I am going to find you.
That is possibly the worst anti-theft system ever conjured. Who decided shutting off the fuel injectors for 10 minutes would be any help at all? Car thief's would just wait the 10 minutes out, especially when it doesn't even sound the alarm. You might be thinking " Wow! This could literally only fuck over the owner." CORRECT!!! And it wouldn't be so bad if it didn't malfunction all the fucking time. Every day or two without fucking fail, it will throw a hissy fit, and now I get to sit in a 115F car with my thumb up my ass for just trying to turn my car on.
I've cleaned the connectors with ECM cleaner, I've replaced the ignition cylinder, I've swapped keys and to no fucking avail. I shouldn't have to ship my car off to a third-party to get the VATS ripped out of it, yet that's probably what I'll have to do! It is honestly surprising that someone hasn't sued over this (that I know of), considering how dangerous it is/could be. What if there's a tornado, or a wildfire, or a shooting and I have to start my car and drive away but instead I get a blinking little padlock and a gigantic fuck you from my own car, and now I'm dead!! (Hypothetically).
And can someone please tell me how heat affects a anti-theft system???? This shit never happens in the fall, winter, or spring, but as soon as Summer rolls around, I might as well be gambling every I try and turn my car on. It has made me late countless times, and I can't even leave 10 minutes early in anticipation of it happening, because it might happen twice in a row. Seriously, what the actual fuck?? I hate this car, and I think I hate myself more.
I have driven H2 a few times but never owned either h2 or h3. I am looking for an SUV that has v8 power to tow up to 5k camper and 4x4, so i have been considering an h2 or h3. I love the look and know they come with all the power needed to haul anything to anywhere. So as a potential new owner, with about 12k budget, pls download to me all the pros and cons /w your recommendation on H2 or H3. it would be my daily driver but i rarely drive more than 15miles a day during the work week.
*EDIT: i am not really going "offroad". We occasionally get enough snow and ice to be a problem getting around and i take my camper to the beach and places where the access is a muddy trail, but i am not really going "mudding", or overland type offroad stuff.
Did I score? I was looking for something comfortable and capable for my wife, young daughter, and dog. They both wanted something that rides better and is not as big as my lifted Cummins for our weekend adventures, minor overlanding, and camping off forest roads (I live in British Columbia Canada)
Picked up this 2006 H3 Luxury package with a clean body/frame and a clean car fax for 6200$CAD from a local dealer with just under 178000k’s with new brakes (pad/rotors), new suspension, and brand new Sumimoto Encounter AT2 tires.
Right place at the right time? I was just driving by the dealer and noticed it on the first day they had it on the lot and threw a deposit on it. Apparently the dealer received multiple back up offers and calls in the 5 days it was posted online. This was cheaper/cleaner than the other 4x4s and leaky wranglers I was looking at and this checked plenty of my boxes at the low end of my budget.
I had it inspected, the dealer took care of the recommendations (at dealers cost) for the agreed price and it came with a 30 day warranty.
I’ve put over 350km’s on it and so far it’s smooth as butter, no codes, or problems at all.
What should I be watching out for with the 3.5?
Does anyone know where I can get headlight/fog light adapters for a 7” headlight shipped to Canada? And which size led bulbs fit the roof lights?
I’m going to be inheriting a 2008 H3 that’ll need some work soon. I plan on heading to the junkyard to pick up some door handles and other things but was wondering what the most commonly pulled items are. Anything I should pick up just in case?
Thanks
My 2007 Hummer H3 has an intermittent issue where it will randomly lose power and shut off while driving or idling. Sometimes I get “Reduced Engine Power” and a traction control warning before it stalls. When I try to restart it, the engine sounds like it is struggling to turn over and makes the noise shown in the video if this happens when driving the car will jerk forward then pause for a few feet before breaking down. The problem is inconsistent and may disappear temporarily, with the vehicle starting and running normally again afterward. I’m trying to diagnose the issue and am completely lost. I replaced the ECU, throttle body, transmission, air pump, and radiator.
About two months ago my H3 had been giving me the STAB SYSTEM failure alert before pretty much going into limp mode. The engine sounds awful when idle and I checked everything for corrosion and replaced the throttle pedal itself and I still have this problem. Anyone have any advice?
Hey everyone, I wanna buy a hummer H2 SUT but I wanna know how much it cost to fill up a tank. I'm in South Carolina and gas runs about $3.40 to $3.80
Can anyone help identify what wheel and guard these are?
I suspect the wheel may be a Hutchinson.
Found a used 07 H3 automatic in my area in near perfect condition. Cheap, new drive shafts front and rear, new spark plugs and starter and almost every off road addition I could want.
My only concern is the transmission. It’s at 200k miles and no history of transmission work or replacement. Right now I need a good daily driver for my 150 mile work trips through snow and mountain passes, and I don’t want to keep sinking money into my beat up 98 4Runner.
Do yall think this is a solid choice for reliability as a daily and an adventure rig?
Bought it recently from a guy who had several, just got some rust mass applied and installed a diy rear camera for parking. It has a lot of nice features like cross of malta headlights, custom contour pieces and indicator lights.
Just got a new H1 ready for a full restoration.
