| 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.

| Did second oil change with 5w30 mobil 1 a few hundred miles ago and now approaching 10k miles. Recently, while returning from okc to dfw, took b_h's h3 up to 4k rpms and amazed me (and the surrounding assortment of hd trucks and suv's)having to use the truck lane going up the arbuckles passing the aformentioned group. The h3 is just fine even with the 3.5 engine. | |

Replying to: tidester (May 03, 2007 7:09 pm) The net seems to condescend "edmunds". I was hoping to generate a good discussion with people feeling free to join in and not get ridiculed. I am curious; even though the H3 doesn't have a turbo and have posted at oil slippery subject, liked redline 15w40 in the crd. Has any body used 5w30 redline in an h3 and gone by the DIC (and not mobil 1 for 6k miles)? Thinking about redline 5w30 and let the oil change go until the onstar update.

I am having a hard time getting a dealership to tell me they can get me a 2006 H3x with no mileage (or very little). All the sales guys keep pushing is a 2007, but I am thinking I can get a greater rebate if I can find a 2006...is this foolhearty? Where are all the 2006s out there? I see that under current rebates and incentives a lot of manufacturers are listing deep rebates on remaining (new) 2006 models they are looking to clear out, but I am having a hard time finding them when I contact the dealers...such as SAAB, Hummer, GMC Yukon, etc.. It is like I am hitting my head against the wall in talking to the sales people. Can anyone shed some light on this?
