Great Deals On Used Humvee Engines ENGINES Engines Planning a repower or need to replace a 6 2 or 6 5L Chevy or GM diesel engine? Ted s Trucks N Stuff may have the engine you need For the past several years they ve been buying military surplus Humvee engines and reselling them for civilian use The military is going through a from-the-ground-up rebuild program on all the Humvees they have in service explains Ted Hils owner of Ted s Trucks N Stuff They completely disassemble and put the Humvees back together with new components We ve been able to buy the used engines direct from the contractor taking them out Hils says the used engines have from 10 000 to 40 000 miles on them All engines are started several times and run up to temperature and multiple compression checks are run to check heads Oil pressure checks are also carried out We even use a mini camera we saw in FARM SHOW Vol 34 No 3 earlier this year to inspect the interior of the engines says Hils If an engine doesn t meet our standards they go in the scrap bin Trucks N Stuff workers paint the engines that pass inspection shrink wrap them and band them to a pallet for shipping Hils points out that the 6 2L engines are shipped without starters and may have slightly different accessories on them than their civilian counterparts He advises retaining components from existing engines for use with the surplus replacements
The 6 5L engines are long blocks û block heads and timing cover only Hils stresses that all parts for civilian 6 5 s both turbo and non-turbo will fit
The engines we sell are normally used in pickups but will work as a power unit or in other unique applications with the addition of a starter alternator and some minor modifications says Hils We make every effort to make sure the engines run the way they are supposed to and will not have problems We back the engines we sell
In the past few years Hils has sold more than 2 000 6 2 and 6 5L engines The 6 2 s are priced at $975 each The 6 5 long blocks are priced at $1 600
Our prices are much cheaper than the cost of rebuilding says Hils We get a lot of repeat business and referrals from satisfied customers
