Default New owner of a H3 Alpha

Just got a black 08 H3 Alpha and so far my wife and I love it. Just ordered a set of 315/75 R16 Duratrac's for it and I hope they fit.

Here it is. Does not have the new tires on it yet in this pic.

See! It seems as though the entire hummer line just looks great with a roof rack, I feel a need to get one. Nice looking H3, and welcome to the forum.

Hello and Welcome from a fellow Alpha owner in MI. Great info here on just about every part of your rig.

PS; Looks like the previous owner had stock in that PUTCO Chrome stuff. Not my style (I like the OEM chrome but that's about it) but if you like it ....

Thanks for the welcomes guys! It does have a lot of chrome on it and as you can see from my truck I am not a big chrome guy either but the wife loves it. We traded our 2010 camaro SS in for the H3. The wife liked the power of the SS but wanted another Escalade SUV. I did not want to pay that kinda price again or get something that big again so we got this H3 and she loves it and I like the aggressive look and the V8. Now I have a lot to learn about it.

Yes my truck can pull anything I would ever think of pulling. It has a 5.9L cummings diesel in it and it started out with 325hp stock and is now at just over 600hp and 1100 lbs of torque. The pic is of it doing a sled pull dragging a 45 thousand pound sled across the dirt. I have some vids of it on YouTube under blackdually1 if you want to see what sled pulling is if you have never heard of it. The sport does break a lot of part and finds your weak spots fast but it is fun. I do wounder how the hummer would do?!

The gear ratio on the H3 would prob not be too favorable for a tractor pull... And that type of strain on the rear suspension would get me thinking that the shackles would go...
