- n this video, I'll show you how to swap the transmission on a Humvee. This is a fairly straightforward process, but we ran into a lot of snags. I'll walk you through everything step-by-step, so you'll be able to do it yourself and have less struggles lol!

I live in the area and haven’t seen this Monster on the road yet. Very cool.
Thanks!
Just wait till the 6 speed kit is widely available.
it is...called Allison. They also make a 10-speed, but I dunno if anyone's tried to do it yet
Man what a bad ass build. Congratulations on your success. Just a beast of a vehicle!
Thank you! 🙌
FYI: Please keep in mind when getting to modify the Maxi-ambulance body interior you will be dealing with panels made Kevlar (intended for ballistic protection). If you ever tried drilling through carpeting, you will experience the same problems drilling through the woven Kevlar panels. AM General had those panels cut to size and holes, etc. cut in them with Laser cutters.
Oh yeah! I found that out lol. Its a bit tough
By that, he means wear a filter...you don't wanna breath those fibers, eh?
Nice fella!! 4-speed OD is definitely a good upgrade!
I'm currently about 250 hours into my Cummins/Allison 6-speed/NP205 swap...not dejected yet, but MAN!!!
Crazy! Such an improvement!
Slowly but surely
Dude loving the HMMWV build! Watched all the videos thus far. Can't wait to see more. You make me want to get one lol
Thank you! I have more coming out next week. You should totally get one lol
@roamingventures Awesome! I am subbed now, so I will for sure see it. Keep up the great work man. I think I just have to get one now LOL
@@KyleSVT DO IT!!! :) Last couple of months, Gov Planet has had a bunch of older non-runners go for about 2K-4K. Great starting point for a Cummins(👍) or Duramax(👎) build...
@bryanford1139 Yea I really want one lol
My goodness daddy sure has a big shop for you to work in. God bless.
lol I wish it was daddy’s shop! It’s just a portion I’m renting
Nice work
Thanks
Thank you sir
Is this a 6.5 or 6.2 engine? I'd love to do the 4 speed - but here in mountain country the 6.2 barely has enough to push it uphill in third with the RPMs screaming.
I'm torn between adding a turbo or the trans.
It’s the 6.2. I still would like to do the turbo
Considering this upgrade, what did you have to do to the shifter for the additional gear position?
Also you said you had to get a custom drive shaft, wouldn't a stock Humvee shaft work from a newer humvee with OD, and if you needed a different length in the back wouldn't you need a different length driveshaft to the front?
Thanks
For the shifter I found a 4 speed one off eBay. Yeah I have to get a custom one for the rear. It was actually about the same price as a used one off eBay so I got a new one. The front one ended up still working
be sure to change the oil in the geared hub(portal hubs). you dont want it seizing while going on highway.
For sure! I did that in the previous video when I swap the tires
...and get the Blue Hummer wheel bearing locking nut upgrade too...don't wanna lose a wheel at hi-way speeds either....
Any plans to upgrade the diesel motor?
Yes, that’s next !
What top/back is that I’d like to find one but I have no idea what that’s called. I’ve seen the helmet top but that’s a little different. It looks like of course.
It ambulance box on the back. It’s considered a HMMWV M977A3 👍
what type of driveshaft did you use?
I had one custom made
What was the total cost?
about 2k to swap the transmission
Do you have a breakdown of the cost and possibly part numbers, I'm looking to do the same thing. Did you have to swap the transfercase too?
What were the new transmission engine rpm at the same speed on the hiway?
Thanks
