Default What engine

Did the military hummers ever have a duramax in them or was it the 6.5/6.2 all the way?

AFAIK, the military never used the 350 gas H1, that was strictly a civvy model.

Later,

Like I have said a Million times , the Military has done more than we will ever all know, and to ever say "they did not do that" is almost always wrong, There are so many one time tested trucks and motor set ups, It boggles the mind, I always say to the best of my knowledge or this is my opinion to date...Good info I did not know this , and really never thought about it, but to a collector that is pure gold !!!!

Not as a production line build. I am 95% sure there are some out there from taking to folks who do conversions. It is easier to do it in a HMMWV than it is a civvie Hummer.
