Do the GEP 6.5 NA have mechanical IPs?
Is it the DB2?
Did all HMMWVs come with mechanical IPs?

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
With the aerodynamics of a brick and the weight of a bull elephant and differentials and hubs that create between a 4.92 and a 5.97 final gear ratios, these units will never be efficient.Thanks for responses.
So in summary HMMWVs (military) use mechanical IP (DB2) versus Hummers (civilian) which may use electronic IP (DS4 plus PMD).
This is attractive to me as I would think mechanical more reliable (simple) and easier to maintain or troubleshoot.
Would assume mechanical may suffer at cost of some ‘efficiency’ at cost of fuel mileage/horsepower versus computer controlled.
