Hello,

My name is Jeff and I just picked up my H3 over the weekend. Got a great deal with all the 0% and discounts I got. I love it so far. Only complaint is man she is slow. lol I am ordering a K&N kit for it and I have my buddy checking to see if SCT makes a flasher for it.

WELCOME to our Forum!

A word of advice though. We have had some members here experiencing major mileage loss and we aren't sure why. Make sure you break your H3 in the way the manual states before you put any Mods on it. You don't want to be getting 10 mpg like a couple of our members do!

Wow what is causing that? I usually brake my new cars in for the first 1000 miles or so. Just driving normal and trying not to go high in the rpms. What have they been doing? thanks for the tip tho.

I don't think they have been doing anything wrong really. As far as we can guess, they just may need their ECU flashed again, but don't let it scare you off :) You should be fine. Just don't go pulling any trailors or drive it hard for the break-in period stated in the manual. Follow the instructions :)

Thanks for all the welcomes! this seems like a good site so far. Any of you live in Florida going to the off road thing in the Ocala forest in October?

That's cool, around here I get maybe 1/2 of the people to wave. Mostly soccer moms don't know the HUMMER Code.

Hey Everyone-

Just bought my 06 H3 last Saturday.....should have been in today, guess it will take another week

At least the dealer gave me a H3 loaner to drive till mine comes in! I am ready! I find myself taking the long way home, and hitting every pothole and railroad track I can. I am a happy girl!
