Re: h2 diesel for sale
So you're saying the H2 will be discontinued after 2010? Can anyone confirm this?

Yeah.... I would love an answer to this also, I think this is a big truckload of bull$hit, if they were gonna discontinue for 2010 then they never would have tooled up for the redesigned interior and new powertrain to only run it for the 2008/2009 model years. I guess you can tell people whatever it takes to sell your rig.
I have to admit your rig is kick A$$ with the duramax/allison conversion but at $75K its priced very steep. A new loaded 2008 can be had out the door for a solid $10-12K less without any serious negotiation not to mention it doesnt have 80K+ miles on the body/chassis..... I know alot of items have been reconditioned but its still got those miles, also the description says 4500 miles and the odometer in the picture shows 4100 which I think would make any potential buyer think twice. I wish you the best of luck on your sale but I have to say I think you got your work cut out for you.

I think he means GM is not going to put the 4.5 Diesel in the H2, not that the H2 is no longer going to be made.

Re: h2 diesel for sale
I thought he meant no more diesel too, not no more H2. Didn't even realize GM made it in diesel.
Any better gas mileage under the diesel setup?
I read the whole ebay post expecting some type of claim to justify putting in a diesel engine but didn't see it or missed it.

Re: h2 diesel for sale
Let me answer some questions...
No, I am not making "any" claims to sell my rig, matter of fact I should have not even advertised here....a mistake...Sorry for the inconvenience.
GM/AM general will apparently continue to make the H2 in the present model of SUV and SUT at 48-50 units per day. The new 915 platform was a redesign for 2010 SUV with the gas and Diesel 4.5L and the new SUT which had a 6 foot bed. The present platform as you all know is the older 800 that shared some components with the 2500 Sierra and Silverado.
As it stands now the H2 is exempt from CAFE under the weight classification. With a the 2010 model redesign and new government mandates this would not be the case anymore and they can not achieve the economy targets.
Everybody thought the new GM contract was "in the bag" but 2 weeks ago the bad news came. Now they are shut down because of the American Axle strike which will get ugly.
The CAFE is a "per brand" average.
While Chevy has the small cars to help the big trucks and compensate, Hummer does not. The H3 is not an economical vehicle either.
It will take a while to be made public if they will even do that soon.
I drive the truck to work every day. I expect to rack up another 400 miles by the time the add runs out - thanks for the tip I will correct the mileage description.
Economy - what I have observed so far is 13.7-15 mpg city driving with temperatures down to -20 F on winter diesel which has additives and will not give you the best economye. I compare that with the 8-9 mpg I used to get last winter.
Driving 65-70 MPH highway I get 18-20 MPG. Jump over 80 MPH and the "brick" will give you get down to 15.5-16 MPG. Either way you look at it the improvement is in the 60-70% efficiency over gas. Now remember these numbers are with the truck tuned at 500HP at the crank in performance mode.
Rear locker button ? Sorry I don't get it....
Hope it helps...

Bull$hit. I think your truck kicks ass, and I don't see anything terribly wrong with your ebay ad. Phuck the naysayers, and good luck with the sale. And I hope you keep us updated on the 2008 project.

CAFE is "Fleet Wide" average, so the 2010 H2 will have plenty to balance with - such as the all-electric Chevy volt due out around that time...
