Default Planning H2 purchase

I am planning to get an H2 probably within the next few months. I have been reading on here for awhile learning what I can, but I have a few questions I have not found good answers too yet.

1.
Are there different gear ratios? I found an old post saying at that time they were all 4.11, but have they added anything different?

2.
Are there any years that stand out as being better? I understand that they got more power in 2008, and a 6spd tranny in '08 or '09?

3.
I looked at a 2005, and above the 4X4 buttons there was a button with a pic of an axle with an X on the diff and a little padlock. Is this an electric rear locker? And do any have a front locker? The dealer had no clue about Hummers at all.

4.
What does the adventure package add? Is the air ride part of that? I will be using it offroad.

I will probably have more questons later, but I have been scouring the search function to try to keep them to a minimum. Thanks!

1. I believe they all come stock with 4.10 gear ratio.

2. I have owned both a 2005 and 2008 H2's and loved both of them. Although I have to say I like my 2008 a lot better. It has tons of power and the transmission is much more refined. I also love the interior of my 08'. Don't get me wrong though, you really can't go wrong!

3. The button with the "X" on it is indeed an electric rear axle locker. No h2's have came from the factory with front lockers.

4. Not exactly sure what all the adventure package adds, but I know you can jump on hummer.com and it shows you what all the package adds.

Hope this helps!

Thank you both, that does help. Looking at the Hummer site, it looks like all the adventure package adds is the air suspension and a brush guard. Is the air ride really that big of a deal? Seems like some have had issues with it and removed it. Something else to research, I guess!

Thanks again!

the air ride can be an issue. lots of parts working together to get the job done. one thing goes out and u might be chasing ghosts for a while. well if you are like me and trust no one to touch your vehicles. if you do look at one with the air ride. start it up push she button with the up/down arrows and the back of the truck. close the door and the air compressor will kick on and jack the rear end up a few inches. when its up crawl under there with a flash light and take a look at the bags. where they fold over tends to dry rott. thats what happened to mine and i got a leak. bags are about 90 bucks a piece if i remember right and take about 5 min to change out. but if they are rotting you might be able to work new bags into the deal.

Thanks that is good info. So, from what you are saying, it sounds like you can manually set ride hight with the air, as well as it being automatic? That could be useful off road.
