All Show and No Tow

RE: All Show and No Tow
Yes! I just won the exactkit I neededon Ebay Motors. The same auto dealer that hadthe auction for the kit that I lost, had another auction for another kit the following week. It is the Magnacharger Radix Eaton M112 Intercooled kit. It is suppose to be new, and never installed. Its missing the ECU programmer and the intercooler reservoir. I called Magnacharger and they will sell me both items fora very inexpensive price.
This will be my second Magnacharger kit and my third Eaton blower. In my experience, they are the best for towing and the Eaton blowers are very reliable. I will install the kit myself. I will provide updatesafter I install it.Wish me luck....I will need it![8D]

RE: All Show and No Tow
Remaining parts arrived and I installed the kit several days ago.I still need to try it with the trailer. I will update when I do.Without the trailer, the H2 would kick down on hills. Now it does not kick down at all. Much more power. The Hummer feels "nimble" and more responsive. Its amazing how much more faster off the line that it is.Note the following:
Removing hoodand lowering front tire pressure provided betterengine bay access. Removing 6.0 vortech plastic intake manifold is suprisingly easy. Even though gas tank is plastic, its heavy and cumbersome even thoughfuel light was on-better to have 2 people remove it.Should use 2 people to lower supercharger/intake assembly on heads. For H2, kit manual nor online instructions did not apply when downloading supercharger program from Superchips Micro Tuner to H2. Magnacharger actually told me to use a PAPERCLIP to "jump" terminal b to d in a specificplug-in under the driver side dash....yeah, a paperclip! haha! However, it worked anddownloaded the program immediately and I did not need to remove fuses as manual stated. You will need a METAl holesaw drill bit to cut through the grill bracket tomount the heat exchanger and I had to drill it at an angle and it still worked. Read instructions carefully as there are different proceeduresfor 2003 and 2004-2007 models.Found it odd thatmy 2005 H2 Sut does not have an inline fuel filter (its in the gas tank). In comparison to my F150 supercharger install, the H2 was easier. Very well made kit.

To answer your question, no, you don't need to remove the tire. If you don't have a ball mount that lowers the set-up below the tire and gives comfortable enough clearance, you can get an extended ball mount.
When we bought our travel trailer we got one that puts the ball behind the tire, but weighs a hefty 30 pounds of solid metal. It does the job with a 28 foot trailer and since we've driven it over 5000 miles, I can be pretty confident it hasn't screwed up my tongue weight rating.
