Oh I'm sure they'll show up sooner or later to cast their vote...But it does prove a point, that some of these peeps were only here to complain.

I think the point is that only 13 out of 1300 had problems so it is not real common of a problem. Hope I am right.

We do not have enough data to make an usable model.

everybody being a member here should answer because then, with about 500 answers we will built a proper model that could be used by the ones having problems..... or got the proof that their problem was due to an external factor... bad luck, mods, driving etc..

so please fellow forum members lets try to help!![sm=wakeup.gif]

HMMMMM, must have been bad luck (I call it bad parts) as I have NO mods, I drive conservatively (the extent of my aggression is about 85 mph on the open HWY occassionally), I do not offroad, etc...[sm=gears.gif]

Please, don't get me wrong, I am just trying to get enough answer to built a proper computer model using stats.

By no means I am saying that the problem comes from the driver, but if you want to push the case you must have some solid, reliable facts to support your request.

maybe my english wasn't clear enough.

I got ya clear enough JM...and I agree That was my point earlier about people not voting until I got "cracked on" for making a simple observation of others not voting in comparison to those who had posted said issue on here. However, I am not here merely to complain , I enjoy the knowledge I am gaining from others here, I love my little Hummer NO less than I ever did, nor am I sorry that I bought her, nor would I discourage anyone else from buying one! I just like to take facts and "ammo" and tuck them away under my hat for future use when necessary on any subject matter.

I still have no clue why people are argueing that this IS NOT a problem? Is it that you are telling yourselves this so that you'll believe it won't happen to you? Here are some FACTS...it IS a problem, so much so that GM recognized that the valve seats were soft and issed a PI sent to dealers that even included a VIN number range that could be effected. GM also started casting the heads differently to prevent this problem in the future...GM wouldn't just go and redesign /remanufacture heads because they got bored in the shop. So sure, on this forum with a limited grouping of members it doesn't appear to be that common a problem, but look at the VIN # range that GM thinks could have bad heads.....the number is HUGE!! So seriously...why the arguing here? This isn't some crap bieng made up, and you people can keep drinking the cool-aid for as long as you want but when/if it happens to you DON'T come back on here bitchin about it. I have seen it sooo many times before on internet forums, the ones that say it's not a problem...it won't happen to me....when it does your the first to come back on here pissed off like someone just pissed in your cheerios.
