Been thu this in another post.. Don't want to bore the regulars here or be a weenie and whine... Yep thay offered to cancel the lamps and order them later when available...Of course the dealer wants $200.00 to install them plus the cost of the lamps.

Maybe lame but worth it imo. Ask them to eat the $200 for your time and trouble. You need your truck dude, winter's coming!

Yeah . I hear yah... I'm working on compensation in the form of H3 dealer items such as ..Trail seat covers.. Rubber Cargo mays etc. Allready have 5 Promo Model H3 scale trucks put aside for Xmas time.

The GMID I have Runs out 12/7/07 (Issue date 7/10/07... I hope they'll still honer it as the H3 was order 8/1/07.

Will it still be good F5....??

I have a 2006 Avalanche with the 5.3 E85 engine at 295HP. I would love to have that engine in my H3 also.

V8 is coming in late 07 or early 08 via a GM source (no I didnt just pull this out of my behind) though it may not be the 320hp version of the 5.3. The turbo 5 plan was droped for the past year now.

[H3 Builder]

You'll see this as an 2008 model from the start, If everything goes according to plan. The turbo 5 was shelved before the H3 came to market.

[H3.007]

I wonder what they would charge for trade in on the engine alone for the V8 swap?

If you have 2 RIGHT GONADS, is the retail price on one of them the same as an average persons single right gonad? Or would it cost one with 2 right gonads, both of them to get the same V8 swap?

You may be correct...

BUT

Remember the older you get the larger they get so an older guys may be worth more...

Let me guess, automatic tranny only, right? I would be curious about other changes to the drive line to compensate for the power as well, anything else you can offer up? Honestly still hoping GM sees the value in a nice turbo diesel with manual tranny, but I don't hold out too much hope.

Any word on when those window switche moves and child safety locks will hit the showrooms? My dealer still claims there is nothing in the pipeline for them, after talking to "Hummer Corporate" (what ever the hell that is).

I hope that we see the 6-speed gearbox, with an extremely low geared 1st.

Maybe they might put in a different front axle, probably stay with the same trans and t/case, probably never see a man trans with anything but a 5-cylinder.

Wonder what it would take to move the switches into the new position on the older models where they're so far back?

[f5fstop]

First of all, being TOO far back is subjective. At first, I felt they were too far back, but now after almost 20K miles, I have no problem with their location.
As for switching; it would require a complete new door panel and possible an extension for the existing wiring harness to reach the new switches.

[Hummerman 5150]

Am I reading this right? There is a V8 coming out for the H3 in January for Model year 07'. I would have figured if there was going tp be one it would be for 08'. If this is true I will need to sell my H3 and be ready for the V8. In my mond this is too good to be true.
