05 H2 on it's 4th trans!!!!

[MVR 155]

I would be careful about the TT Diesel from Ford.... my good friend is a fleet manager for a big commercial Plowing/Landscape/Developement company and they have had quite a few problems with the new Fords. I would definately do your research first.

Thanks for the heads up - I will definitely do my research before I make any decision....I thought I did my research with the H2....I still got a bad egg.

I Had a Tahoe with similar problems. after the 3rd trans, I insisted that they change out the OBD-II. After they did, no more problems.

Im pretty sure it was the kumho tires. Try finding a resolution with those nice guys .

You may want to test drive the f350. I went a week wanting a lifted crew cab f-250....till i rode in one. Talk about harsh!

I'm with tower on his thoughts of the situation. I have heard of so few that had ever replaced the first tranny. I feel you just got a lemon and please do not judge the rest of the H2's or GM by this one rig. There are people here who have put their rigs under allot more strain and stress still on original tranny. I have driven GM trucks and cars for 25 years or more with either me, kids, or wife driving something GM. I honestly can say have never had a ride that did not last as long as we wanted it to. My 99 Silverado has almost 190,000 miles and it is not stock from day one. It will out run most average trucks or cars. It uses about 1/2 pint of oil in a 3000 to 4000 mile oil change. I drive it hard just like I did from the day i got it. It has air kit, tuning, and other stuff to make it run great. It run 10W30 Penn and is due a tranny fluyid change as well as rear-end grease. I have not run anything but ordinary fluids and that is because I believe in running what the rig has had in it if it is 30,000 miles or more. Basicaily whatevre it was broken in running and then stayed on that fluids.

I hope it all works out good for you Buddy. I would make it till you can buy new model diesel. although just going ahead and having the diesel conversion done now and drive it for a long time if the rig is setup like you want it.

I have to a agree with Taz....been driving GM's for....let me do the math here....43-16=27....ok....27 years....and never once had a tranny issue with any of them. The only thing i've ever done to mod the power train was in my 77 GMC Jimmy and that was just headers and exhaust. All the other vehicles have been bone stock. I've never done the chip or programmer.

so its been 28 days and I just got back the rig with a brand new trans in it. Hummer corp would not aprove a new trans...dealer ordered parts and after assembly - NO REVERSE. new trans ordered and off to the races.

$2220 rent a car bill - Hummer would not take care of a dime.

look out hummer - here comes the lawyers
