Re: I5 or V8?
Well, it really depends on how you will drive the truck.
The difference between the 3.5 and 3.7 isn;t all that noticable.
The weight of the vehicle between the I5 and V8 Equipped trucks are very minimal. The I5 is 4700lbs and the ALpha (V8) is 4851. If you plan to wheel and run 35's, make sure to go with the off road susp. package. That will get you front and rear lockers as well.
If you plan to trailer anything the V8 is the way to go as well. You're at 6,000lbs vs 4500 with the I5.
I have owned tow H3's, one with the I5 and one with the V8. I got rid of the I5 due to the lack of power.
Go on HUMMER.com and order yourself a brochure. Than go drive the trucks. I guarentee if you drive the Alpha, you won;t even consider the I5 if you are n;t going to tow anything or have more than one passenger.
