     Nice leather smell   Wanna buy it?  I'm going to sell it if the head needs replaced!

No why would you go and do a thing like that?  Just get the head replaced and see if you can get an extended warranty on your engine.  Even though the head on some H3s has a defect...it's still a very good vehicle.

 
Because in seeing his avatar, and reading all his posts...I think he's related to Head

Hey guys! My check engine light turned off today by itself.  It still idles a little rough though.  BTW my avatar is an H3 convertible not a Jeep.  Dennis how do I PM you?  Sorry I love Hummers and I love Jeeps.  And that convertible Hummer is pretty cool.  I tried to add a bigger picture of the convertible H3 but my dumb computer.... I dont know how to do it the right way either I guess

Jeep, I have heard of this happening.  I know someone who is currently waiting for the parts to come in..her light flashed on and then went off and hasn't been on again (she is driving it nearly a month now as she waits for parts)

This is 3rd time engine light is back on.  I'm told I have to have head replaced that a cylynder isn't working.  If this is the case, wouldn't I notice a big loss in power?

You wouldn't notice a BIG loss in power from just one cylinder losing compression.  You will notice some power loss though.  I'd suggest you take it to the dealer if you haven't already.

Some loss of power..depends on how bad the valve is leaking ...
 
To reitierate the problem that we are faced with:
 
It is bad or wrong design Valve Seats...that causes loss of compression and misfiring.
 
As the fix ..GM is replacing the WHOLE HEAD.

I don't know anything about cars.  They said they have to take head off tranfer rockers?, cams, adjusters and bunch of things to the new head.  Are these parts of a new head?  Im lost lol.  Nevermind, it would be a waste of time, I know nothing.  I'm not worried, the guys at this dealer are great.  It may even run better than it ever has eh?

How many miles did you have on your Hummer when you started having this problem?

It was just after 2000 miles but I think its been idling rough for like 500 miles.  I thought maybe was the cold weather.

Yes I'm sure they will tranfer those upper components, along with the Injectors and sparkplugs

Do you know what the date of manufacture is for your Hummer?

02/06

On the top corner of the label inside your driver's side door jamb is the month and year of manufacture.  Double check it and let me know...I'm trying to keep track.

Even worse.  02/06. 

I wouldn't put anything past a salesperson.  Make sure you get it fixed and call about getting an extended warranty.  My H3 was made in Jan of 2006 and I purchased it in March which is about right.  It usually takes anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks for Hummers to get to the dealers from the plant.  You canfigure that your Hummer has been at the dealership since April (probably).

    I'm not worried about an extended warranty.  I just want it fixed right. I will trade it in for a 07 or 8.  I was told they will not have 0% for 07s, I find that hard to beleive.

would it not make sence to have a catagory for people with no problems? ... with a VIN number below the realization of this GM design probelm with heads... or am I out to lunch, does it not make sence to have a understanding of the % of vehicles HUMMER h3 with this HEAD PROBLEM problem?

It wouldn't make sence, but it might make sense.  It might make sense if I could make sense of what exactly you are asking. 
 
If we had a category for people with no problems then I imagine the post would have close to 2,000 replies assuming everyone responded.  Since the number of head problems precentage wise are far fewer than the number of people without head problems it's easier to post who in fact has the problem.
 

I don't make sence half the time but...  I think he is out to lunch.  Make sence?

"big deel a mis speled word", you got the mesage and point! stop nerding it up and bullshiting up the site with comintary. or I will run you over with my 46" boggers

Only joking with ya.  I thought I was the worst speller in the world until you came around.  You have a head issue? 

"A" misspelled word why don't you go grab a dictionary and look up all of your "Mis speled" words.  I'll even list them for you:

Sence
deel
mis speled
mesage
comintary
catagory
probelm

Now here's a percentage for you......roughly 8.5%.  That's the approximate percentage of words you misspelled in your last two posts.

If you couldn't understand my post...if I was "nerding it up" then perhaps you should put mommy's laptop down and go to bed.

I'm siding with Rutdogg on this one.  Occasional spelling errors or obvious typos are one thing, but when an entire post is rife with incredibly bad spelling, it's another.  Not everyone needs to be Merriam Webster, but try to take a little effort and pride.  As wrong as you may feel it is edmonton ab, you will get more respect by showing others that you value yourself and others by taking the effort to proof read and edit your posts.  While it's generally pretty informal around here, we can all stand to benefit from improving our communications skills, writing being one of them.
 
That being said, I'm a little anal about it sometimes, so I offer the following:
 
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin not sea.
 
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight for it two say
Weather eye am wrong or write
It shows me strait a weigh.
 
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
 
Eye have run this poem through it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
