What engine is in the H1? Says only 190 HP and 430 ft. lbs. Is that the old GM Diesel? For $115,000? No thanks.

 

yep 6.5 turbo .............

 

LMAO All of 8 psi.

 

There's always the H2, or should I say Suburban, with a different look. Well worth the "bling bling"...Not.

 

I know I've seen Hummers (the original, not that H2 POS) with Cummins badges on the side of them.<br><br>Don't know if they were professional conversions, or personal, but with as many as I've seen I'd lean towards professional.<br><br>I wouldn't mind having one with a Cummins in it.<br><br>phox

 

The military version isn't even turbo'ed.

 

I couldn't agree more, Phox. Then you'd have a reliable vehicle, quite possibly worth the extra coin. And a heck of a lot of fun to 4-wheel in.

 

Could also be an NA 6.2......<br><br>For what a H1 costs, a person can build a Cummins Ram that will go just as many places, and haul twice as much stuff.

The GM 6.5 turbo isn't much of a diesel engine, I admit. But I seen a few of them, fitted with marine pistons, cams, bigger injectors, etc., which run very, very well once they can get started.

 

Ya the key word there was &quot;Get Started&quot;

 

For a fraction of the cost, you can get a more reliable diesel truck with far more capabililty. In a word...Unimog. Its what you drag your Hummer out of the mud with. ;D

GM 6.2 isn't that built on a gasser v8 block with different heads?
