100,000 miles!!

[HummerMann]

I've had an external transmission cooler almost since this H2 was new. This is my third H2 (all bought new). I had one of the original H2s that everyone would gawk at when they first came out, and my wife had an 04 for a while. I'm probably one of the longest continuous owning H2 members on this forum. I've been through all the teething problems of the H2 and got to visit the plant several years ago in Mishawaka. Personally I like the external cooler because I tow and I've never seen the temperature exceed 150 on the gauge even towing in the mountains.

Congratulation. My black 2003 H2 has 130,000, 9 years by Oct. everything exactly same as it was Oct 2002.

O Wow... MAC..?? a ghost from the good ol days...

2004 24,000 + got it after I retired. Retired because of health, I loved working. Never drove it out of town except for Hummer runs. Live in Phoenix area, Az. I thought the oil cooler maybe a warranty problem so never changed mine.

If some one would point me to the oil cooler mod that would be great.

I would like to build a functional hood vent. Place an oil cooler under it. Build it so close to the original hood vent look, that an untrained eye will not tell it from the original hood vent. Have looked for such a thing, no luck, except big hood vents, no thanks. I'm building a plasma table and have a milling machine... and lots of time. Welding Aluminum or mild steel is not a problem. Maybe an idea will pop into my head, it does happen sometimes.


This is a current picture of my Hummer, taken yesterday, Aug 20, 2011. That's my wife, she can weld as good as I. - Home projects: link below.

My wife drives a 2011 Prius.

The main page of my site has picture of my Hummer. That little climb in the picture, I had the front locker engaged, did not spin a wheel. No bing on my truck.

My Hummer has never been in the shop! Everything still working perfect. Only things I've added inside is sun roof, factory blue tooth, original console lid replaced with one that locks, a utility shelf on dash for radios, GPS.

LOL. Never thought I'd see the day.

According to site record, my last visit was April 2005, 6+ years ago. Amazingly I am still driving the same Hummer, longest I have stayed with any auto, everything is still the same, nothing added, except I had the stock wheels and rock panel painted all black few years ago, and I still got my black double wipers.

Congrats, man!

I just cracked 100k on my way to Niagara Falls. No major issues...but I'm a preventative maintenance junkie.

BUMP...anybody else?

Since I retired, we've been doing a lot of traveling in the Hummer. Last year to Telluride, San Diego and Barret Jaackson in Scottsdale. This year three trips to our son out in Telluride, one wonderful trip to Banff, and just got home from the festival of homes in Charleston, SC. I've put more miles on my H2 in the last 14 months than in the first five years I owned it. We've already made our reservations in Booth Bay, ME and we are both really looking forward to the fall foilage tour we've always wanted to take. Besides for oil changes, the only maintenance in the last year has been new OEM Goodrich tires and new front brake pads. This is the longest I've gone without the windshield getting starred from rocks. Just turned 101,000 this month and the original air ride bags are still doing great. This is also the only vehicle I've ever owned longer than three years and I plan on keeping it as long as I can get parts for it and maybe even have them machined if I can't find them.

I'm just shy of 130K miles. Original owner of 2006 SUT since late 2005.

WOW! Its awesome to see the mileage everyone is getting. I'm trolling for my 2nd Duece. I had a stealth gray 05 and am looking for a comparable 05-06. I have been a bit hesitant to buy a higher mileage rig as you never know how the former owner took care of it. My first rig had 42K when I got it and I sold it with 52K.

Have many of you started with a higer mileage unit? Say, 60K or more?
