Traded at 160
Traded it to woodfield Lexus on a 2011 qx56 and zero regrets. Needed something bigger, and was tired of the clearance lights vibrating. If anyone ended up with it message me and I can fill in the history

I got mine two years ago with 58K on it. Had the same clearance light vibration. Took them off, added the GM fix "stiffeners" and changed the foam seal around them and haven't had the problem since, Just broke 88K. Other than that I did the radiator and I have a TPMS with a dead battery.

2006 H3 Adventure Package. I purchased in the first week of release. I supposedly have the group with the bad engines. I never had a problem with the engine.
I now have 240k miles on the truck. Other than standard maintenance, until I hit 210k, I didn't have any issues. At that time, I had a cylinder go bad. The dealer told me...2k to fix...but, 4.5k brand new crate engine installed with 100k warranty. I chose the engine.
The truck runs like new and I haven't had any more mechanical problems until today. I received the "Traction Control Failed, service soon" signal. My 4x4 control panel has no lights other than the airbag lights. The truck still runs fine. I'm trying to figure out what will be the fix on this one.
All in all, I have gotten my money's worth and will continue to get it. I love this truck!

2006 Adventure 170k. Also have an early release with the bad #3 cylinder issues. Past month starting to overheat. Oil light coming on. Rough idle. Burning oil pretty bad. Looking into all of that now. Previous maint: Thermostat, Catalytic converter, Exhaust manifold - biggest mess.
