You definitely got a steal with that engine. Good find! 👌

[@lorenzomunoz325]

Those dirty max are good engines bro, but if you’re there already might as well get the walls honed and new rings, bearings!! Rebuild

[@SplitBuilds]

Oh yeah! Ordering them now!

[@tonymijares5368]

I got to hand it to you . You never give up

[@SplitBuilds]

I appreciate it!

[@hongmihnhahn7081]

WOW INJECTORS LOOK POPED OUT SO EASILY NICE CONDITION

[@SplitBuilds]

They definitely took some prying!

[@bikerbrego]

Make sure you replace the small fuel hoses. Just to let you know they are pricey

[@chadperez9170]

Love the videos can’t wait to see the final result. Also notice your daughter’s wearing Miami go Canes 🙌🏾

[@SplitBuilds]

Haha definitely not canes fans, Go Vols! However she did buy it because she liked the color… smh. i hope the humvee turns out awesome!! Thanks for watching

[@joepreuitt4658]

Yah, great choice on pulling the engine apart. No point in going through all that work re-vamping the rig and then turn around and drop in a motor that is questionable. Better to do it right and be done with it, rather than dropping that in there and having something go south on yah. That would be a heart break to tear it all down and do it all over again.

[@SplitBuilds]

Absolutely, that’s my thoughts!

[@ericfeuerhelm2459]

You're doing exactly what I want to be doing. I have an 06 lbz. I bought a donor truck for the leather interior and stumbled across your channel in the hopes to see how hard it was to transplant the cab because I too want the sunroof. After I watched your video I noticed you're into humvees. I swear I've been searching gov planet and ill be pulling the trigger soon. I'll be watching your as you post them. Keep killin it. Love the channel.

[@SplitBuilds]

Thanks brother! That’s what it’s all about! It all can be done! Just work

[@jeremiahs4992]

👍

[@OLDBEAR123456]

Looking good!

[@NewDemons666]

I feel the same way about EGR's man. They are a pain in the butt. I'm deleting mine

[@SplitBuilds]

For sure

[@bryanford1139]

I dunno about Duramax's, but if that were a Cummins, NO WAY I'd touch it....million mile motor!!! Pro Tip : If you strip out an allen, just smack a slightly bigger Torx bit in it...that'll git 'er out fer sher!

[@SplitBuilds]

I try not to get that far with beating in a larger torx… I’ve done it plenty of times though. I try to be more careful

[@hummerguy]

Same, I'm sure he's going with a duramax because the cummins is crazily tall

[@JackSmith-hd3kn]

@@hummerguy Either one is a good option, although I believe you have to do a 3" body lift for either engine. Turbo clearance for the duramax, valve cover clearance for the Cummins. Plan B put out a video on theirs. He'll, just for the 6.5 Turbo in mine needed a half in lift to clear everything just right.

[@JackSmith-hd3kn]

@@hummerguy oh yeah, I forgot to say I've been subscribed to your channel for a long time. Nice Work!

[@hummerguy]

@@JackSmith-hd3kn Interesting, one question tho, what made you do a swap to a 6.5 turbo instead of adding a turbo to your current 6.5 or did you have the 6.2? Thanks man

[@ztcssb3831]

Good choice, awesome job you did. Thank you for sharing us the whole detailed processes of swapping duramax into a humvee.

[@SplitBuilds]

absolutely!

[@DLR-gz6tv]

400K Miles?.? Good Choice on the rebuild!!! You Got This!

[@DLR-gz6tv]

One other thought while watching this for the first time... can you reassemble it without all of the emissions? Would the HMMVW still fall under the "Emissions Exempt" profile?

[@JackSmith-hd3kn]

@@DLR-gz6tv I don't know about GA state law but here in NC it would depend on what year the HMMWV is titled as.

[@SplitBuilds]

Humvee's are exempt from emissions, well in GA all diesels are.

[@endlessinspirationlifecoaching]

Take it apart brother, I know you got this! and it will be that much better in the end. 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻

[@SplitBuilds]

Boom

[@joevergnetti767]

WOW! Great choice to rebuild, and awesome to see what 400K with modern emissions does to an engine designed to run for millions of miles. There are early 70’s Merc diesels still running. This is going to look great under the hood!

[@SplitBuilds]

Thanks! hopefully I can get this thing back together lol

[@gjermundification]

22:15 What is that "sawdust" in number 3? All the way down the cylinder, on top of the piston head.

[@SplitBuilds]

Just dirt and junk on the top side of the head and it fell down in there when I pulled the head

[@gjermundification]

@@SplitBuilds Lucky you.

[@texassingh1027]

Nice work … keep it up. I use to your video’s to inspire me. Just got mine after EUC clearance.

[@SplitBuilds]

Boom! Awesome!

[@endlessinspirationlifecoaching]

So awesome🤟🏻

[@JackSmith-hd3kn]

Yeah, I'm with you on the rebuild. With 400 thousand, it wouldn't make sense to put it in a rebuilt HMMWV. And EGR delete. I think you're doing a great job!

[@SplitBuilds]

yeah absolutely!

[@gregorycox3]

Not related to the duramax swap, but I’m having an issue with my 6.5L. The oil pressure dropped on me while driving and and had to stop, get my trailer and haul it back home. The pressure would drop to 30PSI and then back up to around 60 then drop to 30 and continue dropping. I don’t know where to troubleshoot first. Have you had anything like this happen or know where I should start troubleshooting?

[@SplitBuilds]

30 and above if I’m not mistaken is in range. Is the pressure dropping while your pressing the throttle? Mine drops when I come to an idle after the engine is warmed up. However when I get back on the throttle PSI rises to about 60.

[@gregorycox3]

@@SplitBuilds I think I figured out the problem. The fuel pump was bad. But while installing the pump I stripped the threads to the fuel line. What are your thoughts on high pressure fuel hose?

[@gjermundification]

5:03 Like you'd ever know of that piece unless you picked it all apart.

[@gjermundification]

25:34 Craftsman is not USAG or Snap-on ...

[@SplitBuilds]

You want to go buy me one??

[@gjermundification]

@@SplitBuilds ;-) Maybe next time I'm over.
