| 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. | |

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.

Replying to: hummernvette (Feb 22, 2007 8:06 pm) 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 !!

| 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. | |

Replying to: grandadchu (Mar 23, 2007 12:46 am) 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. |

| Well I just got back from my local hummer dealership and was shooting the breeze with my salesman guy waiting for my oil change and he tells me that the o8's will have a high end option of 5.3 V8!!!! Obviously the price will be higher but he said that as times goes on he hopes they offer it as a mix and match deal in the ie base with v8. He said the 08's should be here in about 6 months!!! | |

Don't know if the I5 is robust enough to supe(r) up with a s/c and now don't really care. Wanted new torsion bars and rear leafs and can join another forum and sign up, but ennui. B_H will commute and we will travel with her 3.5. The 5.3 even with 4.10's gives towing ability [and a rock crawling iron front dif - and a kudo to gm (but wrangler pressure? result)] per a paraphrased gm release by someone somewhere. But 5.3 still needs to feed 1.8L more than the 3.5 all the time. Keeping the speed down [(remember the old double nickels)which a noted person in the business in dfw said can reduce fuel/oil needs more so than a lot of things] can keep our mpg's up if we so desire. I am vehicle bored (after a lot of time with a diesel) and will just change the oil and keep B_H's H3 fueled up. |

Tired and sick of other forums and attacks, ae's, and trolls. At times I feel like it is 1890 and all owners are discussing the latest and greatest horse carriage. I will never buy another (insert your dislike here). Are we coming up on a change? Why did Ford and GM destroy mass transit decades ago? Here in texas there has been a change in the disregard of courtesy and law, including road rules. The death in a car collision of the gentleman (who brought Christmas Story to the screen - Red Ryder BB Gun)and his son by a drunken unlicensed pick up truck driver in Ca reinforces one of the reasons b_h drives an h3 to work. I will stay here at edmunds and not join the tough off-road crowd who, like some, show contempt for others and think they have the only right answer. Thank you edmunds.
