just checking in
Just got the Hummer I've always wanted ! 2006 H3! Unfortunately,,, Bought it s is from a dealership........ Test drive went great and it was really clean so we bought. I drive 2.2 miles to work and it was behaving just fine. Today I took my daughter to work (about 10 miles) and on my way back the oil chimed in and the temp gauge read about 3/4 to the hot side. What a let down. I am at a loss and really don't want to tell the wife we bought a lemon... Any thoughts please.. Thanks in advance...

It is 11 years old, things are going to happen. Still in the return window?

Yeah. I really like it. That's what suck about this one. I want to keep it if it's just something minor. I worked my tail off to be able to get it. Quick question though. What color anti-freeze should I be running. I live in Colorado and the vehicle came from Texas. Also it has 132000 on it. Also waiting for the dealer to reply.....

3/4 on the Temp gauge is NORMAL. Search it out here, been beat to death. No worries there.
When you say "the oil chimed in" what do you mean?? If you got the CHG OIL message in the Driver Information Center, the GM OLMS (Oil Life Monitor System) is telling you its time for an oil change and it should be done w/in 600 miles. No worries there either. Your radiator is supposed to be full of 50% dex-cool (red) and 50% distilled water. Forgot to say..... Welcome to HF! |

It's an easy to do procedure, takes less than a minute. |
