I had no PCM but needed to roll mine a while back.
Again, no help for your situation, but if there's a next time you're good to go
Is this true of both, auto and manual transmissions?

He also added that it'll probably sell for around $15,000, and fixed up down in Mexico to be sold as a working H3 to be driven there as well. Unlucky for whoever gets it because the diff is gonna start slipping soon.
Wow thats crazy. Poor truck. At least somebody will fix it up.

Cleaning out both diffs and the tranny + all new fluid SHOULD avoid long term issues with those, but that thing is going to have electrical gremlins forever.
I agree he was close. I also agree that flushing out the diffs/tc and replacing with good fluids should eliminate issues.

As far as electrical gremlins, I'm not so sure about that. I think after it dryes out and once everything is replaced the right-way, there wont be many if any issues.

I'm pretty sure with the manual you just push in the clutch and put it in neutral The issue with auto's is, if the sensor fries you cant physically move the shift lever. The most that happens with a 5spd is you fry the clutch sensor, in which case the truck doesn't start, but will still roll in neutral.

Well well well. What a f*cking coincidence. I sunk MY hummer today. I was up to my knees in the cabin in water. I KNEW i was gonna get stuck, but my dumbass friend peer pressured me into tackling this hole. In the middle of nowhere in the hole, (rather close to shore actually) I found a HUGE dropoff that instantly put the hood under water. I slammed on the brakes so I didn't go deeper, and I was instantly stuck. Not. Cool. The only thing wrong with the truck is the security system is going nuts and not letting me start the truck.

Pretty bold to go on a public forum admitting to insurance fraud...
