Well, I have a v6 Mustang which is pretty underpowered and they made a noticable difference. I am just about sick and tired of how underpowered this h3 is. It's very disappointing. The longer I drive it the more I hate it.

It's too bad you're so unhappy with the power in the 2006. When we were looking, we drove the 2006, and it was not peppy certainly, but seemed adequate. I like power myself, but thought I would be able to live with the power as this was not going to be a speed demon. When our plans changed, and we went for the 2007, we noticed a marked difference in power. Still not lots, but very noticible. It's no fun to get into a vehicle you are not happy with though. Talk to your dealer about it, maybe a trade can get you what you want, or ask to test drive another H3 and make sure nothing is wrong with yours. Some other H3 owners here complaining of power issues found there was a problem withthe vehicle after all, and it was repaired.

Strange. Maybe something is wrong with your H3. It seems like you know a lot about cars so I would think you knew what you were getting. I'm not being rude but your not supposed to weave in and out of traffic going as fast as you can in a Hummer. My 06 seems to move pretty good compared to a lot of cars on the road. Both my Jeeps a V8 and 4L V6 had more power but not enough to worry about when your driving a H3. The H3 ALPHA is going to be completely awesome. Sometimes people pass me as fast as they can only to stop at a traffic light while I coast by them when the light turns green. Hate is a pretty strong word.

Wrong place to complain I'm sure. I'm not trying to 'weave in and out of traffic' but we live in an area with some hills and if I try to pass anyone, the stupid automatic has to drop 2 gears just to speed up. The dealer is 5 hours away and I had a TERRIBLE experience with them (which probably started off my negative feelings) and so I am not going to the dealer. I'm thinking part of the problem is the automatic. It's the first auto I've owned myself. I figured it would be fine because as said before, this is not the type of vehicle to hot rod.
I'm deciding this week whether to trade it off (on what I don't know) which is going to hurt because of the first year depreciation. I expected to want to keep it forever!
I can't believe the dirty looks I get driving this. There are much more expensive vehicles on the road but I guess people around here think I have money and don't like it or something. It's crazy.

I installed these on my '95 Camaro. I was hoping they would make them for the H3, or at least a light-wieght counter-balance. These are things most Camaro/Mustang owners who supe up their cars have.

We have a 1976 Bronco, and when I needed a 4 door, I decided I wanted a 4 door, new version of the Bronco. This seemed along the same lines... only difference... the Bronco came with a 302. What happened to the good old days? It wasn't like anyone was trying to 'hot rod' those.

You might want to contact the guys at the URL listed above.
At one time, "Rumor Control" had it that they were working on a set for the H3/Colorado/Canyon.
I do know they make a quality product and are well thought of in the racing community.
Whether or not they got enough interest to actually tool up and make the UDPS...Who knows.
Might be worth the cost of a phone call.
