Re: Do You Really Need The Extended Warrn'ty??
I will be getting one before my stock one expires.
Warranty story:
A few years ago I bought a new HD. (financed)
The salesman asked me if I wanted to buy an extended warranty. Of course, I said no.
He then told me that they had a reduced interest rate if you purchased even one years worth of extra warranty. (arount $700.00)
I was amazed when they recalculated everything my monthly payment was about $5.00 less then it was without the warranty.
I have used it one time to the extent of about $1,600.00.
In this case, it has paid for itself.
Tread lightly.

Re: Do You Really Need The Extended Warrn'ty??
Bought mine, and with so may little things (Nav, Air Suspension etc..) GMPP with $0 deductible was a no brainer for me. Towing alone could cost a pretty penny.

Re: Do You Really Need The Extended Warrn'ty??
Well I pulled the trigger this week and spent $1550 on a 4 year 40,000 mile Zero ded. extended GMPP.
I received a good price and great service/info from Allen Black @ www.gmoutlet.com.
Being horribly cheap, I hated to spend the money but the feeling in my gut tells me it was the right thing to do.
Thanks for all your feedback folks, I appreciate it.

Re: Do You Really Need The Extended Warrn'ty??
only problem is the $500-$750 "Hummer" surcharge as stated on the purchase form.

Re: Do You Really Need The Extended Warrn'ty??
In retrospect- even if you're not using the warranty you're still getting the benefit of coverage; piece of mind.
I just exercised three demons from my H2 this past week- air suspension was fixed by the dealer (out of warranty, my dime) and I replaced the water pump Saturday afternoon and did the silicone fix on the rattling windshield trim.
The water pump was quoted at $667.00, I bought a replacement for $99.00 and replaced the belt while I was at it. The shop labor rate was 2.5 hours, I did it in just under 4. Excellent weather and a good conversation about bar-be-que with one of the American Royal Judges (neighbor) left me enjoying the day and project with no reason to rush.

Re: Do You Really Need The Extended Warrn'ty??
Got the one that DDWH linked to. Very good deal.
I got one because I have an 03, which has a lot of quirks. I had most of mine repaired under warranty, but there are a lot of parts that are acting up now (like the power mirrors and seats - this is not a Hummer issue, but a GM issue). And while some are easy to live with, others are not.
Like the PP said, it's a crapshoot. But Hummer parts aren't cheap. If you're planning on keeping your truck for at least 2 more years, I'd go for it.

Re: Do You Really Need The Extended Warrn'ty??
Get it!, H2's are expensive to maintain. My extended warranty has already paid for itself. Cost of warranty $2700-----Mirror replacement $1000, front diff replacement $1700, oil line replacement $200, soon to be air pump replacement with bags (God only knows? $1500-$2500?), piece of mind----priceless.

Re: Do You Really Need The Extended Warrn'ty??
I have used one through my bank called Members Choice. It is awesome. I have had it on both of my H2's and a few other cars. It runs until 90k and has a $100 deductible. The platinum (top) one covers almost everything, including the side mirrors on my last H2. My Hummer dealer said they are one of the easiest that they have worked with. I paid $1800ish for my last one for my current H2 SUT
