It's the Little Things that Make the H3 Nice to Own! by better_half

Okay everybody, I know this is a girlie kind of post, but some of you may not have discovered this wonderful feature of the H3 yet!
 
I thought this was worth noting since I see several female drivers of H3's! After having a few cars that would only allow you to carry a little travel package of tissues, I'm pleased to report that in the H3's center console under the shallow tray that lifts out, a full sized cube style Boutique box of Kleenex fits perfectly! There's still plenty of room for a few of those other things you might want in the center console! The shallow tray even goes back where it belongs without sticking up!
 
You see, it's the little things like this that make the H3 Nice to Own!

Why Edmunds by tired_old_dave

Edmunds was the first place I joined when we bought a Previa. It's meant to be family friendly - the Hosts have slapped my hand a couple of times. It's condemned on the net as having a bunch of idiots posting misinformation (that's everywhere and what is right is what is right in the mind of the individual, even though most people agree that 2 + 2 = 4).
 
I read two other forums. One post has the shallow tray mentioned above by better_half as being discontinued. Other items of interest:
 
Some may experience engine head problems (and it seems GM goes out of their way to keep you happy) but supposedly H3 motors built after March 31, 2006 have stronger valve train. Not concerned.
 
Chatter about failing heater cores. Not concerned.
 
Mention of a front differential? on the IFS going bad and clunking especially when rock crawling and using 4low. No mention if rear e locker engaged. Something about bushings?. Other IFS's with aluminum differentials split their case and warranty is denied by that brands parent company. Not concerned.
 
Big concerns now are getting a shorter antenna so it doesn't hit going in and out of the garage, and need a new ball mount to bridge the big gap from receiver to the trailer.

I just ordered one myself and can't wait to climb in and play with everything... you are right, the little things count. Thanks for the tip.
  Does anyone have one with the navi system? How does it do w/ DVD's? I got the luxury level and am wondering about the little things now, like is it w/ the single CD or 6 CD changer, etc. Should be talking to the dealer before long, but I would like to know what owners have to say.

Service Light On by tsh3

After 17000 Miles My service light came on. Took the H3 to the dealer. Engine running a little rough at idle. Found out that valve seat was a problem. They are replacing the Head on my engine. The dealership said they are not trying to repair the head on the H3 but replacing it.

Thanks for the calm post. Other h3 forums have lots on this issue. It seems motors built before 4/1/2006 (and a given vin number) may be involved. Real design change or implementation of qc on just in time parts? Again, from other forums, one way for others who only read here, to check the date of their motors is on a sticker on the valve cover facing the firewall. Our motor has a 4/21/2006 build date and we feel for others, but the general is on top of this unlike the pain caused by dcx and the crd we used to own.

Can a Hummer be towed, via tow bar, with ALL 4 wheels on the pavement?

I would think so since it is the same drive line as my Colorado 4 X 4 Crewcab that I have towed many thousands of miles behind my motorhome.
