[@gregggriffith4795]

Having owned several 6.2/6.5 GM diesel powered trucks, I would say they would regret it. Especially since the flywheel kept breaking. Those engines are externally balanced, and have cast crankshafts. That leads to two or three piece cranks when flywheels or balancers fail. They’re also gutless wonders. 300hp is pushing it when upgrading them. Duramax in a Corvette, on the other hand…😁

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

I love being up on the property and filming, I am definitely working on a better balance with my editing time so I can be up on the property more often.

That bullet case is pretty interesting, actually. TAA 10 indicates it's from the 205th Arsenal, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Meaning that particular truck either went to Taiwan for a period of time, or sme Taiwanese troops came stateside and likely ran some trainings with the US Military.

[@chrismichaelyoung]

I used to work on Humvees back when I was a mechanic in the Air Force, I was at a training base that trained pilots and loadmasters so we had a ton of them sitting around, getting dropped out of planes and all that fun stuff. Flex plates always went bad like that, I think they said it's a manufacturer defect for a specific brand of them. Had to replace them all the time, actually it was the first thing I did when I got there. We had a Humvee catch fire and burn down once and a guy had to rewire the whole thing from the ground up. Our base only used old ones for training, the new ones were all overseas, so we couldn't just get a new one. I've always wondered what those things would be capable of with a few modifications, so I can't wait to see it all put back together

You might also like the build Gale Banks did. He went a more traditional route by sticking a Chevy Duramax Diesel into the engine by but the performance was much improved.

@@witcher71 I consider that my modified humvee is a rock crawler just as some heavily modified jeeps are considered. You are thinking buggies. That was not the flaw I was pointing out in your statement. Extra weight rarely means more traction until you get to bearing pressures large enough to change the physical properties of the contacting materials. Rock crawlers want less weight because the traction is the same it lowers loads on the drive train. It is one of the reasons I put an LQ9 in my humvee instead of a diesel when I motor swapped.

[@witcher71]

@@lorilombard8578 I don't consider a HMMWV anywhere near a rockcrawler that a modified Jeep would be. Way too big. The subject here is a LS swapped and basically stock Humvee.

So it's entirely likely that your newly LS swapped Humvee was used by the USMC and at some point in it's life spent time on Taiwan during a joint USMC/Taiwan armed forces military exercise. Military vehicle wiring is all black because the military does complete replacements. They don't repair a wiring harness in a vehicle, they replace the entire harness, then it's sent to an equipment depot for repair and reissue. I've personally seen this with a vehicle communications harness. We had lost crew communication, and since that's an operation deadline, we drove to the commo section, pulled the old harness out, and hung a completely new communications wiring harness.

24:50 Ethan gets it right the first time, it's laminar flow, then proceeds to say ANYTHING but the correct term for the next ten seconds.

I was a contractor for a bit and worked on Bradley suspension replacing it with newer stuff I found lots of random things in the "bilge" I guess you could say like hats and screwdrivers and a marlin spike looking tool and a lot of 5.56 casings as well as a pretty decent knife that I still use

15K man! It's a long haul, but your work speaks for itself. You're on the right track, and its not fair that they greased the straightaway but keep the faith.

Ethan is my spirit animal. Yeeta.

I love these type of builds, i personally really want to make a trophy truck honda odyssey. The thought of going 100+ over whoops in a minivan just sounds amazing

Love to see the direction the channel is going. Started with long travel Barbie jeeps and the projects keep getting bigger, but just as cool. Keep it coming 🤘

[@gasa1165]

[@djadikt08]

Sheesshhh a long travel kit on that thing gonna be gnarly 🔥🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

The amount of shenanigans in this video. I love it.

Little -red- wrecked corvette has done us proud today. Now, the Humvee has a new heart.

[@Cowboys-bm4wh]

I’m really enjoying the channel guys. I will probably not ever have the chance to do this kind of work. So I really enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing.🙂

[@letsdosomevideo]

Your guys' build quality on everything custom you put your hand to is top notch, bravo

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

Thank you very much!

[@lucasgardner1742]

Y’all should build a halo warthog. Been waiting for one.

[@slimmyjimny6900]

That would be awesome

[@Fretslapper97]

this thing is so magical it developed a new feature every time something broke. first an angry growl, then an ejector seat, and it still kept going

[@BeardsmoreEspadate]

I know, right, bro? Love how Finch brings his game spirit to 4RBT. Makes betting there even more thrilling!

[@MrHeavyzz4]

In a high performance scenario I would think solid motor mounts for instant power transfer to the axels instead of waiting for motor to twist and hit the stops in the motor mounts before power goes were you want it. This would be a blast I can not wait until you get her finished.

Your Grease buildup will be fun because it's usually Grese and Flat Black Spray-paint. Post-Exercise inspection shortcut.

@30:10 TAA10 is a 5.56mm round made by The 205th Arsenal, Kaohsiung, Taiwan (previously referred in US publications as “Taiwan Arsenal”).

[@PewterQ]

On a long enough timeline… y’all know the rest. Another awesome video, thanks guys!
