I can't take pics at the plant. Sence the shutdown, there's not that many here now. I don't believe we've built any Superior Blues yet.

[HUMMER H3 4 ME]

Thanks for the info, when will you guys start production again after the break?

[Jersey Guy]

do you know what this is i found it in the driveway i am assuming it came from my h3 but not sure

That's a plug. Maybe a body or frame hole plug. You have an oval hole somewhere under your truck that is very lonely without that.

If you can remember about where it was on the ground in reference to where your truck was parked maybe you can crawl under and stick it back in there.

My guess is in the rear somewhere

[Jersey Guy]

thanks PARAGON I crawled under there dam that's a soild frame but unfortunately i couldnt find a hole like that worst case scenario do I really need this

[HummerNewbie]

I would hang onto it and take it with you to the dealership. Let them find where it goes and put it back. I would have to think it is a plug that keeps water out of the interior http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_redface.gif

Check your dash panel (bulkhead/firewall). There is a GM part number on the backside, so the dealer can do a cross check with a H3 parts manual, and see where these are used and narrow the search that way (maybe more than one on the vehicle).
They also use these types of plugs in the bottom of the rear floor pan.

[HummerJim]

I got under my H3 with a trouble light (I like the neon ones because they put out less heat) and couldn't find a plug like that, although a lot of spaces are covered by frame and "stuff." Geez that's a solid frame.
I agree with the others, it looks like a floor pan plug, but it could be a lower firewall plug under your blower AC on the passenger side. PFM

[VTSTOMPER]

Jersey guy,
to me is looks like one that would come off the bottom/side of a door. Like a back door, or side door. Not sure...but it is worth a check.

1) Go to the back of the H3!
2) Open the door!
3) Look to the lower door frame - right next to the right (as your looking at the back of the truck) tail light.
3) Take the plug you found in the driveway.
4) Stick it in there.
5) Close door!
6) Laugh - because you solved the mystery!


Not sure if I am right...but I hope so! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I looked up the part number and it doesn't come up. The underbody plugs are put in from the top ( inside ) and I believe there are 3 of them and they are round. Unless this is a old part number and I'll look through the old parts lists.

[Jersey Guy]

THANK ALL OF YOU FOR HELPING LOOKS LIKE VTSTOMPER IS CLOSE I CHECKED THEY ARE BOTH IN DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE ANY MORE COULD BE I LOOKED ALL OVER CANT FIND ANYMORE

[VTSTOMPER]

Man - and I thought I solved it. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

I would check all the other door frames, and the doors themselves. If it is in the driveway it probably is from something that you have used there. Ins and outs so to speak...

[MxHonda]

Could have been dropped/stuck during production and just fell out when you washed it...?

[H3 Builder]

Look under the swing gate itself. Might be one there.

[Jersey Guy]

LOOKED UNDER THERE NOTHING THANKS FOR THE TIP I WILL KEEP LOOKING

[VTSTOMPER]

this is starting to bother ME! LOL!


If you have checked all the doors, and the inner door frames, my next guess is firewall or in the engine bay. I would not think that would be the spot...but by the way things are going it might be.

[Jersey Guy]

Just came back from the dealer i showed them the part and where the two are at the rear swing gate they said they think it is an extra piece that fell out from the factory. they think there are only two of these on the truck hmmmm i think they really didnt know thanks for all the help guys if anything new comes up please let me know

[MxHonda]

Does that mean I won??? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[f5fstop]

Keep it and wait for a rainstorm, then drive around. If your feet get wet, the dealer is mistaken.http://hometown.aol.com/f5fstop01/images/rollingonfloorlaughing.gif

[VTSTOMPER]

I totally won! Come on! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Jersey Guy]

come on people nobody won yet ill get to the bottom of this lol

[PARAGON]

If you H3 owners can't crawl around and find some likely suspects, I'll have to drive over to the dealer and wallow around under one myself. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Many times assembly workers can drop extra parts and can't find them later. If they were to slide down into a hidden area then they might not fall out until much later.

You win the special door prize of the day! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif</span>

[MxHonda]

Hummer Service just called me today and told me that my PRIZE was shipped!!!

[Jersey Guy]

Good job Mx but in the mean time im still looking

[H3 Builder]

I have good news and I have bad news. I found out another place where a plug like that is located. But it is in the drivers side rear wheel house at the back. The bad news is it's hidden by the plastic wheel liner. That would have to come out to see if it's there. I would have it checked as it's at the lower part of the body and if you would go through a lot of standing water, you could get some standing water inside the body. This hole is only on the driver side.

[Jersey Guy]

OMG thanks for the info ill see if I can get to it if not the dealer will see me very soon ill keep in touch Mx you better send that prize to H3 Builder i will confirm once I check

[Jersey Guy]

AND THE REAL WINNER IS MR.H3 BUILDER THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I NOW REALIZE HOW LUCKY I AM TO KNOW YOU GUYS THIS PROBLEM A FRIGGIN DEALER COULDNT TELL ME NOW IM PISSED HERE IS THE PROOF

Hello, Question? my dealer told me that the marker lights rattle after 65mph. This came from 2 previous complaints from other customers? Do you know of this issue, or is it a installation problem?
Also, the Official H3 Chrome Gas Cap, any available, not sure if I want a after market brand, though Cool, I prefer the Official H Cap.
Thanks, jk1165

[Jersey Guy]
