Tranny...GM 4L80E
Engine...GM (the 6.5 td is on of the most mass prouced diesel engines ever)
Steering...Saginaw box (common on many RV's) FORD steering column
Transfer Case...New Process 242 (common amongst 90's 4x4)
Door Handles...Early Jeep Cherokee
Brake rotors/pads/calipers...AMC Eagle Wagon
Hood/Body& entire driveline...HMMWV mil. surplus (except doors)
Soft Top (GMA Cover or BesTop are mfr.'s)
Fuel Delivery...Stanadyne
CTIS...parts at most hardware stores

The full parts reference has been documented on www.amghummer.com

I'd guess the tough parts after 10 years will be the H1 specific interior parts (already have been discontinued in the tan/brown color). That's really the only part that AMG makes specific to the H1 that is not available on the HMMWV or made by another manufacturer or two.
I could SSOOOOO!!!!!! make some joke comments about the H1 in reference to how we H2 owners were received by the H1 crowd 3 years ago. About the rebodied Tahoe comments that were constantly made by the ignorant ones. I could say stuff again about the mixmaster manner in which the H1 has been built.

But I won't, suffice to say.... it'll be serviceable for years to come. I'm betting the internation HMMWV market will make parts readily available for years and years to come. Conversion companies reproducing H1 type components for overseas markets should keep a lot of things available.
