A WARM HELLO!

This is to all my fellow Hummer enthusiasts. I am finally the proud owner of my H2 Dream Vehicle. Since the military has allowed for the Humvee to be deregulated and manufactured for public use. I have always dreamed of owning one. And now after a few years, I am finally financially secure enough to afford a pre-owned H2. A few years ago, I saw the original Humvee with all the trimmings and was immediatly captivated! I've owned other trucks such as the Ford Explorer and Chevy Tahoe and Jeep Liberty. All along just hoping for that special moment for my Hummer. The color is a orange/red. Currently I am accessorising it with all the trimmings thanks to Ebay. I am even adding the breather snorkel to make it appear as that original Humvee I saw a few years ago. I truly enjoy that "Safari" style look. When I am finished, I will post a photo for your enjoyment. If there are any Hummer enthusiast gatherings in the New York City area, I would like to know about it. Or perhaps one can be arranged for the upcoming spring or summer. A family picnic or a meeting just to talk about the Hummers! It feels really great being part of the Hummer family! 

Welcome to the site

Instead of talking about the hummer, You should wheel it instead lol

There is a recently formed Hummer Club in New York. Check the events section of the site. Also, congrats on the Hummer and welcome to the forum.

Can someone tell me why is it that this site indicates 4 recalls for my vehicle and in the "gmmylink" website indicates only one recall? 

I couldn't tell you, but a warm Hello to you as well.  Hopefully you can last a week with me

and a warm Hello to you ........

Hello, and welcome to the forums!! 
Have fun with your rig!

Howdy!!

Welcome to the club, you want to either want to pm or email Sgt940, he's the president of the NYHC.  He's out in Lynbrook, NY but he has 2 succesful meetings and is trying to get more people in that area to meet up. As for the recalls no idea.

Welcome to  the HUMMER family.
 
I would love to see  the  truck...  As Trey mentioned I had two events to make a NYHC {NEW YORK HUMMER
CLUB}..   Let me know where in NY you are located..  Even though its winter  another "gathering " would be nice...
 
I am trying to incorporate  HUMMER events with other GM HUMMER concepts ...  HUMMER for hunger...:
 
Are you going to off road your truck.... Maybe we can  meet  and  drive  to  Trey one day...?

welcome.  and just my 2 cents, you can ignore me like everyone else does, but putting a snorkel on an H2 is like putting lipstick on a pig.  there's absolutely no point.  you're just asking to be harassed.  the H2 can't ford more than about 24" of water, and the intake is about 45" above the ground, so a snorkel is just a waste of money.  but, it's your money and your truck, so if that is what rows your boat - enjoy.  enjoy the forum . . . . .

I don't ignore you, unless you'd like me to

you're so sweet . . . . . .

Warm welcome.  Since you did not provide us the year of your used H2, I would be unable to answer your question regarding recalls and My GMLink data.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Thanks HummerGuy for the backup.    WTH?               Search before posting!!!!     

wait why cant the h2 ford more than 24 inches if it has a snorkel?

electronics.  if it was just the intake that was at issue, the H2 could ford almost 4' of water, since the intake is at the top of the passenger side fender.  as long as you keep moving and don't stop, you can ford deeper water for a relatively short distance, but the longer you keep it in water above 2' the greater chance you have of damage - and i'm not talking about wet carpet.
 

lol sorry if I sounded like an idiot, But what if you use electrical grease and other waterproofing things and is there anyway to water proof the cabin?

there may be a way to seal the electronics, but then you have to worry about the tranny breather tube.  it's hard to say if the cabin can be completely waterproofed.  I've been through water above the bottom of the doors and had no leakage, but i never stopped in the water. i just don't know that there's any way to actually make the H2 as water worthy as an H1, hell even an H3 has a better fording depth than an H2.

Is that your rig, And does an h3 really have more fording capabilities?

yes, that's my rig.  i don't post pics of other people's vehicles unless they happen to be in the background.  i think the H3 has a 26" fording depth, but i'm not positive.

looks good, and it says the h3 can only do 24 inches at 5 mph and and 18 at 20
