The hummer only has 58k mile and this has been my only problem( i just want it fixed).

Yeah, better let them check it. When you drive on pavement with 4HI engaged and turn the wheel to lock, a tire, if not two, should 'skip' as the transfer case has locked the front and rear axle together to turn at the same speed so the outer tires will have to rotate more than the inside tires. I have an LSD in the rear, but an option is to replace it with a true locking axle to give you even more traction. Best of luck.

Yah, good luck. I had a cracked CV axle last week, cost $250 to fix, parts, labor and all to get the new one and install it. I personally don't believe in the dealership (No offense to the techs on here though cuz you guys are awesome in helping us out! It's just a job at the end of the day). With that being said, I do not trust the dealerships for crap, especially when they don't have their own Hummer's sitting out front that they drove into work with. If they had one and owned one, maybe they woudl treat us a little different. It's not about the money, its about the experience for craps sake, quit trying to rip us off!

Again, no offense intended to our techs on here like Humtech, he really helps us out with stuff whenever he can. Props to you man, you need to move to the U.S. and open up shop, we will bring our business to you.$$$

Thanks, i appreciate that. I have thought about opening shop more than once. Still on the backburner though

Another thing you need to understand about the dealer. I bring a truck in, deal with the customers concern. At that point its my job to recommend maintenance. More times than not when i hand that recomendation to the service writer they change my wording to must do instead of recommend. That in my opinion is what pisses customers off most. Just my 2c lol
