This will be my third and final try to sell my H2 before leaving for the Bay Area at the end of Oct.  If nobody wants it for $10,500 (or a close offer), I'll just drive it out to the west coast towing my Honda Accord behind it, and put it for sale on the street once I get out there. I've seen an H2 with a flood/salvage title sell for $17,500 recently on eBay, and another one that it seemed to me wasn't as "desirable" as mine go for $12,500; so, from this and others that have recently sold, I must infer that I'm simply in the wrong area--probably nobody around here has the actual cash to buy the vehicle outright (except dealers, who've offered me up to $8500. for it, and of course then they'd turn it--and finance the vehicle, obviously, which I can't do--to somebody who would only look at the weekly, or bi-weekly, payments, and not the total amount they'd be paying for the vehicle in the end. Hell, I did the same thing when I bought it new: I financed it, because I couldn't afford a $59,600 vehicle outright. That's how everybody but the super-rich buy things in this (now) benighted country, isn't it? Ah well, if I start in on that I'll never get the car listed. . . . This is a good deal for somebody who actually has the cash to buy it outright; and if nobody does here in the vicinity of The TAW (that's Wichita to the non-cognoscenti--which group you've now joined by default by reading this missive, poor soul. . . .), well, as Popeye (or one of his minions) once said, "Them's the breaks, homes." Below is my original listing: nothing has changed since I first put it up on eBay last month.


I bought this H2 Hummer new in Feb. 2003, and have driven it continuously to date. The vehicle has been maintained by the dealership in Tucson, AZ, until last Dec., at which time I moved to Wichita, Kansas, which is where the vehicle is now. I "religiously" maintained the vehicle (you see, it's not a car, but I can't call it a "truck," either, at least in my own mind, so I'll continue to call it a "vehicle") at the Royal Automotive dealership in Tucson, having the oil changed every 3,000 miles, and, as recommended, everything changed every 30,000 miles. During its lifetime, the following has been done:
  at 118,000 miles, new AC compressor
new two-stage air compressor in 2006 (as I recall, when the original one started cycling continuously due probably to an internal short; the original air compressor was a one-stage
device; they went to a two-stage type compressor in 2005)
at 171,000 miles, completely rebuilt transmission
  radiator replaced in 2008
  both front hubs have been replaced
  both air-shocks have been replaced

  extras: Warn winch and Hummer luggage carrier; also truck shields (never used, still on original roll to be cut out so they will fit various places on the outside of the vehicle to prevent scratches while traveling off-road--which I have never done, by the way!)

Although the vehicle is "high mileage," practically all the miles are highway miles, and it is in very good shape.

What is "wrong" with it: two guages don't work (oil pressure and battery charging; the two least important ones, in my opinion, and the entire instrument panel has to be replaced at one fell swoop, so I've never done that; all the other guages have worked fine for the lifetime of the vehicle); the passenger side rear door window has to have the regulator replaced (this enrages me, because both rear-door window regulators are obviously of the "planned obsolescence" variety, and both have already been replaced, once, now I have to replace the passenger side one again; the front windows, which do get put up and down frequently, have never failed, so, to me, anyway, this is obviously just another MBA-corporate-asshole-planned made-to-fail-to-get-the-customer-to-bring-the-vehicle-back-into-the-dealership thingys, which frankly, I've had more than enough of in my 63 years on this planet--how about you?), which I will probably do myself before the vehicle is sold; the final thing is that only part of the six-way seat switch functions (movement front to back is okay, and so is putting the back of the seat at different angles, as is the "lumbar thingy" for the small of your back, but the seat will not move up and down vertically at present--I may fix this, too, before selling the vehicle). 
All in all, this is a solid, driving vehicle that I don't think anything major will go wrong on again, as I've fixed pretty much everything that could go wrong over the years; the tires are good (two are practically new, purchased in 2012), the AC blows cold, the CD with 9-speaker Bose system is the best stereo I've ever owned, etc.
Call me for more particulars.

Mil-Spec built a one-off, track-ready Hummer H1

Mon, Sep 24 2018

Mil-Spec is one of the latest companies looking for success with restored and modified versions of iconic vehicles. Rather than Porsche 911s or '60s trucks and SUVs, its canvases are Hummer H1s. The customer vehicles are big, brash off-road machines, but that's not all the company is capable of. We recently learned that the crew over there built a Hummer H1 meant for race track use, and it is amazing. The base vehicle is a four-door convertible pickup truck, and Mil-Spec thoroughly changed the suspension. It has custom coilovers with stiff springs, and the entire suspension geometry has been revised. Overall, it was lowered a stunning seven inches compared with a stock H1. The H1's in-board brakes now feature six-piston brake calipers, and the wheels are wrapped in low-profile Pirelli P-Zero tires. Also impressive is the fact that the truck still has a part-time four-wheel-drive system. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Under the hood is a 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8 similar to that in the customer models. But this one has been tuned all the way up to 800 horsepower and 1,500 pound-feet of torque. This engine also plays a role in this truck's origins. Apparently the truck was used for final powertrain testing and development. But it was also built to highlight the company's capabilities. If you want one of these, well, you can't have one. At least not yet. We asked a Mil-Spec representative, and he told us that there are no plans for offering track-oriented H1s. That's understandable, since the company is still working through building and selling its initial run of 12 off-road-ready vehicles. He did say the truck has generated a lot of interest, though. So, maybe when the company has time, and if a really wealthy buyer really wanted one, maybe the Mil-Spec could work something out. But at least in the meantime, the company is sticking to tall, chunky-tired H1s. Related Video:

Junkyard Gem: 2006 Hummer H3 SUV

Sat, Apr 27 2024

After General Motors bought the rights to the Hummer brand from AM General in 1999, it continued to sell the civilianized versions of the military HMMWV that was made famous after appearing in the heavily televised Operation Desert Storm. The Hummer H1 (as it became known) never sold in large numbers, but The General decided to make everyman Hummers based on existing GM truck platforms. The Silverado-based H2 came first, debuting as a 2003 model, followed by the Colorado-based H3 as a 2006 model. Here's one of those first-year H3s, found in a Denver self-service car graveyard recently. Now it's time for some Hummer brand history. After the American Motors Corporation bought Kaiser Jeep in 1970, it spun off the fleet and military parts of that operation into a new company called AM General. The best-known AM General products for many years were the Jeep DJ Dispatchers, generally called "Mail Jeeps," and they were sold all the way through 1984. 1984 was also the year that the United States Army put the first AM General-built High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV, which soldiers pronounced "Humvee" at first but eventually adopted the "Hummer" nickname). Around the same time, militarized VW-powered sand rails were being purchased from Chenowth by Uncle Sam. After Arnold Schwarzenegger convinced AM General to build civilianized Hummers, sales of the not-so-civilized brute that became the H1 began in 1992. The H2 and H3 had the misfortune to be launched just before the Great Recession hit and fuel prices went crazy, while a couple of overseas conflicts that were much less popular than Gulf War I made grim headlines and reduced the street appeal of combat-inspired civilian wheels. The H1 got the axe in 2006; GM tried and failed to sell the Hummer brand to a Chinese manufacturer in 2010, as it struggled through Chapter 11 bankruptcy, finally giving up and killing the brand alongside Pontiac, Saturn and Saab. Then the Hummer name was revived in 2022 as an electron-fueled GMC model, and you can buy a 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV right now (though GMC's website warns of "LIMITED AVAILABILITY" in big red letters, so you might have a hard time actually taking delivery of one). The final 2010 H3s were built for Avis at Shreveport Operations, which itself shut down two years later.
