Re: should i buy or not
 

what problems? i have one from june of 05 and havent had any problems?

Re: should i buy or not
 

No, you gotta ask then no, go get a FJ or Cherokee.

Re: should i buy or not
 

Ya, how many horror stories??? Do it, buy now!

Re: should i buy or not
 

There are going to be individual vehicles of any make and model that have problems. There have been absolutely no wide spread problems with the H3.

Re: should i buy or not
 

No problems here. Almost a year having mine.

Re: should i buy or not
 

There were a couple reports of the head problem, but I think the cause was identified and corrected. A search will tell you. For a completely new model, the H3 has had remarkably few problems. We've had no problems with ours in 7000 miles.

Re: should i buy or not
 

well im asking because i know the better knowledge comes from forums like this one, its like the jeepfroum, i own jeep also and the forums all right most of the time.

i was refering to the problems expressed in the tchnical seccion of this forum were some had to have the cylinder head replaced and such.

was the change on the 2007's made because of this troubles.?

Re: should i buy or not
 

As far as I recall there were only a couple on here that had the head problem. The engine change for '07 was not because of this. I have had mine for just over 6 months and 8K miles with absolutely no problems.

Re: should i buy or not
 

its good to see your comments,, thanks.
most likely i will buy it tomorrow. then put some 35 mtrs with black wheels and black out every single chrome piece LOL. and instaled my roof tent.

wich brings me to a second question.

whats the deal with turnind 2 turns on the torsion bars for leveling and adding 35's?

excuse my english.

Re: should i buy or not
 

Just hit a year..:D Yeh ! :D 18,000 miles no major problems.

Re: should i buy or not
 

ok ,,didnt want to do a comercial but its ok ,thanks

Re: should i buy or not
 

Cylinder head issue is turning out to be not as big of a deal as everyone thought. New head is installed on all engines built after March 31. The new engine was scheduled long before the cylinder head issue became known.
I have 16K, about an exact year old, and only problem I have had is the TCCM replaced. I do need new roof rails, but hate going to the dealer. (Not because I hate the dealer, or the dealer is bad, but because I hate driving there and dropping off the vehicle.)

read the whole page, this is funnnnay:D

Re: should i buy or not
 

Sorry but for a minute there I thought this was from a troll looking for recommendations on warm footwear.

I have over 21K on my H3 and no engine problems to date. I am pleasantly surprised by it's reliability and lack of defects (my last daily driver was a Toyota which I owned for 3 years).
