... good information, EXCEPT for the miracle 6.2 '100 Horsepower increase with Marine injectors and injection pump'... I'm still waiting for the dyno proof on this setup... well??

I wish these freakin' myths would die - if adding HP this way worked...
Hummer Inc. (division of Old General Motors) sale to Chinese buyers fell through; then GM mothballed the company. Zero connection to AM General HMMWV production, other than the H1 sold through Hummer dealers were built on same line as the M998, then trimmed/completed in second facility. Last...
...xactly! And yet, it hasn't stopped some from mounting them on late-model rims. I question the safety behind it - regardless of the 'fact' that 'it fits'...

Cabell Garbee and I have been discussing this idea for a couple years now... but this would require an annular ring to be machined to make up the difference in the gap between the M37 wheel center OD & the ID of the Deuce/HEMTT rim - my thoughts on this are that you've now got a much heavier...
And in reply to your query posted on G741, you CAN use Gama Goat 11-18" NDT rim/tire assys in conjunction with an adaptor plate, BUT the supplies of those tires are drying up (tires for the GG haven't been made in probably 25 years or more), and the option of changing to a modern high profile...
I posted a reply to this earlier, but it obviously didn't take... the MB 2.2 4-cylinder diesel in the early 190D was from the OM601-series of motors. Cast iron block & aluminum head. They had issues with blowing headgaskets & warping heads if run hot - I recall seeing quite a few of them at our...
Firstly, I don't call anyone a moron - these people do as they are instructed. And many rules/laws are written because - well, facve it - people are pretty effin' stupid animals.... witness the reason that Preparation H has a note on back stating: 'This product is not to be taken orally'...
These folks have a OM61X to Jeep AX15 or NV3550 or NSG370 trans adapter kit - MB202
I believe that they were discussing using the NV4500 for a kit at some point -
The problem you hit with the OM616/617 MB diesels is with the front-mounted sump... it wants to share the same space with the front axle & diff - the aluminum upper oil pan is a structural piece & will cause you grief on the swap. The stamped steel lower pan can be mod'd, but the upper 'pan' is...
Stock numbers on a civvy 1990 J-code 6.2 that I pulled from a running, driving truck were ~ 145HP & ~260 lb-ft TQ -
M37 's will break axles with any engine, even a stock 230... I know a guy with a BB Chevy in one & he's never broken an axle. And I know of a '37 with a 4BT that has broken an...
I looked into the 617 ~ 4 years ago, but it didn't have the power I was looking for in an M37 install. I know it's a high-speed diesel (I've had 3 MB OM617 equipped cars) -
I've already got all the 6.X/Spicer 3053A/bellhousing/etc., bits - but have access to the diesel stuff as well. I looked...
And... misinformation continues being spread.
Nader DIDN'T get the Corvair killed; never did, never could. GM had already decided in 1966 to start winding down the Corvair, due to the rise in popularity of the Ford Mustang & the impending arrival in 1967 of Chevrolet's own Camaro.
Nader did...
