Anyone have an 09..

[HUMMERcustoms.com/TAZ]

My 05 has 4 GM OEM captain chairs already. Have had them for over a year.
It is real nice and looks cool. I have a center console in second row and it along with front console and other trim pieces are painted with a blackish color from Porsche that will be used in the 3rd paint job to give the ext. and int. even more in common.

any pics of your 05 interior? Just wandering what it looks like.

HUMMERICH23 has my twin! I just bought a solar flare metallic 08' H2 the day after Christmas. I love it......!!! More power and the seats heat up much quicker than my old 05'....helps in this cold weather!
I do have one question......for anyone with an 08'. If you turn everything off or down in your truck...when you hit the brakes....do you here a motor run with a slight high pitch noise? Mine does it every other time I hit the brakes....just curious if this is normal?

I have an 08, purchased in Sept 08, and no it does not make that noise.

I have a 07 and a 08........I know EXACTLY what your talking about when you turn everything off and hit the brake pedal, mine does the same exact thing. My 08 is Solar Flare as well, my 07 is Yellow.

I have a question for you......when you turn your blinkers, or 4 way flashers on, does your back marker light flash? (the little light thats above you gas cap on the sides of the rear below the back window)

My 07 those lights flash, when I turn my blinkers on, and 4-ways on.

Also, I am curious, since you had a 05........have you gotten use to this new 6 speed tranny shifting so much? I thought it was something wrong with mine, I took it to the dealer a few times and told them this thing is scared of a hill, before it gets to the hill its already downshifting. So what I did is, I borrowed another 08 H2 from the dealer and drove it all day long, going up and down hills, and its does just like mine, so I guess its normal. Just seems like the old 6.0 liter is stronger below 2,500rpms than the new 6.2 liter. Once you get the 6.2 liter past 2,500rpms, its like a sports car, just wish it had more low end torque.

Yeah mine does the same thing. I have noticed that noise from day one when applying the brake and figured it was normal but makes me wonder if something is wrong. At night time once in a while you can notice the headlights or interior lights dim slightly when it makes that noise so i have no idea what it is. Man since its been like 0 degrees up here in NE Ohio, my dam dash rattles and creeks like no other, had to put friction tape inbetween the brush aluminum panals on the inside part of driver's side door and the brush aluminum air conditioning vent to stop some of it. But still love the 6.2!

[HUMMERICH23]

Yeah my transmission does the same too. It gets kind of annoying when you have to push the accelerator down pretty hard to get over a hill. However my tune helped out tremendously and have all the power i need to blast over a steep incline. I do know there are more recent TCM programmings that update shift points and make the 6 speed sooo much better. I am a frequent over at the denalitrucks.com board and they pretty much have the same 6-speed and issues and there was a service bulletin that updated the programming in the TCM and users have raved about how much better the 6-speed acts. I have not brought this up to the dealer yet because with my tune it hasn?t been such an issue but i think all you have to do is mention sluggish acceleration and delayed downshifting or holding the passing gear and not shifting in the overdrive gear.

will have to post pics later. putting things back together after audio/video upgrades. seats are in but, working to get custom carpet made. harder to find someone as the 2nd row floor is custom raised just a bit to get theater seating type look.

Yeah drove the 09 over the weekend...wow...the 6.2 is awesome! Also the new silver metallic color is sweet.

[Planohummer]

Trans issue/low end torque gets tremendously better if you use super unleaded.
Noise just after hitting brakes is normal, brake booster recharging(no more hydro-boost, now it's electrical)

[KorkedBatz]

Any pros/cons of the air susp.?

[HUMMERICH23]

Yeah i only put 93 in and i have a rocket box.
Ill have to look up my VIN and let you know.
Hopefully it sounds like the noise is supposed to be there i guess.
I have also noticed actuall grinding in my brakes with moderate pressure and right before the truck stops its makes the grinding/friction noise. I have all ready had the front pads replaced and the rotors resurfaced at 12,000 because of that grinding noise but at 13000 miles right now that noise is back. Anyone else get rubbing/grinding noise with moderate braking right before the truck stops?
