Hummer is civilian only. Started off as the AM General Hummer and then sometime after GM bought the rights to the hummer name it became the Hummer H1 in the early 2000s. The basics are the same. the older the Hummer the closer to a Humvee it will be. My 1995 Hummer is similar to an A2 Humvee but...
they didn't need to be replaced. the dealer just wanted easy money to replace them. warranty fraud was common with Hummer dealers kind of like insurance fraud.
AM General took a loss with a lot of H1s. there are a lot of H1s out there that have had more warranty work done than the buying price (from the dealer no less, not how much the dealer paid for the H1). back in 2004 I would go off roading each month with my dad in his 2001 H1. and the ball...
I do not have an M1101/2 but if the hub is similar to a Humvee/H1s then you're going to need to bore out the hole for the hub in the H2 wheels since they are too small.

No I had a problem with the cooling loop inside the case. the transmission was pumping its fluid into the case. fixed that by bypassing the cooling loop. thought I drained enough to make it not overfilled. apparently I was wrong. it was overfilled by like two quarts still somehow.
hahaha,
too bad she prolly wouldn't make it to Azusa. I was driving her for an hour on the freeway. pulled over to use the bathroom when I saw the case was smoking and leaking. drained some fluid and it's burnt with shavings in it.
