What needs the most improvement on your H2?

[Drag]

OK, Uniblack. If you do indeed work for GM, then perhaps you could confirm or deny the following;

The last week to order Sage Green or Sunset Orange on an H2 will be 11/3/03. These colors are to be discontinued.

The Lux series will from now on INCLUDE the third row seat as part of the package, and also tail lamp protection will be included in the Lux.

Got any answers for those?

Oh, and p.s., when does the licorice dispenser become a free flow option? I've heard 05.

not just the wind noise, but actually causing vibration and queaking noise.

Give us the full 345 hp like the Escalade 6 litter. Better yet, give us 400 hp and displacement-on-demand.

I have done about 28000 miles now - no complaints really - until I read about the key banging on the dash - I had not even noticed that until yesterday - it is now driving me nuts - thanks fellas.

That thread contains bogus info.

The motors in the Caddy and H2 are itentical in bore and stroke. The intake and for the most part the exhaust are the same. The Caddy has a higher compression ratio and a more aggressive cam profile than the H2 motor. I'm sorry but in my experiance, PCM programming will not give you big HP gains. What it will do is maximize your HP when you make drastic changes to your combination. I am talking about custom programming and not Hypertech. I program chips for C4 Corvettes. The things you tweak are timing advance and you lean out the top end. GM set the wide open throttle settings rich because rich is safe (less chance for detonation). There are some other tricks too. If you increase the compression ratio it will be more prone to detonation and you need to run a higher octane fuel. Same goes for increased ignition timing.

I think the real reason the H2 does not have more power than the Escalade is becasue the Escalse is the flagship SUV from GM. Not the Hummer....sorry. Remember the Escalade slogan? Most powerful SUV on the planet? Of course the Cayanne I think wins that if you consider it an SUV.

Get the Nav system right.

Simply use the same setup as the Caddy Escalade - Nav WITH 6-CD changer where the OnStar currently is. Move the OnStar to the rear view mirror.

How hard can that be?

Unbelievable that it takes owners to tell you (GM) the obvious flaws. How you could ever have thought that the 04 Nav setup was complete/good is beyond me.

Get it right in '05 should be your slogan.

Paragon says it well, just more attention to detail.
I will add:

headliner needs more support.
center storage lid should flip open towards the back and it needs padding.
cup holders need work, can never get that cup out easily. I actually cut slots in the rubber.
