Replying to: extech2 (Mar 09, 2007 5:32 pm) Good report. Yes, feels more solid than any half ton or less. You're right someone always has more power and some don't know how to use what they have. Some are go fast straight ahead only. We've had to brake going uphill on a curving ramp in econo boxes because some bimmer driver or such couldn't use what they had.

Replying to: extech2 (Mar 09, 2007 5:32 pm) "Our salesman wasn't really interested in showing us anything, he probably thought we couldn't afford it."   Will you be a be back for this salesman? Did he look like a newbie? Was he having a bad day? He should have never given you that impression, no matter what. Sold chevies and hondas during one year, twenty years ago. Never bought a honda, test drove wagons and the minvan's first year but traded our only ever chevy (until the '04 malibu) for a previa. Maybe he/she will read this.   In blue jeans, when we were first married, looked at volvo's and mercedes' in dallas and we were treated with respect.

Replying to: tired_old_dave (Mar 09, 2007 7:24 pm) Our salesman was I think from a middle-eastern country and seemed to be thoroughly bored during our rather brief test drive. I might visit another dealer or rent the H3, we can rent one for $119 a day with 300 miles included. After the drive I told my wife that every American male between the age 13 and 96 has two fantasies: one is to drive a Hummer, the second is to take a bubble bath with Pamela Anderson. Ever since then I'm sleeping in the garage, but it isn't too bad, our two dogs keep me quite warm and our Toyota truck has a cozy bedliner.
#1178 of 1248 v8 talk again by tired_old_dave Mar 22, 2007 (7:18 am)
Another forum is up and running about the v8 and thinking a heavy 5.3, what about the 4x4 alum. 5.3, what about possibly a lot of 4.8's sitting around, what about rpo GT5 4.10 gears, is this platform really an Isuzu, is the tranny really good for much heavier towing duty, what about the driveline and more power, a 2wd alpha, no adventure package, - a second hummer and no bu in the garage? Waiting and being teased is just like a little one waiting for santa.
#1179 of 1248 V8 Fantasy for H3 by grandadchu Mar 23, 2007 (12:46 am)
Guys, Please forget the fantasy that H3 will come with an V8 engine. Who else would buy a H2 if GM makes H3 so attractive and so much lower in price? I already own a 2006 H3 so may be i can say something objectively. I do think GM had mis-priced the 2006 H3. It is not a generic SUV model, it is designed as a dream car which people puts in in their wish list. GM should have priced the H3 in the 40K's, a bit closer to their 60K's+ H2. A 30K H3 is a steal.

#1180 of 1248 Re: #5 Cylinder Problem? [hummernvette] by grandadchu Mar 23, 2007 (12:56 am)
Replying to: hummernvette (Feb 22, 2007 8:06 pm) To those unfortunate few that have cylinder problems, could you tell me the dates of production of your vehicle and what is your current odomater readings? I have heard some members said that cylinder head problems occurred in early 2005 productions and those vehicles that rolled out of the assemly line after Jan or feb 2006 would have the cylinder head problems fixed before sending out to the dealers' lots. And those earlier make models would have the cylinder head problems pop up after the odometer surpassed 10K miles. Kindly send in your info to verify this observation. It would help many other early buyers of H3 to file claims !! Replies to this message: bummerhummer (Apr 02, 2007 8:36 am) jpf (Apr 25, 2007 7:09 pm)
#1181 of 1248 Rear Safety Locks for 2006 by grandadchu Mar 23, 2007 (1:14 am)
I bought my 2006 H3 when they did not install child safety locks for the rear doors. (Why would GM ever did this in the beginning?) My question to those more knowledgeable is: can a after market safety lock be installed for the rear doors? My grandson is getting bigger and wiser, I am afraid he may accidentally open the rear door if he ever sneaked out of the safety seat? Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.
#1182 of 1248 Re: V8 Fantasy for H3 [grandadchu] by tired_old_dave Mar 23, 2007 (5:30 pm)
Replying to: grandadchu (Mar 23, 2007 12:46 am) You can buy one in the $40's. It's great in any configuration. We could've been very happy with a 3.5 or 3.7 I6 and not have balance shafts but this is designated a truck engine - compromise with long stroke and ohc. It works as the package is presented. Would we buy a small v-8 w/out the adventure package but with a rear e-locker - probably if the rear can go higher to 3.73 or 4.10 and give highway performance(and keep the good '06).   I noticed that some good people on one of the other forums is working to get those torsion bars and springs - thank you. S/C - still working on separate lubricant vs crankcase oil since this poster turned into a forum hog on e's slippery forum - yes oil for the engine (and possibly a s/c later).   Turbo's/dieseleuro stuff - listen to your answer - big detroit push rods rock. My ford service advisor raced chevy not ford. Why asked tod? I can afford to rebuild a chevy and race again next weekend but if the ford gets blown up after several weekends, it will sit.   tod is trying to not post but would also like a real discussion and not whining a few decades late about the state of the union.

Replying to: grandadchu (Mar 23, 2007 12:56 am) I regetfully own a 2007 H3 Hummer. I purchased it January 13, 2007. I was told it was the Cadillac of Suvs by Wright Hummer of Pittburgh. 2.5 months later and 4000 miles, I own a H3 with a defective cylinder head. I guess I don't want to own a Cadillac...8 -10 days for repair because of slow parts availability. Replies to this message: jpf (Apr 25, 2007 7:09 pm)
