i have 3 F##king cars.... what is the #@$%^ problem driving above 100.


The problem is the vehicle...
I take my car to 160 regularly.
My H2 stays below 90

use your F##king head.

Alright guys relax now.

To the opening poster:
Not all vehicle's are made to go over 99 miles per hour,especially an H2. The only thing i could recommend right now would be taking it to your local GM dealership and have it looked it. I had a similar problem with a ford excursion i own but it was at around 90 mph that would cause the suspension to wobble. It was a factory defect and was fixed and that solved the problem.

I thought that hummers were speed regulated (due to tires) and could not exceed 100 mph unless the ecu was reprogrammed.

Then why would you go that fast? I like my license too much to risk that.
Only plce in the US where I drove 100 for longer periods was from LA to San fran.
And of course in Germany but that was not with a Hummer

why the f**k are you doing OVER 100 mph in a vehicle that weighs 3 tons and has the aerodynamics of a brick.

at 100 your probably getting around 8 mpg.

maybe you need to get another vehicle.
Heh, w/ my wheels and tires on stock gears it doesn't matter what speed I'm going. 60MPH, 75MPH, 90MPH I always get 8MPG.

Not all Hummer owners live in the U.S.
So where does this guy exactly live? Not a lot of places you can go to top out IN the U.S.

Honestly to try and answer your question: if you have the air ride its supposed to dip down a little in the rear when you reach freeway speeds to help with stability also have you checked your sway bar linkage? if both are fine I'd just have to say "SLOW DOWN!"

well...

1st of all thanks for the reply's contribution in this thread....

i figured it out,, changed the tie rods (inner/outer) , ball joints and that was it.

now no more swings, sways or what ever... having a smooth ride.

found that the inner tie rods were worn.

So how in the hell did you have an alignment done from your first post and not see the tie rods were shot?
