Point me in the right direction?

Piet -> Point me in the right direction? (3/10/2008 6:28:03 PM)
Can someone point me in the right direction? I am looking at H1's. Where is a good FAQ with the Hummer basics? Where is a good price point? Known trouble spots etc... Many Thanks -Peter

The websites are excellent. http://flashoffroad.com/index.html http://www.lynchhummer.com/

That is a big question. Try to narrow it down to a few years worth of Hummers and we can help you a lot more. The websites above are good but can't substitute for talking with owners on their experiences

are you going to wheel it alot, a little, or just drive around the mall looking cool? Will it be a daily driver or just occaisionally driven vehicle/weekend toy? What is your budget? Are you willing to work on it yourself (this will save you alot of $$ in the long run) or will you need one with a warranty of some kind? Like 3 hummers suggested, before buying anything I'd find a few local owners and start picking their brains/riding in their trucks to make sure you like it -- hummers are not for everyone (don't get me wrong, I love driving my hummer, but a caddy it's not!). this video will make you want one more (just don't believe the easy parking thing -- it's bs): http://youtube.com/watch?v=Yf9FPs40VUM rb

I am looking at 1994's-1999's H1 Wagons I can perform many maitenance items. Project vehicles I have owned: 1951 GMC 1/2 ton where I put on a 1977 Camaro front end clip, 283 Cid, 12 volt, tilt steering, PB, etc.. 1973 Camaro I currently own (but am looking at selling) 1978 Silver Anniversary Corvette 1994 Jeep YJ My Family hauler is a 2001 Ford E-350 12 passenger with a 7.3 l turbo diesel. I have totally fallen in love with the diesel, I love the 4x4 of the jeep, and the sexyiness of the Corvette. So I am looking at a second vehicle for, recreational usage, sometimes drive to work (but I mostly bicycle), general 2nd vehicle type stuff. I have never even driven in one... (Not that many owners in Edmonton Alberta...) but I am very interested. NOT interested in H2's or H3's. I am wondering... 1) do the wagon hard tops come off? 2) any after market items to help fuel economy? (Banks power?) 3) How usable are the jump seats? (for 8 passenger seating?)

There are some serious aftermarket items for the 6.2l, 6.5l, and of course the 6.6l.... http://www.heathdiesel.com/ 800hp can be yours in a weekend....

find a truck that is not running and put a duramax in it

The wagons do not have removable tops. The jump seats are somewhat usable by small children. Lots of aftermarket accessories.
