    How many RPMs should a Humvee 1165 6.5 L turbo

    Has anyone tried a GPS or other style tach to get a correct reading? Thanks again.

    How many RPMs should a Humvee 1165 6.5 L turbo

    like I said, completely new to this. Is the dog house the engine cover that attaches from the inside? Also, has anyone done a transmission swap to a 6L80E to reduce rpm’s for highway driving? Would it help and hold up?

    How many RPMs should a Humvee 1165 6.5 L turbo

    I am completely new. Is there anything to insulate the floor and interior to reduce the engine and Road noise? There is no way my wife will ride in this thing as loud as it currently is. I have not bought the truck yet, but am seriously considering buying it. Anything else to look at? Thanks...

    How many RPMs should a Humvee 1165 6.5 L turbo

    with the 4L80E be turning at 55 mph, roughly? I test drove one that was between 3000-3500 at 55 and 60 mph. It seems like it took too long to shift and it might have a broken band in the trans or not going into overdrive. Thanks for your help.

    NC I am thinking about buying a Humvee

    and am wondering how hard it is to get insurance for it in NC. Are there certain companies or will all of them insure it? Thanks in advance.
