Re: H2 160K Overhaul
 

this is some impressive DIY work. i wish i had the balls to do this. i would say knowledge too, but i think you would throw the hanes book at me like what was posted earlier.....

im just scared with all the little parts, because i normally end up with "Spare parts" after i work on things that arent suppose to have spare parts..

Re: H2 160K Overhaul

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
 

Farther down the rabbit hole.



More moisture.


WTF is that?




That diff is massive almost twice as big as a Rover diff!


This bushing is ok?

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
 

I still got to take more stuff apart, but today I made a step forward

-Trace horn problem. DONE!


Tracing the problem up the wire harness.






I changed this piece before.



Spindle.




I changed it for a new one, just forget to take ALL of the old one out!



Rust everywhere. WTF.

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
 

Diff ready to go back in.:excited:

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
 

Front diff got installed today. Piece of advice to any one doing this, power wash the undercarriage before reassembly!!!
Holly crap how can a truck be so rusted with that amount of grease underneath it.





Well deserved!

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
 

A great job!!Keep those pictures coming!!:perfect10s:

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
 

Putting that front diff back in single handedly is a real chore! lol. I had to do it by myself on my back in my driveway when I put my locker in.

Got the TC parts this week, thanks to Brodie at http://www.ridgedemon.com/ :beerchug:
My chain looks same as new one, no more play or wear then the old one. But I'll still change it, we all know it would break the second I would put it back together otherwise.


My new (to me) mirror got here this week to.
This one besides the obvious damage, the fold motor is bad.






All done can't test it, the battery is dead





Tomorrow is the big day slapping the TC back together! I sure could use a manual for it :winkie:, anyone...anyone...

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
 

$1.5k in parts this week, it all had to go in today.

Don't even ask me why...










Ooo, you want your car back then I suggest you get to work!


Everything that comes of got to get paint.



Tomorrow TC goes back in and Drive shafts.

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
 

Very nice. I have already decided that when my Hummer is old and tired it is going to be rebuilt/restored and kept going. Why spend the money on a new rig, when nothing else will compare. Spend it on the one that's paid for and make it the way you want it.

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
 

After working on it, I must say that this truck looks like it was build as a 3500 truck. If it wasn't for the plastic interior it's pretty solid truck.

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
 

TC is in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:beerchug:





It wasn't that bad

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
 

Got the drive shafts.









Trying to repaint the trim.

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
 

Unfortunately the A/C does not work it also doesn't want to switch between outside and inside air, the controller goes a little crazy when I select that. Don't the unit got to be programed by the dealer? I think I read that somewhere.
