The next batch of Hummers should have the new Cummins 600 ISB engine in them. 300 horsepower and 600 foot lbs of torque at 1600 rpm, 300,000 miles between rebuilds. These cummins will be available in Dodge pick-ups in late 1004. They are available in Ford F-650 medium duty trucks as an option.
Whoever made the decision to put that crappy GM diesel in them should be drawn and quartered.

I'd rather have them worked to death in Iraq than parked on the tarmac, all neat and pretty, back in North Carolina.
All the same, going with a more robust design makes a lot of sense.

I believe I was saying something along the lines of, "If we want a cheap armored vehicle, we should design and build one, not try to turn the HMMWV into something it is not." This is but one of many reasons.

"Nearly ten percent of the hummers in Iraq are out of action waiting for repairs."1 in 10 vehicles is not too bad....in a war zone.
I guess the kinks still haven't been worked out of echelon maintainence
