Is anyone having problems with their #5 cylinder problems with their 06 Hummer? I have had my Hummer H3 in the shop 4 times during my 8 months of ownership with this problem. The dealer has replaced fuel injector and spark plug but nothing has changed. It started when the engine light came on and the rpms would fluctuate between 2500 and 3100 rpm at 75 mph while engine was warming up. Even when the light would go off and I let the dealer know, they said they couldn't figure out what is going on. On top of this, I have been averaging about 12 miles a gallon after this problem occurred. If anyone has any information that would help, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I am bored and lazy. I have not; contacted engineers, researched the library or the internet, contacted vortec engineering, and etc. Spent some time at vortec engineering netsite, remember (maybe at edmunds) how the 2.4 gm engine was pushed beyond limits thought possible by me. Can a small boost vortec centifugal supercharger (vcs) be added to the 3.5 I5? Can a small vcs be driven from an electric motor? Is that motor necessary - i.e. is the loss from the crank enough to warrant the the electrical circuits to time the motor speed vs drag or drain to the alternator? Can the guts of the 3.5 handle any of this? Can this be coupled to an enlarged exhaust system to make a "wow" what was that experience?

We are getting a new truck or SUV within the next 6 months and the H3 is on the "wanted" list. My question: would you get another H3 if your current vehicle would get stolen or totaled? How is the reliability and the dealer service? The relative lack of power and poor gas mileage doesn't matter much, we only drive about 7000 miles per year. Please feel free to post as much info as you have time for.

Replying to: extech2 (Mar 05, 2007 4:23 pm) We test drove a new 5.3 tahoe and don't know about the cylinder deactivation. We did a test loop at Classic and it doesn't involve interstate driving. The gas pedal felt like we were driving our old toyota goose 4wd with 65hp at the wheels. Someone told us we should've floored it anytime we didn't want cyl deact. The H3 is built for off-road with it's 4.56 dif's. Autobahn? trips in texas eats mpg just like some posters say - keep it as slow as possible and not over 70mph. We don't care - we will spend money to get time every chance. Build quality-test drive as many as possible like we did and don't except anything but perfect at buy time - entrophy exists. Just used better-half's hand me down '04 malibu to bring home deco bark(raised garden beds mulch) - (6) 3 cu ft bags per load in the trunk. Wells cargo trailer going to the auction block. Do you need the truck bed? Rumors persist about the 5.3 w/out cyl deact in the H3. Latest chatter elsewhere talks about ordering this summer for fall delivery. Then you start the first year build clock again. Good luck and good to be objective and keep all options open. I hope b_h's H3 hand me down will be our beater in years to come.
