I'd take the 03 because it is the latest updated of the "old" H1. With the 04 you have the new quieter interior, thats great but consider it takes 3 hours to remove the doghouse to service the rear of the engine. I can take my doghouse and engine cover off in 30 minutes.

The optimizer engine is a great engine, but it has its own computer I doubt anybody can even pull the codes out of that engine unless they are a HUMMER dealer. I like to be able to send my truck wherever, if I'm on a road trip and have a problem I would hate to have to rely solely on the dealer.

Lastly, I know how to work on the pre 04 trucks. For me thats a deal breaker.

SSG,,,,THANKS AGAIN FOR THIS REPLY,,
SOME GOOD SOUND AND SOLID ADVICE. I NEVER WOULD HAVE EVEN THOUGHT OF. WELL WORTH TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION FOR ME.
ONLY FOLKS THAT ALLREADY OWN AN H1 KNOW THESE PARTICULAR
INS AND OUTS. ONCE AGAIN THANKS FOR YOUR SECOND REPLY. AND I WILL MAKE THAT OFFER. LETS SEE WHAT 67 DOES TO SHAKE HIS TREE.
