Installed 4 new 02 sensors yesterday. All ok so far. No codes. Waiting for my little TPMS black box.

 

Forgot. What are the diameter threads in the exhaust holes on 02 sensors? 3 went in very easy. 4th is very tight, not cross threaded. Maybe needs re-tapped ?

Thanks. Auto Zone is 2 miles from me. O'Reilly's the same.

 

Just off the record here. What do you think a 2008 H3 Alpha is worth? Say if one is put on market like mine. Inferno orange color. No rust anywhere. Southern H3. I've replaced all parts underneath . Such as brakes, New rotors etc. All shocks, front and back sway bushings and links. Upper and lower ball joints. Tune up, plugs and wires. Valve cover caskets. Trans was rebuilt. Step rails, window rain guards. New drivers lower seat cover,( just like the original ) Cashmere interior, that is like new. 137.000 miles as of yesterday. Hard plastic spare tire cover. Now I have a key fob. Battery is new. Most all work was down by me. Except trans. I have paper on all parts. 35 things so far. Not wishing to sell at all as this is my toy. Just wish to know what you guys think it's worth.

 

you can look here and see what h3 alphas are pricing at.

Not that many alpha's out there. Most are 5 cylinders. Craigslist has a few. all over the country. $18,000 up. to $23.000.

 

Craigslist, Kansas City. 03 H2 Olive Drab Looks good $10.000. Craigslist, Oklahoma city H3 alpha, $23.500. Wow , think I'll sell my H3 08 alpha and buy 2 H2's at that price.
I should stay off Craigslist. Always something that catches one's eye. I would like to have a H2. And keep both.

 

Some after though on things. I should have never purchased this H3. I should have come over here and did a lot of research. No owners manual came with it. They are cheap on ebay. I purchased one there. However, No manual, no radio code. Unplug battery, no code and locked up radio. Next, no key fob. Should have been a big warning. No engine cover. Purchased one on ebay. Tires in bad shape, no big deal as I purchased new one's. Old tires had no TPMS in any. Hence my tire light problem. Drivers seat bottom worn out. No big deal there. I put on a new one. Heated seat works fine. I purchased a radio , 6 cd one from a junk yard that sells parts all over the country. No code was included. After a visit to GMC they said no luck on unlocking it. Called the junk yard and they said they would get back to me. After talking to their contact, a service dept. at a dealer, no go. I was going to send back to them, but they said just keep it. I still have it. Don't work to good in a box. lol. A couple more things, should have been a big red flag on this one. Old saying. We get too soon old and to late smart.

 

There are no inferno orange H3s, the only orange was Solar Flare Metallic. 2008 Alphas ain't no big deal, repairing and replacing worn out parts does not make the vehicle worth more, but it may sell quicker. You need to know what Alpha you have.

Alpha Off Roads (in 2008 they have the low range T Case and rear locker) bring more than a duded out Alpha because they made far fewer of them.

Personally I hate the spare tire hard covers and Nurse Bars, add zero value. I would never buy and orange anything and would avoid the Cashmere interior as well. Just my humble opinions. Others look for that?

What people ask and what they actually sell for are two different stories. There is some clown on Ebay asking $50K for a low mile ugly azzed orange I5, and asking prices on others into the $30Ks, never gonna happen.

I bought my 09 Alpha Off Road (front & rear lockers) in the color and interior I wanted, southern truck, zero rust, reasonable miles couple years ago and paid less than $18K shipped to Detroit. Those are scarce as Hen's teeth. You have to know what you are looking at. The seller had no idea what they had.

The Alpha Off Road H3Ts is what bring the big bucks. Those are like a Jackalope.

Yours is probably worth about what you have in it, which is better than most used car buys. Of course I have no idea what you paid so if you threw silly $$ at it, that is a different story as well.
