Agreed, the issue is not the current Diff's. There are only two reason I would consider going to the Ford 9" differential. 1) Its easier to get replacement parts and repairs. 2) If I am going to do a tandem rear axle I need a passthrough Diff to drive both axles. I can't get a passthrough AMC 20.

Well what I have discovered so far is that the guys building the 6x6 Humvees are using the Ford 9" differentials. It kind of makes sense, lots of aftermarket suppliers and super strong. It would also be easier to replacement parts or get modifications done. The "fun" part will be trying to...

I've seen the builds on YouTube and we have lots of resources to assist us in Calgary. But the one thing I can't find is what passthrough differential they are modifying or using. Is anyone aware of someone just replacing all the diff's with something that is more readily available? They seem...

I'd love to match or surpass the tow capacity of my buddies F550, hence the thought to add the additional axle. This machine isn't going to see much off road use as that just isn't my thing. Hauling the dirt bikes and trailers into the mountains and picking up equipment with my trailer will be...

Starting to think about building a new toy. Have spent the last bunch of years building stuff for my boys and everyone else and finally figured its time to build something for myself. Starting with an M1152 or M1123, but have a few questions. I'm a realist and getting older so 90% of the time...

Wondering if someone can point me to a thread on good part sources for our Humvee's or at a minimum help me find sources for the two below parts so I can get my project started. We are located in Calgary, Alberta so its not as simple to run to some of the stores you have in the US - Tire Air...

Looking to put an engine and transmission in my M1152. Not new to diesels but definitely new to Duramax. Look for recommendation for Duramax engine and transmission combo so that I can improve general driving and towing my camping trailer. I'll do some outboard brake upgrades and some other...

Working on getting the humvee first and then will sort out the engine, transmission and transfer case combo. I'm a realist and realize my humvee will spend 90% of its travel on asphalt so it needs to be setup to go down the HWY.

But if I am replacing the motor, transmission and transfer case will the early M998 A0 still be good enough. 1/2 shafts can easily be upgraded., or at least I assume I can upgrade them later?

Looking at doing a custom build with a Duramax engine and Allison transmission. As such we are looking at purchasing a HUMVEE frame. Right now we have a good rolling M998 available that doesn’t have an engine or transmission. But I keep reading that I shouldn’t waste my money on a M998 and...
