Bad Dawg is off the scale
Default

Was out with the Dealer outing this last Saturday and was climbing a nice hill and sure enough the front end started bouncing (it seems to bounce more that the unlifted stock ones?)as my wife was slowly moving to the top. The spotter stopped us and said the driver side had bent. Edmark Hummer is the dealer and they are great. The service manager was with our group again and he ran all the way back in to the dealer and got another tie rod and came back and replaced the busted one.
My question is that we are close to getting rid of the H2 if we can't feel like we can go out and do some mild playing without feeling safe in doing so. We are looking for some heavy duty tie rods to try first. Does any one know if the 1-ton GMC tie rods fit? If they do, are they bigger? I own a 2001 1-ton but didn't get a chance to go look at it at home yet. I know others on here have gone with after market tie rods, but I can't find a name anywhere for the name of the brands out there. Help.

The HD2500 and 3500 use same tierods.
I know a guy who makes SS sleeves that go over the rods to increase strength.
PM me and I'll find his info.

HummerLV - I saw pictures of the Fly-N-Hi ones. They are bigger but aluminum. Have you had any experiance with them?

Duramax Tim - SS sleeve huh? I'll send you an e-mail. By the way, interesting that we have similar rigs. We have a 2001 Chevy D/A CC SLT LB too. Don't you post on the "Diesel Page" too?

BD...
RubberDuck is now making a heavy duty tie-rod for the H2. Although I have not had a chance to try them out personally, he is well known in the H1/H2 arena for custom offraoding parts. Many of us have his undercarriage protection.

Shannon - Rubber Duck's site doesn't open. Can't see their stuff. I've looked at your rig and their site in the past. Seems like nice stuff

kdio - $710 And $100 to unscrew the old ones off and screw theirs on. Man I hate it when folks charge so much more just because it's for an H2. I guess they think H2 owners got what we have by being dumb and spending money like we haven't earned it.
