I am new to Hummers and I just got one 3 months for a graduation present from my parents. Yesterday I decided to change my oil because I needed to save some money. I'm sure you all know how much gas these things suck down. Anyway, I pulled the plug and drained out all the oil. I have one of those oil filters with the magnet on it so I didn't need to change the filter. Anyway, I went to fill the oil back up and it only took a qrt before it said full. I also found it strange that the oil I put in was a brownish color and the oil I took out was red. Anyway, I headed to a friends house last night and I start to get this grinding noise. I have no idea what it could have been. I was doing about 75 at the time so I immediately pulled over. I checked it over and saw no problems. I start down a side road and get more grinding. I do a few stop and go's to see if for some reason it was the brakes. I drove it to the Hummer dealership today for them to look at it. I hope they find the problem and get it fixed real quick. Any ideas what could have gone wrong?

If you were real, this would be a funny story! Drain the Front diff, then top off the oil. Classic!

Sounds like you drained the ATF fluid out of the Transfer case and then topped of the engine oil. Classic F/U!
Grinding is caused by burning up your transfer case with no fluid in it!:twak:

I think I know where the diff is. I did not drain the Diff. The dealer told me that they use synthetic in these things and the oil might look a little funny once I drained it. If they told me to do it and it is screwed up then I will just have to have my parents get involved.

Before you go to the dealer, make sure it's synthetic. Taste a spoonful or two. If it's not synthetic it will feel rather gritty on your teeth and will taste a little oily.

They called me back and said that it was the transmission. They said that some how the fluid leaked out. I told them that I had just changed the oil and never touched the transmission. I had my dad talk to them and he is threatening a lawsuit. That should show them.

now... did you learn anything about this mishap??? Have someone do it for you if you don't know what the hell you're emptying and filling. :excited:
Also, since you're new to this forum, make sure you don't forget to fill the horn fluid!!! Every month, that needs to be checked. Especially if you use the horn alot.
And, tell you mom and dad about it too.:grouphug:

Here's the solution to your problem. Buy a gun, have your daddy put bullets in it for you, put it to your head and pull the trigger.
Problem solved.

The dealership called me back and told me they found out what the problem was. They said the flux-capacitor was leaking plutonium and that is what was causing the grinding noise. You guys are idiots. 90% of you thought it was the differentials?!?! Have you guys ever been under any type of automobile in your life to know where the differential is? Me thinks 100% of you trot down to the local hummer dealership to complain about worn out windshield wiper blades.

Now that I think about it I think the red fluid I drained might have come from the gas tank. I guess it too could look red in the correct light. :lame:
