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.

Great job. What did you do to the diff? Did you pick up any extra vibrations with the heavy duty bushings?

I didn't do any mods to the diff except replaced 2 outer seal that's leaking. No vibrations at all, it actually eliminates clunk. Will see if this hold up off-road.

Did you have to split the case open to replace the seals?

i just tap the flange edge lightly with the rubber mallet and it came out fine. You can use a sliding hammer if you have one available and it'll do the same job.

How bad was your clunk? I've got the clunk that is audible when I let off the throttle and then reapply. Not so much when shifting from gear to gear. I just came across the Outfitter bushing kit and am seriously considering the upgrade but want to do gear swap at the same time. I've got the oem 3.73s and want the 4.56s to go with the 37s I'm running.
