Re: got my check engine light this morning in traffic
My head cacked at about 19k miles. I am over in Gmbh and can't get to my vin # right now but I know my Hummie rolled off the line in Sept 05', so it was one of the first, and like I said in another post my Hummer Dealer has seen a lot of the first ones with these "weak" heads and customers cracking them because of either towing, or high stress on the engine. He took 4 days to do mine, but I also had him do the 20k service and fix a rattle in the rear passenger door. I know he also replaced some other parts on the engine, but can't recall what they where.
When I get back to the states will get my paperwork and see what else he replaced, but all I know is my mpg almost doubled after I got it back.

I would love to see the last eight of the VIN. Reason: Dealer is full of poopie, I did some checking today, and there are only two cases of cracked heads. Damaaged heads due to abnormal wear of the valve guides is very common on early heads, but cracked....dealer BS. (Not you, dealer. You are only repeating what a dumb a&& dealer is telling customers; thinking it makes them feel better.)
