What are the exact upgrades, besides the 33 in tires and underbody protection?

What are the exact upgrades, besides the 33 in tires and underbody protection?
|
by the way i did a search but the answers i found are a bit inconclusive. I understand the rear locker, 33 tire upgrade, and underbody protection come with the adv. package. Is this the only difference?
|
i believe the shocks are different too
|
I believe they go into more detail at Hummer.com but not sure.

The undercarriage protection on the adv. is no different from the base. The shocks are tuned to be more stiff and give a more responisve feel when off-roading. Personally, I can't tell much of a difference in ride quality.

The adventure package comes as follows:
1) 33" tires 2) 4.56 gear ratio (probbaly due to the larger tire killing the stock gear setup) Plus more offroad ability gearing wise. 3) stiffer suspension and shocks. 4) different (lower) gearing in the transfer case. IMO a must if you are purchasing a HUMMER. I didnt care about the leather or the monsoon radio upgrade as I already added a rear sub by Infinity which IMO is more durable and has better base than the monsoon. To add the tires later to a non 4:56 geared H3 makes the off the line launches poor gearing wise as well as the cost. To add different gears in the front and rear end would cost a fortune, as well as changing the gearing in the transfer case. the 3grand option give you a lot for your money. Hope this helps. and no the adventure package comes with the same front aluminum skid plate and the wimpy transfer case skid. The undercarriage protection is well worth the cash I have it and it is stout, along with the rocker protection you are good to go for any trails w/o the fear of coming doen on a rock and busting you tranny or t-case up. UNO |
I almost forgot it also gives you the dash actuated (by button) rear locker...again a lot of bang for the buck.
If you added up the cost of all the parts plus labor there is no way you could get even the parts for 3 grand. |

You also get carpeted mats and you get a left rear compartment unless you have the monsoon stereo.

what is the 4:1 vs 2:1 transfer case?

And are 33's really going to rob noticeable power from me if i upgrade from the stock 31's down the road?

i put Terra Grappler 33's on my base H3 with no problem. truck runs great. other than the obvious lack of power complaint by everyone, i don't notice a problem. i did raise the torson bars up an inch in the front...rides great.
good luck |

I have the adventure package and it doesnt come with an underbody protection. I already ordered the underbody protection from GM and Offroad lamps & rocker panels. will be taking before/after pictures as well as installation pictures, will post them when done, not sometime soon though.

The caged underbody protection is optional on all vehicles, but should be a requirement if doing any serious off-roading. |

again............what is the difference between the two transfer cases.......i guess what i am asking is what do the numbers 2:56 and 4:1 mean??

hehehe H3HUMVEE you bad bad boy, that's the answer he's looking for
![]() What HUMVEE is trying to tell you, the higher the T-case ratio is the stronger the case is. i.e. in rockcrawling condition or extreme offroading conditions the 4:1 case gives a lot more power than the 2.64:1 |

I agree with the previous posts and wish I would have gotten the Adventure package in June! It's a bargain for all they give you. I also believe the salesman told me the Adventure has one more leaf or thicker leafs?? They only had one at the dealer and I thought it rode a little stiffer, but have ridden in an Adventure H3 since, at the Ozark Offroad Bash I can now barely tell the difference in the ride with it and mine. I have added slightly larger offroad tires and with the stock gearing the acceleration has suffered a little, but perhaps the highway mpgs have improved, because I get consistent 17s on the highway. Go with the Adventure Package!

Hate to tell all, but a few weeks ago this popped up in the tech section, and I confirmed with the engineer in charge of axles, and there is only ONE axle ratio offered on the 2006 H3 Hummer; and that is 4.56:1.

? so the only diff is the 33 in. tires, stiffer shocks, and 4:1 Tcase?
Then 33in. tire upgrade would not impact a lux package at all? The lux set up with 31 in tires should be getting better accl. than one with the adventure package? |

Correct, upgrading to 33 in tirs is no problem. As for acceleration, not sure you would be able to tell the difference. Besides the standard tires are 32", off-road are 33." Biggest difference between the tires is the 33s are Bridgstone and are better for off-road than the Goodyear Wrattlers on the standard package. |

acceleration and hummer in same sentence you guys are a riot .
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
i am not interested in being fast, but i just dont want to hinder stock accl. ect....
|
A 4:1 gearbox is like being in the lowest gear on a mountain bike (ie your pealing fast and not going very far, but you can make it up a very steep hill). A 2.56:1 gearbox is like being in a low to middle gear (ie your peading slower, and can't make it up a steep hill, you just dont have the power, so you switch to an easier gear). Same with a lower t case ratio. The 4:1 can crawl and climb better that a 2.56 box. That is why the h3 adventure has plent of power to climb steep ass hills without stalling, even though it has a relatively small motor.
|
I'm about ready to blow a gasket on this one, so I'll KEEP sitting this one out.

Yea Hummer and acceleration in the same sentence is a riot for sure
![]() But we keep reading about people complaining about the power on the road. Then they add 35" and 37" tires and complain even more as the auto tranny downshifts constantly trying to maintain any speed going up hills. In my opinion H3 power is adequate, but I'm not in a rush to make it even slower. ![]() S. |
thanx steve, that was my exact point/concern.

The engineer in question is the head service engineer for this part, he is a manager, he is also in charge of the release of this part to service application. He assured me it was a 4:55:1 gear, and this went right along with all the vehicle history build sheets I pulled up in the system. In my opinion, I don't need to nudge him. Maybe those with all their innuendos and assumptions should get nudged a bit. ![]() Partial copy of my Build sheet, H3, auto, with off-road package: G94 - LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL HC4 - REAR AXLE 4.56 JB9 - BRAKE LIGHT JJA - PT DRESS SUBASSEMBLY INSTALLED JL4 - STABILITRAK-STABILITY CONTROL KA1 - FRONT HEATER SEAT KG7 - 125 AMP GENERATOR K05 - ENGINE BLOCK HEATER K34 - CRUISE CONTROL L52 - 3.5L DOHC 220HP ENGINE M30 - 4-SPD AUTOMATIC TRANS W/ STABILITRAK-STABILITY CONTROL NP5 - LEATHER WRAPPED STEERING WHEEL NR6 - 4:1 TRANSFER-CASE NT9 - FEDERAL EMISSION SYSTEM TIER 2 Build sheet of a H3, manual, off-road package: FE9 - 50-STATE EMISSIONS HC4 - REAR AXLE 4.56 JB9 - BRAKE LIGHT JJA - PT DRESS SUBASSEMBLY INSTALLED KG7 - 125 AMP GENERATOR K34 - CRUISE CONTROL L52 - 3.5L DOHC 220HP ENGINE MA5 - MANUAL TRANSMISSION NR4 - 4WD TRANSFER CASE NT9 - FEDERAL EMISSION SYSTEM TIER 2 These are the actual build sheets produced when the vehicle is run down the assembly line. |
