Bob, your H3T looks great all mudded up.
You sure were lucky to get the "T" when you did, I could not find a new one anywhere near me. As soon as the dealer received a couple used ones, they were gone!

Looks great! Congratulations.

anvil

I'm thinking of making the jump to a h3 myself. Just looked at the prices for a nice used one and was pleasently suprised. The used h3 is cheaper than a canyon or colorado of the same year. They seem to wheel pretty good to. :D If you can wait, try and find a used H3T. I know I miss my CC mostly be...

anvil

Both the CC and the H3 are products of GM no matter how we slice it. I've owned GM for many years, I like the product. In a pick-up truck with the light rear of the vehicle and a somewhat powerful engine and I had limited slip also on my CC. Coming off the line the CC would spin the tires. That I al...

anvil

...........Absolutely beautiful ride in the H3, solid, smooth and quite. I've said this before too, when I take off with the H3 from a dead stop, and press down on the peddle there is no wheel spin as I experienced with the CC................ http://4fxearth.net/phpBB2/smilies_mod/upload/d6954bbe44...

anvil

You may remember my story about me selling my CC for an H3 SUV. That was back in Jan. this year, and I'm here to say that the H3 is perhaps the best all around vehicle I have ever owned. My 2008 H3 has a 23 gallon fuel tank, the I5 engine with the dual overhead cams and about 240HP. Full time four w...

anvil

The H3T is a beauty, isn't it? I like it, and one equipped with the lockers front and rear is icing on the cake.
Go ahead and do it, you will love it.

anvil

I've told the dealer if he gets a low mileage H3T in on trade to call me, this was as I was getting in my H3 for the very first time as the new owner. Here I was just picking it up and talking about trading it in. Yep, the frame from the Canyon/Colorado are close to the H3. I really like the ride I ...

anvil

There are blind spots in the H3 compared to the Crew.The H3 does sit high and it does give me a little better ride.
I don't have the instrumentation I had with the Crew, no alternator or oil pres. gauge.
Much better turning radius tho.

anvil

Well, with a Saab and a Hummer, I'm still part of the GM Family.
I may miss my Crew Cab more than I'm willing to admit.
I do like the Hummer H3T.

anvil

The world of cars is so different from years ago, like from the sixties. I think competition meant something totally different. Now days car manufacturer executives look at their cars as just product and keeping up with each other is the norm, no one can exceed the other. They judge everything by pr...

anvil

Thank you guys. My H-3 is a 2008, it had under 15K miles on it when I bought it. I had my Crew at the dealer getting the injectors replaced and they lent me a 2006 H-3, and that is when the love relationship started. I had that 2006 H-3 for three days and didn't want to return it. I made an offer th...

anvil

I bought my ZR5 new in 2002, and I loved it ever since. Normally I keep a car until the warranty runs out, this one I held onto for a few more years. It still has less than 41 thousand miles on it. I will of course stop by here to read the very informative posts, and to see the legendary Henry-J fix...

anvil

Noises will drive you crazy, especially when you rule out the obvious like the brakes, only to have the pads not changed. Well at least that is resolved now. You're in CT, you could have bought my ZR5, 2002 less than 41K miles on it. http://www.mcdermottauto.com/ou/newhaven-hummer/console.do?page=f_...

I never used any additives in the fuel. A sticking poppet was the culpret.All fixed now, seems to run better than ever. The HVAC switch was the fan, electrical nothing vacuum, unless they are related to the transfer switch some how. Did the brakes all around, two new tires. This is where I will jinx...

I have a 2002 GMC that I bought new, love the truck. The HVAC fan only worked on position 3 and 4, and I had to replace the oil cooling lines a few weeks ago. The the SEL came on, and it was flashing at me, so I took it to the dealer and needed new injectors.I had it fixed. Coming home from the deal...

anvil

I hope I am never without a four wheel drive truck.
While I do not consider my truck an off-road vehicle, I do count on it for year round transportation in a lot of tough areas. Snow being the most trying times.

anvil

My crew really pulled through for me in this more than to foot storm.

anvil

I had an overhead console in my 1999 that had way more features than the one in my crew. I actually forgot all about it till this thread.

anvil

Being mine is Yellow, I get heckled all the time, mostly it is called a circus or clown wagon.

47 now pushin 48 very soon. I have an 02 sonoma crew that I picked up last year with 13000 miles on it for $17400. Love it still! Dumped a 99 Dodge Dakota club cab bought new with nothin but problems. I'll stick to GM trucks forever. Rick Deckdog, I too have a 2002 Crew, and it has 13K miles. I bou...

anvil

I was 47 when this thread started, now I'm 49!
Where does the time go?

anvil

I do have a rattle that drives me nuts, and I have found it out to be when the A/C is on. I really never had it in the winter.
Who's had that rattle also?

anvil

As far as the fender flares go, don't the Sonomas come with flares in the rear only?

My ZR5 is a GMC, no flares in front for sure, but the rear looks like an added piece something like a flare. Maybe, all crews have what I have as far as the rear flares are concerned.

anvil

I have mud gaurds on my crew, and got them from the GM dealer. They are the cheapest ones they sell, just a straight, non moulded, gaurd. I agonized about this for a long time, yet when my mud gaurds were installed, I was happy with them. Nothing trick, very simple, and work great. Have the dealer h...

anvil

On my last Sonoma, I had a Sportmaster cover, much like the XTang, but it not only rolled up, it was hinged. I reall, really liked that cover.

Is the EXtang now making a roll-up/ Hinged cover for our Crews?

I'd sell my roll-up to buy one, as the hinged /Roll-up are convienient.

anvil

Good job HenryJ, way to stay on top of things!

Thanks for the heads up, something else to keep my eye on.

anvil

Thanks Con,

I think I will just forget about the bed extender for now.

I'll wait to get my new Canyon six foot bed, and a hinged bed cover,, and then the bed extender

anvil

Hey Conman, Yeah all that waiting to see if the bed extender would fit, and a no-go. As soon as I get a chance to take a few photos and send them off to you. I'm happy with the way they look, now I have to see how they work. The total price from the dealer for all four was under twenty dollars. From...

anvil

I finally got the mud gaurds installed on my Crew. I got the plain ones from the dealer, not the moulded ones, and without "GMC" on them. They are on, and look good. While at the dealers, we tried to fit the bed extender in the truck. I have a Roll up tonneau cover made by Access Cover, and the bed ...

anvil

Thanks for the reply. It is kind of funny that I never asked any GM tech. what that noise was.

Does it harm anything if I drove off a wee bit fast while I hear that noise?

anvil

I have the same noise, sometimes it lasts longer than other times.

Every 4.3 I've had in the past did the same. I never did ask what it is.

Probably is the fan, as that is the sound it makes.

anvil

Actually the duallie S-10 was done already, as it was featured

in one of the truck mags a few years ago. The guy that created it had it imported from Brazil, and If I remember correctly, he stuffed a V-8 in it.

anvil

Very funny Paul

anvil

Socaldave, I am on my fourth GMC/Chevy Sonoma/S-10, in the past ten years and none of them had a gas gauge that did not fluctuate. I learned to live with them. The front end banging sounds a lot like the problems of the early torsion bar mounts. You can look at the mounts, and they would appear new,...

anvil

Doesn't make sense. The door on the Crew would be the same as on a S-10 Pick-up, the front door that is. I never heard of a hinge needing to be replaced. I would not worry. The rear doors are smaller than the front. It is possible that it had a rust problem, or the owner did not lubricate it, and th...

I have a late 2002 Crew, and I have a cassette, and CD player all in the same radio, in the dash. From what I read, at the end of the 2002 truck season, the General started putting in upgraded radios. I also have two lighted vanity mirrors ( I don't know if that was not available prior though) I kno...

I'd rather get the reciever, so I won't scratch my painted bumper

anvil

Oil Pressure,

I think if we were to consult the shop manual, it wouldn't give a difinitive answer.

Each 4.3 engine I've owned has had the pressure all over the scale!

I kinda right it off like I do with the fuel gauges.

FYI, I'm running 40psi at fully warmed at idle.

anvil

I'm so glad you guys understood my spelling (satbility :lol: ) I wouldn't say that it would be harmfull to widen the rear out, as HJ say, no significant difference, so it brings us all back to the original question........why did the engineers do this? The truck , my truck, would look awesome with m...

anvil

I wanted to do the same with the wheel spacers. I hate the way the truck looks. I did a bit of research, because I wondered why it was designed like that. It is basically designed like that for the handling. I know it doesn't sound right, but by speading therears out, could impede the satbility of t...

anvil

Showing off, yeah maybe, but he still has umm, big stones!

anvil

Man, that is one impressive photo!

Can my Crew do that? Not with me driving it

I am so impressed, I had to send it off to my friends.

For a thin guy, you got big.........

well what a brave guy you are.

anvil

wr7 Obeh, that's a nice new crew you have, but what about the ex girfriend? Well, did she hook up with the salesman? The salesman must be good at his job, after all, you did get a new vehicle. All this talk with the heated leather seats makes me wish I had gotten leather. I have the same excact seat...

anvil

What I think the technical service bulletins are is a report of problems experianced and reported by owners. I think by law the manufacturer must make it public, and I think the NHTB gets involved. These TSB reports don't neccesarily mean your particular vehicle will be effected, but it is good to l...

anvil

Thanks for the correction AZs10crew, as I really had to give that photo a second look. I love the cluster, it is what was needed on all the ZR-5s from the factory, to add a little distinction from the norm. It would appear the best way to approach this would be to buy a couple stock units, and prepa...

anvil

I have a question for mi2kga,

Is there a problem with your gauges? It seems that your engine would be idling at 3K, and no fuel, and the volt meter reads way low.

Just wondering.

I love the insert.

Can you tell me why it is so difficult to install?

anvil

Thanks HJ. I went to that site, very nice tip, Thanks. Of course I won't be ready for a shock treatment for a while. I do recall that the dealer wanted over one hundred dollares a peice for the Bilsteins that were on my 91 Sonoma. It turned out that I didn't need shocks, but it was the all to famous...

anvil

HJ, Just for future info, what did you specify to order the Bilstiens? S-10/Sonoma Pick-up, or Blaser/Jimmy? I had two GMC Sonomas with factory Bilsteins, nice shocks. No problem leaking at all. I have Koni adjustables on my Miata. Good shock. On my Jimmy, it did lean to one side, but the shocks nev...

anvil

I have not seen a 2wd Crew, but have been looking.

I would be curious to see one, maybe it can get real low.

Tha'd look cool!

anvil

You're right Conman, I miss my sunfoof too! I did call the dealer, and he knows of a company that will install one for me. It would be the stock unit, just like the Jimmy/Blazer. I like that bit of fresh air coming in the car without opening a window. On hot days with a threat of a shower, I left th...

anvil

Hi Conman,

Yeah, you can send me an e-mail on your friends business, but he's over an hour from were I am.

However, if the price is right, it would sure be worth it.

Thanks

anvil

Hey Con, I bought my Miata at Eagle Auto, I think it was in Riverside. I took the ferry over. Is that near you? You probably read all the problems I had with my Omega Remote Start. It didn't always start the Jimmy. In fact if I mention buying another one to the girlfriend, she probably would get ups...

anvil

Maybe a hybrid door panel can be made from a crew and a Jimmy door panel. Perhaps get another set of crew front door panels and make them work in the rear. It could look like factory. Another little thing GM missed the boat, just a tiny step rearward. Maybe in the new Colorado, like as in the Envoy....

anvil

Hey Kent,

That'd be great , but I live in Connecticut. Oops.

I did spend some time at that site. It sure looks like the two way remote I was talking about.

I tried to link up with a dealer in my area, didn't happen.

I'll try later.

Thanks again

anvil

Hello Kent,

Thanks for the info.

I want to start to look for a remote starter in the near future.

Unless you and I live near each other

The Viper sounds good.

What manufacturer makes the two way remotes, do you know?

These units tell you if the vehicle is running or not.

anvil

I did do a search, however, found nothing yet I know I spoke about it here before. I once had an Omega remote starter installed from the dealer when I bought my 99. It never worked right. I stated that I get up in the middle of the night for my full time job, and I also volunteer as an EMT. I grew t...

Duals, what a great idea. i do like the looks of duals.

It's pretty scarry to hear how restricted our stock exhaust really is.

I just looked to see what if any recalls were on Crews. I saw none for my year 02.

I am sure there is other links out there with similar info.

anvil

Who makes the best cat-back system for our Crews?

Does anyone here have it?

How about cold air intake? How about MAF?

anvil

I had that "Auto" 4X4 in my 99 Jimmy, and I loved it. I used it all summer long during the heavy rain storms. I wish I had it in the Crew. What I did in the past with the 4X4 I owned without the "Auto" mode was to just pop it in the 4X4HI. It works fine. Now, does the climate control come with the l...

anvil

Socaldave, The noise you describe is from a locking differencial rear? That's interesting. This crew is the first GM truck I owned with a locking differencial. I have had the carrier bearing go bad, and a rear seal, but all in all, I have had four S-10 GMs, and never had any sizable problems. I do h...

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you, but I really appreciate the warning.

anvil

Thanks for the added info Conman. I had one of those bed bars you are talking about back in my 91 Sonoma. It worked well, however, with a bed liner in place, the bar would slide around a bit. It is basicaly an adjustable pole. It would work for stuff not sliding toward the cab, but isn't going to ex...

To answer Conmans question, I would have to say both 2 4Digger, and my truck are the same color, "Flame Yellow". 2 4Digger, about your Autozone Mud Guards, did you have to drill holes for them? My girlfriend said she doesn't like the black strip on my truck either. I thought it would not only look n...

2 4Digger, I too like the mud gaurds, what kind are they? I like the bed extender, and the hard cover also. It is a nice looking truck, and the bug gaurd painted the same color. What do you guys think about me putting the black rubber/vinyl strip on my truck? I'll have to post this question elsewher...

anvil

Thanks for the compliment Con, as I really do like the looks of all the Crews out there. I'd take one in every color! The Truxedo covers, and Access covers were comparable in price in my area. I ended up paying $350 for the Access Roll up. The other day, I washed the truck, and at night it went well...

anvil

2 4digger, nice Crew.

I like the color

I gues if we crew owners want store bought sill protectors for our trucks, we will have to use the Blazer/Jimmy ones.

As I mentioned earlier, the brushed aluminum sill protectors would look great, but out of sight price wise.

anvil

I do like having a tonneau cover, and I think with the bed extender, I will be able to place items in the back of the bed without it sliding toward the cab. I also use bungee cords to tie some light stuff toward the tailgate. I only hope that I will be able to swivel the bed liner open and closed, w...

anvil

Because I have the ZR5, with the bed rails, I bought a tonneau cover that would fit between the rails, an Access Cover.

Now I want to add a Bed Extender, and I need to know if the Bed Extender will fit.If you have a Truxedo, or a Access cover you know what I mean.

anvil

Are the sill protectors sold specifically for the crew cabs. The parts guy I asked had nothing listed for crew cabs. I doubt ones from a 4 DR. Blazer will fit, and the aluminum ones are out of sight price wise. (something like 90 bucks a set) The plain old black plastic ones with the two way tape wo...

anvil

I did a search on this forum to see what the consensous is on sill protectors.

I didn't find a post on the topic.

I just got my crew around Halloween, and haven't found sill protectors.

I want other things as well, but I'm willing to start with the sill protectors.
