It's all about perspective...
The H1 is loaded with all sorts of parts. I may not have the mix perfectly right...but from what I hear, there are parts from GM, Ford, Chrysler and a host of other manufacturers in that thing. The H1 is no pure-breed by any stretch of the imagination.
Several H1 owners have come to regard the utilization of GM parts as a positive aspect. After getting the pricing and availability of some H1 exlusive parts...nobody bats an eyelash at the convenience, affordability and availability of time-tested GM parts! I understnad an H2 heater-core to cost about $175, whereas an H1's cost about $2,500....come on back good buddy???
You want the truth??? Here's the truth: the unique dynamic that makes a Hummer a Hummer is this: fully independent suspension, gear-driven hubs for amazing clearance and CTIS. The H2 doesn't really have these features...it's more along the lines of conventional SUV's...but it is packed with lots of reinforcement, a super 4x4 system and lots of great feaures...
Bottom line: we're having a blast with 'em!!! And aside from a weak tie-rod issue, they seem to be pretty darn solid. The smiles on our faces says enough!
