It's all be said before but I think...

1. you started out all wrong here, lesson learned I hope.
2. Your repairs are the problem, not the whole engine H3 combo
3. You may have a jinxed truck since this is not a common problem.

Three heads and they haven't dropped a new engine in? I'd have to say something is defective on the block side. But I'm no expert.
As agravated as you are with this take it up a level.

WAH! ...WAH!

I'd be pissed too, however the logical solution, as mentioned, is to be calm, friendly, and supportive of the H3. Coming in here loaded and angry (remember, merlot and elcova don't mix) is not really a good way to get this problem solved faster. I bet you're going to spend a while on the Lemon Law, and reject an offer on a new H3 in bold ignorance, and just wind up out $10K and with no friends. Consider your options carefully...

Oh, please! Who wouldn't be pissed off after having their H3 in the dealer for three head jobs in one year? Every one of you would be cussing up one side and down the other on this forum.

After the first head job, GM should have given this person a new engine, a late model one that had been run in at the plant. GM knows they had head problems on the early engines. Didn't they have bunch of soft valve guides?

Skinner, you may want to rethink your Xterra decision. That has got to be one of the worst riding trucks on the planet. It found bumps you couldn't even see. I couldn't wait to get out. Plus it is a bit of a high school kid's car anyway. Also in an offroad test I read, it couldn't make it up the hill climb, while the other 4x4s could. The suspension was so stiff, there was no articulation, and it couldn't get traction.

If I were you, I would negotiate a nice new shiny H3, a 2007, with the 3.7L. Car makers always have a lot of bugs worked out by the second year. Twist their arm to give it to you at no cost.

Michael

There's a joke in here somewhere, but I'm too drunk to think of it right now...

Well, if you have any legal fees, and for the depreciation aspect. I don't think Lemon Law claims go as smooth as it seems. But I don't know. It can't be free.
