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.

I'll be there Friday evening through Saturday with my M1031. Got the new HMMWV engine in, so it will be a nice road trip. I have a bunch of the electronic components from the original M1031 pto generator setup if anyone is interested.

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...

Yes, NP208 and NP205 are very different. Be glad you have a NP205. If you are missing the original driveshaft, it wouldn't hurt to to change the output shaft out for a fixed yoke setup, much stronger and then you can drive truck without rear driveshaft in. And if you have a M1031, talk to...

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

Looking for a GEP 6.5l engine. Anyone going to show have any?

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-)

Yea, my truck has the toilet seat, haha. And I got a tow truck. And yea, maybe I'll give the wizard a call, thanks.

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 in my M1031 today, stranded on Rt 78 atm. Anyone have a good running Detroit 6.2L?

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.
