4 times down the highway... Even than the big thing i remember after the rollover is the engine still running....

I ❤ humvee the simplicity of it and if I want to make it have more luxury's you can!. You can have a 4 door short box truck, wagon, slant back, 2 door long box truck. You can get the ones that have ambulance body and make it into overlanding rig. The option's are endless!.

You have a very nice looking Humvee. Have you considered upgrading to something like a Duramax 6.6 liter diesel. They're quieter, more powerful, and with a modern Allison transmission you'll have no problem surpassing 60 MPH and cruising at highway speeds. The new Duramax engines are very reliable and a straightforward replacement for your 6.5 liter.

It is a 3 speed so 55 is the best speed for it but I have had it going 60. It would not be good on the interstate.

@@JohnEngel I found the floor mates, just the same as the Hummer H1 1998; I got the TRuck yesterday from Plan B Supply, which looks great. It has taken them 16 months (first, it was 13 weeks) Communication issues on plan B supply over the entire time. Missing spare tire at delivery, engine has minimum/or below oil. Dan told me he checked everything. There were times when I was very close to dropping everything from Plan B. Very unprofessional service. They what to be a big player, but their service is based on a Mom and Pap store. Very unhappy with their client service. What was your experience with them?
