Default Is anyone else stockpiling parts?

Since our H2s are no longer in production, I was wondering if anyone else has started to buy replacement parts just in case....i.e. dash plastics, door panels, consoles, etc? My intent is to keep my H2 indefinitely, and have recently started searching for hard to find parts. Am I the only one?

Default Re: Is anyone else stockpiling parts?

well I just purchased my first h2.
Will definitely keep it as long as possible.

As for stocking parts, I don't know about that.
I mean I own a 96 impala ss and I can walk into the chevy dealer & find any part I want.

Your not alone. I just upgraded my factory Nav/radio unit,speakers and amp because the factory amplifier went out on me. The factory Bose system rocks. When I upgraded I ran new wiring and kept all original wiring intact. Even though I spent about $2500 on a new system, I bought another brand new Delco amplifier so I could put the original system back together in the future. So far I've stocked up on a OEM front carpet, OEM drivers side bottom leather seat cover, and air suspension compressor. If anyone knows of anything that is bound to go that we should get a back-up of list here please.

That's different though.....Chevy dealers are still in existence. HUMMER dealers are extinct. I don't want Chevy or Cadillac crossover parts on my truck.

LOL...what?

Deuces and 3s are GM. So you can, literally, walk into a 'Chevy' dealer and get the same part that came on your HUMMER. The only way you'd get a 'Chevy or Cadillac' part, as you put it, is if that part was cross-platform from the get go. They're not gonna try to sell you a strictly Escalade part for an H2...why?, because it won't fit.

Long story short...I don't see a problem in the future with getting almost ANY mechanical part for my deuce. It shares so much with the 2500, and they made a RACK of those, so we'll be good.

As for the unique parts, which I see as being mostly interior and body part, I've got a few dash pieces and a grill, my original front bumper....stuff like that; but i mainly keep them because I've modded the ones in my truck and these give me the option to roll back any of my changes fairly easily.

That's because the 96 Impala (although a favorite of mine) is still just a rebadged Chevy Caprice.

I have some parts but not many. As mentioned the drive train won't be an issue ever however the interior yes. I have my full set of stock dash pieces, most parts I have are my original pieces that I have swapped for aftermarket stuff.

I also think I have 2 sets of roof lights. I love the look of the stock roof lights and would hate to have to install a smoked or clear set....

I recently bought a lightly used complete set of dash plastics with no cracks around the screw holes. Got lucky on that set off eBay. Also picked up a brand new in the box factory console. My left ac vent has stress cracks around the two screw holes. I haven't switched it out yet because it still works just fine and the cracks are minor imo. I also kept my factory chrome grille. On a side note, I would be careful about believing that you'll always be able to find parts from a GM dealer. A few months back I tried to order a completely new fuel line set up and was told by three dealers that it was discontinued. It hasn't even been ten years since the last production and already functional parts have been discontinued. Just my 0.02

Same thing happened to me when I replaced my fuel pump. I need to check my receipts with part #s so I can let you guys know exactly what parts are being substituted for.

There's no such thing as 'true HUMMER' UCA. If you run the HUMMER part number for the upper control arm (25905442) you'll find that the UCA was a cross-model part from the get go...

http://parts.nalleygmc.com/products/.../25905442.html

...used on everything from Escalades to 3500s. You received the same part you would have received if the HUMMER brand was still around...prolly just a normal revision to an existing part. Mechanically, these trucks are not as 'like nothing else' as some would like to think.

Now, if AMG goes under, then the H1 guys are 'up sh!t creek.'

I have two entire hoods, a complete set of doors (no interior trim) and a hatch for an SUV.

I sold 4 interior trim panels for doors to a member that was in desperate need of them for 300 bucks. (I could have gotten that out of one)
