OK let me rephrase.

"I wish I had waited till there was a proven track record for the H3."

I'm thinking call me crazy but if there's 5 in my dealership in two weeks. There might be a problem.

I don't like the idea of my engine basicly being rebuilt after only 12000 miles.

Would you?

Hopefully they will nail down the problem and put out a fix so others will not have to go through this.

I only posted to see if others are having problems.

Besides I like em Fiesty.

Here's what to do:

1) Delete your history of visited websites.
2) Delete your cookies.
3) Delete all temporary internet files.
4) Turn off your computer.

By the time it boots back up you'll probably forget you were ever here.

And, by the way, I think the troll comments were probably right on track.

I think of all people to slam, Fstop would not be one of them. he's one of the nicest people on here, and if someone comes in with a problem he does his best to help people out, if it's explaining how a part works or to say which part to have looked at. And if he messes up some how he says he's sorry rather than just make up some lame ass excuse. So get off his nuts.

I started to laugh when you posted this as i agree as well - however - if you think about it, you must give the origional H2 drivers alot of respect due to the fact of HOW MUCH $HIT they had to put up with. I mean; media, friends, know it alls, tree huggers and not to mention vandalism!

Those guys over the past years have really had to grow some thick skin to have the bawls to continue to post in a public area. So its no surprise to see them be a little jumpy. Look at what they have been through....

Also, look at the H3s. We are getting off easy. I mean we werent sure if we would catch hell; but honsetly I feel as if the H3 has changed alot of minds from Hummer Haters to Maybe a Future Hummer Driver....

Interesting that these head problems are showing up on H3's with higher mileage (over 10, 20, 30K miles). I thought the relatively rare problem would show up earlier.

I was at the dealer today and the service writer was explaining to a customer the problem and need for head replacement. Not good, but at least that was under warranty.

If that's true, then contact Hummer and demand they upgrade your warranty to 100K miles.

WOW this thread started in Dec of 05 ..........................................

As you know I have 2 06 H-3's...
1 with less then 11000 miles and the other with around 37000...
purchase both in Jan 06....always serviced by HUMMER...made copies of important postings on this thread (VIN # posting & Colorado Engine letter)

My question is has anyone gotten an Extented Warrenty of ANY KIND without actually having the specified VIN # head replaced ? Its a question mainly effecting my COLLECTORS EDITION YELLOW one which I may break 50000 miles before Jan, 2010...

Also has anyone received any new info about this problem...?

Please let me know........

2006 H3 bought in Shreveport Aug 05. Turn over 55000 in Dec 08. I had a check engine light come on ,onstar said emissions, never ran bad. Took it to dealer, they replaced the head, it was out of waranty but they covered all cost plus four day loaner car (09 CTS). They said #2 cyl had leaking valve.
Seems to run alot better, feels like a few more horsepower, noticed this traveling down i-20 going up hills.

Crop ,What did they write up on the warranty ?
I figured if the head goes after 50,000 I will be out of warranty.

Im at 49,800 now warranty is up in about a week ,Runs as good as the day I picked it up.


I get a funny feeling at 50,001 my light will pop on
