Through the grapevine, I have heard pros/cons on Stockton wheels for the M37... some have mentioned in the past that the rim material Stockton used might have been thinner/'softer' than the stock Budd wheels & that the Stockton rims seemed to be easily bent? Anyone else heard this? Bueller...

You won't get 16" tires to fit 16.5" rims. And if you plan to get a set of 11.00x16 tires, better get 'em now - supplies will dry up soon. 'Tanner'

The 6.2 & 5-speed swap has been done with good success by a gentleman named Juan and others in the past - I am on-again/off-again on my swap due to work/family obligations. PM me for details, but the basics are that I have a 6.2 with a GM medium-duty (C60) truck bellhousing & a Spicer 3053A...

The newer design 6.5 used in HMMWV and marine applications have a separate lower main 'bedplate' to add strength to the bottom end. This seems to help... another thing that will help it survive is... STOP USING A 6.X engine to pull loads greater than it was designed to pull... 'Tanner'

Pfffttt.... keep a 6.X NA long enough & you'll crack the main web... or the sides of the block. We were junking roughly 85% of the 6.X blocks at (unnamed quality engine remanufacturing company) & ended up using new block castings in the remans... 'Tanner

Nope - GM hasn't produced that body style for years... not a current model. 'Tanner'

Until they can figure out how to kill starters, glow plug controllers, swell the glow plugs, and put a crappy fuseable link in it, it'll never be fit to wear the name CUCV... fat lady sings 'Tanner'

With titles and certification that they will pass DOT standards? Were these from the initial batch that escaped the military before the crackdown by AM General on civilian sales of HMMWV's? 'Tanner'
