I am quite sure AM General, the maker of the Humvees owns the 6.5L engine plant now. My mother and step father work for AM General and my step dad is a drive instructor/tech. The blocks prone to cracking were at the #8 cylinder wall. Some dill rod engineer thought shaving that little bit of weight would save on fuel but all it did was lead to cracking blocks, another proof of what looks good on paper doesn't work in the real world. AM General must supply GM with all the parts they manufacture for so many years. Keep in mind that our military never got those problem engines. They used only the mechanical IP's and only a solid cast block. The little solenoids only cost about $40 here. They don't go out that often but often enough. And there are ways of using mechanical means to control what the vacuum pump used to do.
