H3max: ive never put down the rear trunk window

Don't do it! I put mine down and not only did my steering wheel fall off, all of my windows fell down into the doors and my brakes stopped working.

Ahhhhh well I can understand the need for speed! I do think the head replacement more than once is a rarity tho..especially if replaced with the new improved head. I guess I just don't consider it much of a hassle (YET) because my dealer is 15 mins down the road, they will pickup and drop off for me, I get a cool loaner ride - last time they gave me a big ole boat of a caddy (07 DTS) that would HAULASS!! And, I now have an extended warranty that will outlast my ownership undoubtedly. Ask me a year or so down the road when I no longer live here and have a dealer so close by and I may sing a different tune!

No Problems To Date.......My H3 has 8,000 miles and it will be one year since i got it .....in March.....I have had it for almost one year.

My mechanic at the dealership wanted to know if I had electrical problems or engine problems, this was an unusual question i thought, that is until i started to read the forum.

Add me to the list. A check engine light came up last week and I just got the bad news from the dealer this morning. He said that it would be at least two weeks before he had a new head available for the car. He already has six in line ahead of me. The truck has a little over 5K on it and up until this point we really like it.

Don't get discouraged. The H3 is a wonderful vehicle. From what I have read, most people haven't had any other major engine issues once the head was replaced. Make sure you get GM to extend your warranty out too.

Interesting

...I think if memory serves me right, there is a word or two mentioned about the Head/Vlave issue somewhere here...

well, you are getting up there in age, so you probably can't trust your memory all that much anymore. but even you wouldn't wash your h3 every other day. i smell the ban stick coming out of the closet again . . .

What is a ban stick? Why do you keep it in the closet? Why do people sniff the stick? Does it smell good or bad? P.S. Nothing wrong with washing my hummer every few days. I keep the pollen and love bugs off it. They eat through the paint. peace
