I have a 2006 H2 in the northern Illinois area (Palatine) and need a new place for customization, maintenance, and repairs. Any suggestions? Thanks!

 

I live in mchenry and have a nice garage shop. What all do you need done?

 

Hi Goldenarm. I'm thinking about a supercharger -- I know, that means a forced transmission upgrade when my current one blows. So the work would be installing a Magna, perhaps. I'm also installing a Gobi rack and ladder but that's simple. I'm putting in a sound system. Those are the top items on my list. The supercharger may drop off the list if I get any sense.

 

Ive thought about getting that myself. In the end, i started looking at totaled out silverado/sierras with a duramax. You can pick one up for about 8k. Then you have everything you need to do a duramax conversion. You can scrap the duramax chassis when ur done and sell your gas motor/trans and come out pretty good... Quite an undertaking though... More so than bolting on a supercharger. I think that supercharger is 5-6k. How many miles does your hummer have? That would also be a decieding factor. I wouldnt mess with the trans if you do supercharge it. Run it...its not going to put more stress on it than towing. I know a guy that owns a marina and uses his h2 to tow on a daily basis and its fine. If it does go out fix it then. As far a systems go have you checked out the jl stealthbox? Pretty slick, doesnt take up any cargo room...

 

I just ordered the edge evolution cs programmer... Its supposed to be able to change the shift pattern and firmness...should add some life to the trans. Ill let u know how it works

 

Thanks for the information and advice. I have about 88K on it. I'm going to look into the CS programmer. Actually I just replaced the transmission after it blew in northern ontario over the holiday. I decided to keep the H2 and am reinvesting in it instead of replacing it.

 

The best thing i added to mine was corsa exhaust with the offroad tip thats hidden under the truck like the stock exhaust... Sounds really good with no drone. Worth every penny...

 

I'll look into it. Thanks!

 

Might want a better trans cooler and torque converter but If it was just bebuilt I'd Probably assume they replaced the torque converter already. You will love the magnacharger.

 

Thanks H2CANEPADESIGN!
