Hi All,
Been reading the forums for a while and decided to join in. I will be getting a Desert Orange H3X in the next few days and ejoy reading all the posts about your Hummers. I am the Shop Forman at Valley Cadillac Hummer in Rochester N.Y. We are selling lots of the H3's and I like the truck. Well thats it and look forward to participating in the forums. Steve

 

Thanks Steve for stopping in and Welcome

As you said you've been reading the forums here and I'm sure you are aware of the problems a few are having with a Head/valve issue....Being you are in the service mainstream, can you shed a little light on this subject..I'd like to hear your evaluation about this issue as I know a lot of folks here are somewhat concerned...Seeing as you just bought an H3 yourself, that shows us you have a lot of confidence in the H3..

Thanks

 

Welcome Steve!!!

 

Thanks for the Welcome!! On the valve issue we have had to replace the cylinder head on 2 trucks on all we have sold. There is a bullentin for this concern and only truck prior to vin break 68287591 (last 8) would be effected. It was due to soft valve seats in the head and vin numbers after that break point have the harder seats. The trucks that have the problem will have a check engine light and may or may not have a skip in the engine. I would not worry about it as most will not have the problem at all. Hope this helps Steve

 

Good info Steve.


And to the forums.

 

cool color.

 

Welcome Steve! Be sure to share photos of your new truck when you get it

 

Welcome Steve...and can't wait to see pictures of your new truck...I bet that color is awesome...I have an H3 myself and love it...and thanks for the info...very helpfull.

 

Steve, welcome. I'm a newbie myself.

There has been much debate about tightening the torsion keys/bolts in an effort to raise the front end 2" so to get away from the "cat in heat" look. What is your stand on this (being a shop insider).

thanks in advance

 

I have only had one person do this around here. He put 315/75r16 bfg tires on his. We did not do it and he brought it to us to realign and the camber and toe was off on his. I might do it to mine after it gets here and I put some miles on it. These truck are low in the front from the factory as far as level goes. I really see no reason not to. Steve
