    will it be up to the owners to provide and install engines, or will they have a list of engines availible?

    Very interesting development.

    Hmm, I guess since US Military isn't buying any more, tons of surplus for sale?

    Cummins engine is narrower than powerstroke AFAIK. a big gas engine might be interesting for street use, but again, may not fit.

    Makes sense to equip it with Duramax/Allison combo just like the rare H1 Alpha. They still use the Optimizer 6.5 diesel in the mil spec h1's.

    Sounds like HUMMER is being resurrected
    If they get a Duramax/Allison in them I'm jump all over it.

    Wow, interesting. Last time I heard good news regarding a Hummer was when that guy drove his Hummer in front of another car to save pedestrians in August.

    I thought GM sold the Hummer name to some Chinese outfit? Or was that a failed attempt?

    An SUV with a Duramax & Allison combo? YES PLEASE! Time to roll up in a Canyonero!

    I think its very unlikely the Hummer brand is coming back anytime soon, although I would love to see it back with new models.

    Word... wow I'd love to have one of those.

    All though if I had to supply ALL the drivetrain, for a 4wd, that would be stupidly costly, unless you could buy used components off of crashed Silverado 2500's & 3500's (on ebay lets say) and use those parts. Id be interested to see any sort of listing as to what would work VS. what wouldn't. I assume without any specific power & drive train in mind, everything would have to be customized completely to make it fit.
    Either way its going to be a shit ton of cash over & above the $59k. Too bad they didn't do a joint venture with GM, that you could buy it as a complete package for (lets say) $80-85k. That to me would make the most sense.

    The important question is will it fit 28" wheels?
