Duramax Engine Mounted to Humvee Frame!

[@OLDBEAR123456]

Awesome! Heck I am proud to see the engine sitting in its place. 🙂

[@SplitBuilds]

Thanks brother!

[@abc-ed1nr]

@@SplitBuildsnow that it’s in, are you happy with it? Does it vibrate or are any of the drive line angles too pinched?

[@prestoisakilla813]

Great job!!! I really appreciate your positive attitude while working on the Humvee!! Keep it up, buddy!

Thanks

Nice fella, I can't wait to be at this point with mine.

Very exciting, one of the biggest parts done, I like the new music variety you're putting into the videos.

Thanks

Needle bearings in the u joint Nice build man! I own a 6.7 powerstroke very similar engine

Super work man!!!!! Great milestone behind you...

Thanks

[@texassingh1027]

Looks fantastic! Great work! I cannot wait to see the engine run.

[@SplitBuilds]

Me either!!

[@rosettadimaria2001]

Great video. Just started watching your Jeep built.

[@diyjeff1838]

Nice work!!

[@GucioNDYN]

Great job, I'm watching from the beginning! For harness isolation better would be wiring fabric tape, than standard electric isolation tape I suggest :) Better looking, and high temperature resistant.

[@SplitBuilds]

Just got delivered!

Can’t wait to see it running👍

Epic stuff!

[@fiero11]

I'll be interested in seeing the transmission shifter set up and connecting the rear and front drive shafts. I didn't have too much trouble with the drive shafts on my Cummins conversion, but I did have to change transfer case yoke and have a new cap welded on the rear drive shaft to fit the U joint and have it shortened 1 1/2" and rebalanced. The front was easier, relocating the pillow block and using the Humvee shaft but changing the transfer case end to a flange to mate up to the 241DHD case. I'm still working on a set up to use the Humvee shifter but make it work with the 47RE transmission. I might have to use a cable set up instead of the rods. I am wanting to use an Allison 1000 6spd with a Cummins on my next conversion.

[@SplitBuilds]

Man that Allison with the Cummins is ultimate!! Yeah this shifter setup is going to be difficult I think, I’m not sure yet about any of that.

[@fiero11]

I love watching your videos. The Duramax/ Allison conversion is a very popular set up these days. If it weren't for the electronics and cost, I would try one. I'm interested in seeing how you get the fuel tank in. The Allison is so big, most put a fuel cell or the auxiliary fuel tank kit in the rear of the truck behind the rear differential.

WOW! What a rats next of electronics wiring!!! How did you manage all of that? Detailed notes? Looking awesome!

Lots of pics and a somewhat decent memory!😆however manly pics

[@TinS0lder]

Its the weekend! Where is our video!

[@SplitBuilds]

😆, trying… I worked overtime the last 4 days at regular work… literally 4 doubles… I actually have it made just no extro clip for the end…

[@wolfpacktrolling]

Nice 💪💪👍

[@teddyomes]

You're doing a great job. But I have a question, can you weld? I'm asking because if the the cross member only has one mount for the transmission, what stops you from cutting off the original mount and fabbing out a new mount and welding it to the original cross member.

[@SplitBuilds]

You could absolutely do that, it’s just a lot of extra time which is what I’m the shortest of always.

[@grantshepherd94]

Those be called needle bearings sir

This is their eBay store. They have a phone number in the description

[@dalechristensen3640]

I'm sure you did this already, but why don't you go out to your side yard and get the slip yoke off of the the drive shaft you tossed on your donor truck. That should slide into your transfer case.

[@SplitBuilds]

I sold the duramax drive shaft months and months ago separately, it wasn’t on the donor truck

[@terrafusiontx]

Great freaking job! QQ, what was the first paint color you were using? The grey one?

[@SplitBuilds]

I’m not sure I know which one your talking about. The other humvee color I did or a spray paint from something?

[@terrafusiontx]

@@SplitBuilds on this build. You mentioned several videos ago that you're loving the color of the silver you were using.

[@terrafusiontx]

@@SplitBuilds the silver you were using for the engine components. also, is it a high temperature paint?

[@Hewardrv8]

Get yourself some liquid electrical tape! You can seal all exposed wires harnesses etc. I use that on my humvee harnesses!

[@joshwest1008]

What is your connection to the Vols?

[@SplitBuilds]

I’m from Tennessee and went to ut for a semester or 2

[@timwyman8161]

I have a question when you installed the Dura Max motor in the Humvee what fan did you use to fit the Humvee fan shroud ? Thanks

[@gjermundification]

2:14 Did you compile a list in order to replace all the nuts and bolts for the frame?

[@SplitBuilds]

Just pull the old bolts and nuts and buy the same ones new grade 8

[@gjermundification]

@@SplitBuilds I'm not sure the old bolts are always the optimum ones.

[@deanscherer687]

Bolts are to short should have one to four threads showing
