It's kind of like having sex and getting pregnant......
That's a hellova anology...but I like it!
LOL Denny, it seemed to be the best analogy at the time put in the simplest terms...we know it happens...but not always - nor to everyone!

Picked mine up today after head replacement. Was fine till I got home - about 60 highway miles. Went to a few stores and it stalled out at idle 5 times. Drove 60 miles back to dealer and left it for Monday. Good thing my loaner was still there. Any ideas?

Picked it up again today and so far so good. Dealer cleaned "Cam Sensor". We'll see. Received a call from Hummer and was offered the option of a month's payment or 7 years 100,000 miles on the engine. Took the extended warranty. Thanks for all the input on this forum.

Welll at 36,000 miles my light came on, dropped by the dealer today, they are ordering a complete head, probably be 2 weeks or so and will take them a week to change out. I thought I was past the cutoff for the head issue ........ The mechanic said he has been changing heads mostly between 28,000 and 40,000 miles lately. At least it went while under warranty.

I have an H3 with 42K miles (2006)- It is at the dealership as we speak- I had two failure codes: Power Control Module failure and Miss-Fire- The solution is they are going to replace the cylinder head- that should alleviate the issues...Seems to be an issue that Hummer nneds to address....
Chris
Add another one to the list.

Purchased the vehicle in August 2006 and until today replaced only the front brake pads and 2 tail light bulbs. I currently have over 85,000 miles, changed oil using Mobil Synthetic every 12,000 or when change indicator illuminated.
Took H3 into the shop today for engine warning light and was made aware of the head problem. Hummer and the dealer provided a loaner car and will cover 100% of the repair. Since I am 35,000 miles out of warranty I could not ask for better service than this. Note due to limited availability I did not purchase the H3 from this dealer but rather a competitor 60 miles away-another credit to my local dealer for great service and support.
