Nothing like them or the Hummers will ever be made again.

Most “must have” drivetrain parts should be available from GM as time passes. eBay, boneyards and the aftermarket will hopefully provide other parts, but all of us Hummer owners will be or are transitioning from driving a vehicle we remember buying new ( or wanting to buy new!) to driving a collectible vehicle with the associated positives and challenges.

My Hummer is not my daily driver. Although I can afford a “new” vehicle my daily driver is actually 10 years older than my Hummer and is pushing 400,000 miles. Most drivetrain parts for it (1997 Ram 3500 diesel; also my K9 Search and Rescue vehicle) are still available but other parts can be a challenge. I’m still looking for a replacement cup holder! Still, I’d hop in this 27 yr old truck and head cross country with no hesitation.

Bottom line? IMO the Hummer is a uniquely American vehicle that we need to hold on to because if we don’t we’ll be like so many others that look back and say “I used to have one of those. God I wish I still did!”
