You are right about the H3s doing well tho. They walked everything with ease all week. But something needs to be done to strenghten the drivetrain.

I know I"m late to this conversation today, but the drive and all....

I was really digging the 3's until that happened. The 2's weak link is the tie rod and easily fixed on the trail. But if the 3's weak point is the drivetrain, then that's a major problem GM must address. That'll also keep us from buying one for wheeling.
That's too bad, because the 3's crawl like crazy. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Is there a reasonable fix for the drivetrain issue? What caused the diff teeth to break? Can it be fixed with just stronger diffs?
I agree that "2's weak link is the tie rod and easily fixed on the trail," but I'd go one step further and say that the weak link can be preventatively repaired for about $300 parts and labor with the FT rods, and it would be much rarer to have them fail (although you or CP – can’t recall who - managed to be the first and only person on the planet to bend one). To me, doing serious wheeling in an H2 with stock tie rods is like taking out an expensive boat when you know you have a repairable hole in the hull. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

But, with the FT tierods...does that put the CV more at risk?
