Seen those things before .. I believe they use a set of spark plugs in the tips of the exhaust .. raw gas is then like you said pumped through the engine which obviously isn't good in the long run .. washes oil off the pistons .. plus I believe the CAT may dislike too :-) When the button is pushed the spark plugs ignite the fuel and out the flame shoots along with the exhaust fumes .. at least thats how I've seen other kits work.
I would assume the fuel going through the engine does so due to no spark within a particular cylinder, I'm not 100% sure .. I personally wouldn't touch that crap with a ten foot pole and fire suit .. I like my truck and this ain't good for it!

 

I installed a set ofsomething similiaron my buddies show car, there is a spark plug that goes into the exhaust near the tip, and we also installed a nozzle thingin the exhaust pipe around 10" behind the spark plug. An inline fuel pump was ran to a secondary line going to the tank. When you hit the button the fuel pump pumped gas to the nozzel and also fired up the spark plug....not the safest thing in the world but it's friggen cool!

 

That would certainly be a much better solution .. though I doubt Johnny Law appreciates the technical critique when he slaps the handcuffs on ya for lighting the car behind you on fire .. those things are NOT street legal LOL!

 

Unfortunately, NJ is at the top of a lot of lists these days (highest property taxes, high car insurance rates, political corruption, and more). I thought NJ was bad, but after driving in Michigan I have to believe MI is at the top of the most dangerous places to drive list. With 70 MPH limits on the interstates, the average speed seems to be 85, and people drive like Johnny Law moved out of state.

Maybe I'm a laid-back driver because I'm old . Or maybe it's because of the high insurance rates in Jersey. AllI know is that driving just over the speed limit is a lot less stressful than having to keep a close watch for the law constantly. Blast your horn, I'll pull over and let you by anytime.

A nice thing about the Hummer, whether or notpeople ride too close behind, they at least seem to stay outof your way. I haven't had anyone pull out in front of me (yet).

[/quote] Zyne, This sounds like an interesting feature to have. You installed this yourself? Was it very difficult? My wife's vehicle has these built-in to the rear bumper, but I think they only work when in reverse. It might be worth looking in to adding something like this to the H2.





Mr. Clean,

I wish...

 

This is what I got and it works good..

Reverse Sensor

 

MORE Proof that younger ladies really do love big Hummers............................

And yes, around here (Chicago) it sure is more youner women then anything. I also told my wife that and she actually agreed with me, about the tailgaiting that is............

 

The most difficult part of the install was taking a drill to my bumper LOL! I had help with the wiring on this but I believe they are supposed to tie in to the reverse light wiring as a queue to turn on ... I believe we used a always on lead instead, I really can't recall almost 4 years back LOL!

 

You just ain't whistling Dixie...I dive through Jersey to get to Manhatten on I- 80 usually between 5:45 and 6:15 AM...the unfortunant part is my bus is governed at 72 and I am alway getting the horn and the finger for going too slow.

 

IS IT JUST ME OUR SHOULD I BE CONCERNED THAT THE H3 HUMMER HAS A POORLY DESIGNED HEAD SYSTEM.... ? SHOULD THIS NOT BE A RECALL, DID I NOT BUY A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN WARENTTEE KMS? OR MILES? PLEASE VOICE YOUR CONCERNS IN ISSUE

 

HUMMER H3'S WITH STOCK TYPE RIMS ... NOT THE CHROME ONES BUT THE ONES THAT LOOKED MACHINED. DOES THE CLEAR COTE PROTECTENT SEEM TO BE PRETTY THIN AND ALLOW FOR LOTS OF PREMATURE CHIPPING AND OXIDATION.
