Hey, I get honorable mention.

Sorry HummBebe. I personally don't know anything about the other forum. I'm just going by what people tell me that do. Don't take it personal, because it's not

I just want to make sure everybody gets along because we are very mature and friendly people here. I hope you stay and get to know us.

Anyway, did you get any response from them yet? When did you send that?

$90???? Crud... I'd fork up $90 for the piece of mind even if the factory wouldn't cover it. I don't do a lot of wheelin compared to highway and street mileage but I do go off road and I better not break a frikkin transfer case cause it was cast aluminum and failed whereas a cast iron one would not fail.

I promise you if you get stranded deep in the bush or rocks, it's gonna be a lot more than $90 to get your poor arse out and repaired.

Can anyone tell me where the $90 price comes from or is this just a guesstimate? Can we on our own get updated transfer cases?? Any idea what a dealer would charge to upgrade it. Will the dealer let you buy a stronger cast iron one for a non Alpha H3?

I'm guessing it won't be $90. Probably closer to $500.00.

I believe the $90.00 is tagged on the Alpha for that Iron front diff. Obviously in production, the exact same labor gos into the equation, it is only the PART price difference. For an I5 to get it done now, it is a complete R & R of the front axels and diff, and I am only assuming (safe I think) that the same gears/shafts would go back in to complete the swap. Labor without the part at this point would be at least $400 - $800.00. Anybody want to call a Hummer dealer and see what the iron diff itself costs over the parts counter??? Yikes!

HummerMike, if ya see this, can you check that part, and is it even available yet?

the actual cost to HUMMER, the Cast Iron Housing is $90.00 more.

There are other parts you need.

BTW, Shell, nice rims

Would an ARB front diff locker solve this issue?

I know ARB are working on such a front diff, and it should be avilable in a few months.

I am thinking you are meaning front DIFF????? Most transfer cases are made from Aluminum as well as transmissions.

Also that was a very good written letter. Did you let them know that the letter was posted on several Hummer forums?

If and when they come up with one.ARB would be a good choice. But you still need the Cast Iron Housing
