I had a truck with the 6.2L diesel and i loved it, 400,000 miles before the truck was retired. Or in short when i flipped 4 times down the highway... Even than the big thing i remember after the rollover is the engine still running....

You have a very nice looking Humvee. Have you considered upgrading to something like a Duramax 6.6 liter diesel. They're quieter, more powerful, and with a modern Allison transmission you'll have no problem surpassing 60 MPH and cruising at highway speeds. The new Duramax engines are very reliable and a straightforward replacement for your 6.5 liter.

Dan told me he checked everything. There were times when I was very close to dropping everything from Plan B. Very unprofessional service.
