Every dealership hides behind that I tink its bull****!

Transfer Case Update; End of week 2 (begining week 3)

Today they told me that an H1 had been on the transmission lift all week and was due to be completed today. They only have one lift for the Hummers and my turn is next.. Hope this transmission thing is not an epidemic or there will be a lot of waiting.
Well maybe next week, I'll get my Hummer back.

You have more patience than I do.

Lift Kit wouldn't void transfer case warranty in itself, but the 38 15.5 tires due increase the resistance. However, they are fixing everything without any problem !!!

How would lifting it void the warranty? That does not make any sense to me. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Well about a month ago my H2 started making a clunking noise when shifting from lo to high. Then one time it hung in between lo and high out in the woods. I was able to rock the truck (pure muscle) and the transfer case went back into gear. This time the transfer hung in my driveway and had to be towed in. When it got to the dealer it had slipped back in gear. First they told me it was a motor that had gone bad and they ordered the motor. Yesterday when I called, the service writer said he wasn't sure what the Tech was telling him, except they were going to have to replace the transfer case!!!!

Of course he hinted that the lift kit could void the warranty. I think they use that excuse anytime they want to get out of paying for something. Not sure of anything else yet, I will go by there today and get more details.. besides having the lift kit I rarely go off road, maybe 6 time in 12 months.

Dan, our truck rearends weigh so much and the only thing holding them up are the shocks.

So u have to restrain them or I wouldn't want to be under one it it dropped.

I believe some kind of mechanic error.

dr, I would drive 100 miles NOT to EVER go to that dealership again. Won't surprise me one bit if they'll call & said, "oops, very sorry, but the battery short-circuited and your H2 was burned to the ground" -- one of these days...

That's rather odd. I know the air bag issue has been discussed here before but I have yet to have a problem. If the truck is OFF and the key is OFF then the air suspension would be OFF also, correct? Or are some of you saying that the air suspension will come on while the vehicle is NOT running? Seems strange.

My truck has been lifted many times and only the first time did a question arise. The dealership told them to turn the truck off before lifting. No problems.

I would think that a dealership/tech would know about the air suspension. Very odd, very odd.

P.S. pinched brake line when air bags went. Had to overnight new brake line. Maybe today I'll get my truck back.

Actually, any door open will keep the rig from trying to level itself.

I'm sure the air bags run when the car is on and the doors shut.


<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by HummMe:
Actually air bags will stay on after the truck is off to keep it level(if there is a slow leak). And the issue on a lift is that while the truck is raised the height sensor sees the truck being at max height so it releases the air from the bags trying to lower the ride height. So when you let the truck all the way down off the lift, with no air in the bags, there is always the possibility of damaging the air bags. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

None-the-less, the wait and the reason for it was horrible.
