The HMMWV 6.5L is a direct replacement for the old 6.2L so it fits in just like a 6.2L will and direct bolt in.

Just an update on my post rally mishap: Old 6.2L engine crankshaft broke in two. Engine block cracked in several locations. Bit the bullet and got a newer 6.5L out of a HMMWV. Runs great, plenty more power. Time for a cross country trip!

A week prior to going to this rally, I installed a dash camera in my truck. And it just so happened that the engine blew up the first time the camera gets used on the way home from the rally. So it's safe to say that the camera has already paid for itself. Can't wait to get truck back on road...

Yea, I will be at Sussex in search of an engine.

Don't go near that limiter and don't overheat, you'll surely warp your heads. And hey, when life hands you lemons, you get a turbo and make some awesome lemonade!

I had fun regardless of destroying my truck. I had to go back to camp around 15:30 because my trans wasn't shifting properly. Turns out it just has a leaky line and was low. But my lightbar was falling off my roof (I welded brackets to the cab roof and I guess the trails just did it in, starting...

Speaking with colors means difficulty of trails. Trails run easy to hard, green-blue-black-red. I think communication is key to events like this. It's just silly for everyone not to have communications in their trucks. Even the cheapo handheld cb's would suffice.

I don't know, I'm thinking 12v Cummins now... 8-)

Thanks guys. Sh*t happens, especially when you have a toilet on the front of your truck. :DNeed to get replacement engine soon to get back to KY. But it's all ok, I had a blast this weekend. Would do it all again in a heartbeat. And with my car accident the other day, that makes two vehicles...

Blew up engine on way home. Got you all beat. On another note, anyone have a spare Detroit 6.2L engine laying around?

I'll feel better when we're out on the trails on Saturday!

Well I surely don't wanna be a "can't-make-it" person. I've got myself put back together and I'll limp my way there!

I got in a bad car accident, almost died and totalled the vehicle. So I don't know, we'll see.

Alladin wouldn't give up his carpet, so I found some rubber instead.

Anyone have a magic carpet I can borrow?

You can sign up for your membership when you go get your vehicle pass, it's no biggy.

A military vehicle wedding at an offroad park? What a fantastic idea! Is it gonna be catered or are we doing a potluck for the reception?

Hey, that's their own loss. More hot water for me! :-P

Ladies? Pretty sure the only ladies are the ones that left Rauch Creek early last spring. It was cold and rainy Sunday morning, but of the four people who slept there that night, two actually were ladies. They were troopers and put all us men to shame. And yes PaFarmer, I have 5 out of 6 cab...
