Here is the other thing I had in the back of my head regarding amperage draws
and how they related to the '07 H3 specifically. Turns out it is no biggie, just
one of those things that nag at you. Especially on a vehicle that is so sensitive
to voltage fluctuations.........
From Four Wheeler Mag on the new '07 H3 power and economy improvements:
Hummer's Daryl Ehrlich, Development Engineer, Energy and Drive Quality, summed up the goals of the project by saying: "Our goal was to improve acceleration performance and driveability with the new 3.7L engine, yet minimize impact to fuel economy by implementing new technologies like Regulated Voltage Control and a high-efficiency alternator."[/align] [/align]Blah, blah, blah....and......[/align] [/align]
Finally, as stated earlier, fuel economy was also a major concern. With that said, the team integrated Regulated Voltage Control into the mix. Quite simply, this system shuts down the alternator when voltage isn't needed, thus elimin-ating drag on the engine. The result is a larger engine that makes more power than its predecessor but suffers no decrease in overall fuel economy.[/align][/align]

You needed a subject matter expert, not some goober who remembers just enough
stuff to be dangerous.......Have you had any more issues with your truck since then?
