Hummer H1 vs. HMMWV



The Hummer H1 is basically a HMMWV built for civilian use; it has no armor or weapons fittings. However, the drive-train, frame, body, suspension, etc., are exactly the same. The H1 differs from the HMMWV in having a civilian interior, including trim, comfortable seats, stereo, and air conditioning as standard options. As a result of its commercial use, features introduced in the civilian Hummer have been incorporated into improved military versions. The H1's electrical system is 12 volts, with the two batteries wired in parallel. The HMMWV runs on a 24V system, where the two batteries are run in series to generate 24 volts.





Any other thoughts guys... I know a lot of you wanted a Humvee.. so take the 24Volt into consideration..

Also ,the electrical system is water tight in the HMMWV. Thus this rig can go into water to the top of the intake snorkle,which depends on the modification the raise the snorkle . I've seen the whole truck under water still running.The guy had a 6 foot extension on the snorkle!

need to post that video on here Roy.. I think i have it...

No time for pics, just had to find plugs to drain the 2" of swamp from inside.

How long did it take to drain and dry???

DRY, water is probable still in the rubber underlay. As for drain, as long as we could keep the front end lower than the rear,not long.Was still dripping when we got home .
