My 04 H2 factory extended warranty is coming due, what should I check for?
 

Knock on wood, my h2 has been extremely reliable and for the most part trouble free. My factory extended warranty is coming up 1/2011 but I am taking it now because the front bearings seem to be going bad again and is making horrible noises. Hopefully this will be the last time I use the warranty, what else should I tell them to check for? I was also told my drive shaft is a bit loose when they tug on it. Mirrors seem to vibrate a bit as well (not sure if this is covered under extended factory warranty). What are common things that go out on the h2 with 70k miles on it?

Hi get them to check all the front end parts tie rods, ball joints, idler arm, pitman arm, both drive shafts ujoints and oil leaks. Also make sure your AC is working correct all of these items can be costly to fix.

To add to the list above mine had leaking front axle seals, a broken exhaust manifold bolt and cracked oil cooler lines (causing a leak).

I also sealed up leaking Marker Lights and repaired my 6 CD Player when a CD broke inside it....never play CD's when 4 wheeling :raar:

When I bought it in 2006 the outside mirrors had already been replaced with the updated version. Don't know what else had been done to it.

Alot of repairs, but hopefully that's all for a while. Luv this damn truck:grouphug:

Awesome.... thanks

Just an update, turns out the front end was shot from bearings, to idler arms, pitman arms, etc. I guess this why my Toyos wore down 1/4 inch for only 3k miles. The extended warranty finally payed off.
