Hummer H2 For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

Fatboy Goes Into The Shop Tomorrow...Maybe will find that Leak?

The mechanical transmission shifter went the way of the dodo bird. My RAM 1500 has a **** on the dash. I don't mind it once I got used to it.
My Squarebody GMC is an automatic, I have a Snap-On Screwdriver handle on the end of the shifter handle. Have two Mopars and both are stick shift.

I love old cars and trucks.

Yeah yeah..I got that .....The "RAM" has the same thing on the Parking Brake. It's a "Stick your finger in the Hole"And Pull On/Off." We be do-en a lot of hole stick-en these days.

Don't know at this point what's happening till Monday or Tuesday. The leak appears to be from the corner leaking thru the sealant in the channel where the windshield lays. Not sure yet if it is a rusted channel or what, As I said when this leak first appeared in 2009 they did everything at the dealer to try and stop it. They even replaced the windshield back then.

It might be what VAX talked about in his videos, Micro Cracks in the sealant that has dried out and split from body flex. Either way I'm getting ready to bend over and fork out some bucks. One good thing is I have 100% glass coverage on my AAA auto Insurance policy. So if it is a Windshield ..It's a Freebee to me.

Mine wasn't rusted it just literally lost its adhesion I could have pushed it right out, maybe from the flexing of the vehicle over time or just heat and cold cycles

I watched the guy who replaced my windshield. He called me out and showed me. It was more than a crack behind the windshield but a hole like half the size of penny. In my yellow H2 have eliminated about 99.9% of water leaks. Nice having a dry cabin lol. If you take off headliner you can seal it from underneath.

It appears your getting ready to take that stick-en UYA when you get the bill.

Yeah I hear yah VAX and H2X2...Since I plane to keep my H2 till i check out...I'll fix what I can myself and spend money for major repairs when I have to. It's cheaper then laying out money for a new Ride. Besides, Nothing out there that's new really does it for me. All full of more Computers and Grounds. I think we have hit the point of a Drive it till the warranty runs out then get another one. But I can't afford to spend money like that. Only other route is to lease. But that cost big monthly bucks.

If I do buy another ride ..I'm going back to the 70's.... L.O.L.

No big deal... I have a nice savings account for the H2 over the years. Rather than spend XX $$ on that stupid Car Shield chit. I just socked a few bucks away ecah month for just this kind of occasion. So no pain... And if it does need a Windshield ...It's covered under my AAA policy as I said in other posts.

And of course your H3 doesn't leak... It's totally different then the H2. I had a 2007 loaded. Never had any problems. The H3 is a Colorado Truck chassis with the H3 body. It was made in Shreveport La. GM layed off 3000 people at that plant when they put the H3 to sleep. Great truck. And besides... GM built it. The H2 was built by "AM General"
