Using a REV B parts truck for an ECV

[GMVguy]

Hey all, good day. I purchased a REV B M1165A1 parts truck (mainly for rear wall, roof, etc) for my ECV M1165A1 (with SN 244k). I have read all the posts about the differences between the trucks (pre versus post 300k SNs etc) and realize none of the mechanical/structural enhancements can me moved to the ECV, but my question is:

What functional parts/components CAN and SHOULD be moved from the REVB truck, and installed on the ECV, in your humble opinion?

Body panels are the same, but things like the cooling stack, fan drive, transfer case, differentials are different and can’t be transferred over. Well, I guess they could but it wouldn’t be worth it - if your ecv trucks runs and drives you shouldn’t need much. You’d probably be better off taking the few parts off you need and reselling the revb truck.

What is a REV B truck? REV stands for "Reliability Enhanced Vehicle" its not a "revision".

Anything can be swapped from one generation humvee to another, if you replace enough parts. But personally I don't think are big advantages moving from an ECV to a REV. I agree with the previous poster, if it aint broke dont fix it.

Agreed, that's the plan. Only looking to take what's needed and most important, keeping the REV as a standby (or sell it). Thanks

Shoot man, you should be fixing up the later truck and parting out the older turbo.

Problem is his ecv is a GMV, should spend the money to restore it.
