I was not a fan of H3's until we bought one in 2014, and owning one changed my opinion. It was a green 2006 with the adventure package. We looked at jeeps before we bought the h3 and the jeeps felt like tin cans compared to the h3. Had it for three years until my son was driving it and lady pulled out and hit it and it was totaled. So I took the insurance money and bought a 2008 H3 Alpha with the off road package.
I'm 6'6". My 2008 hummer h3 is very comfortable. I just put a new engine in it with only 70,000 miles. I see yours came with an option mine didn't. A sandwich🤣🤣. Thanks for the awesome video.
@@fredmcconnell318 I've had the infamous sunroof leak, but I redesigned the drainage system, which you can check out in this video: ruclips.net/video/Xuk5k4fyIVI/видео.html Plus I've also had the OnStar antenna leak, that's still troubling me a bit.
More accurate to say the straight 5 is a member of the Atlas engine family. The Vortec moniker has been applied multiple GM engine architectures including the Atlas, small block, big block, and a couple others. The V8 is absolutely a great engine, but "the one to get" is pretty subjective. I'll be shopping for a 3.7 H3, I'm a huge fan of the Atlas series.
Fair enough.. but the 3.7 inline 5 is arguably underpowered for this heavy bear of a truck. And the fuel economy is utter trash. The V8 is incredibly reliable and about the same efficiency despite having significantly more power
@@edsgarage001 yikes, I didn't realize the H3 weighs more than a 6cyl Trailblazer, and almost as much as my long wheelbase Trailblazer. The straight six in my truck is awesome but yeah, subtracting over 30hp and torque would slow it down significantly. I'll still be looking for the 3.7 though, I want to find a pretty cheap fixer-upper.

Hi Ed. Nice review. I just got a 2008 H3 for free. Long story, but I paid to replace the engine, mounts, rewiring and $3,000 later, I have a sweet H3. All I'm doing now is replacing the floor mats, seat covers, steering wheel cover and upgrading the lighting. H3 club (hint hint)
The previous owner didn't want to pay to replace the engine and was going to scrap the H3. So I told him I would take it off his hands. I got a new engine, mounts, rewiring and now it's a beast.
Hi Ed, great review on the H3. I also have the 07, with the 3.7, and I love it. I've had mine for about 9 years now, and can't even think about trading it in for anything else out there. Maybe though, just maybe, it would be the new bronco. I've always liked jeeps, but like you, I enjoyed this one better because it is unique.
@@edsgarage001 and while on the subject..haha...people hate on the h3, but then they love the bronco..go figure..the bronco is like the h3..it's the version 2.0 of the hummer. They picked up where the h3 left off :)

Thanks for the awesome review. I'm considering getting one. You touched on a few concerns I have about heat with the automatic especially summers here. 115 degrees and up to 2ft of snow in the winter. Getting to my place is torture on automatics. After a 35 mile climb from the city the last 2 miles is 1000ft of slow moving elevation change. I'm blessed if I get someone to come back a second time lol. If I can find one in manual and locking differential would be a dream come true.
I need a vehicle to replace my lifted and locked 4runner. I am looking at an 09 h3 with adventure packages with a 144 k miles at 1/2 price of a comparable Toyota. What do you think?
Good review. I own a 2007 H3 in just a base option. I do have fog lamps on the roof. That is nice. I run Toyo P315/75R 16 tires on stock rims. Fox 2.0 Shocks, and I put on extended Shackles in the rear for 1.5" rear lift from the stock Torsion Bars. I did crank the front up to a 2" loft, again using the stock Torsion Bars for lift. Thats really all you need to do. I've had Jeep and Hummer both. For trails that don't require a monster beast 4 x 4. I will take Hummer over Jeep everyday of the week.
Best thing about hummer h3 vs Jeep is the ride quality! No comparison! H3 ride is great! All and all not a better value for what you get in the h3. Very capable and well built
Regardless of what vehicle you're off-roading with, it's always a good idea to air down. With these 35" mud tires, I normally ride on pavement at 35psi. But when wheeling on gravel/rocks, I air down to 20psi. But in deep snow or sand, I go to about 10psi and take it slow. On the rocks and gravel roads, airing down helps to smooth out the bumps, not just to provide extra traction.
I have recently got a hummer h3. Off-road and mountain roads, it’s amazing. But when it comes to highway and you’re in a hurry… oh no… it takes me long time to reach 140 km/h. If someone gets in front of me, i have to repeat the process again.
@@edsgarage001 That’s ok👍. So is it’s competition! These vehicle weren’t designed to be fast plus that’s a bit misleading! I can go 85mph all day long no problem! Any more than that isn’t needed anyways. You want fast get a Vette! The H3 is a bargain and if slow is your worst fear than you better not buy a Jeep either
Hi Ed, great video, very detailed, I got an 2006 H3 and still tuning and equipping it up, which model of Temperature Gauge did you install in yours, it's a module capable to connect to a cell phone?? Thanks
Awsome video. My temp gauge likes to hover between 1/2 and 3/4 also. I'm using a Bluetooth scanner to my phone running the torque app to check out engine temp but it doesn't give me transmission Temps and other information I want. What app are you using to get all the info?
@@rizkybiss oh man....i don't even remember where i downloaded them But when you do, it'll be a CSV file that you stick in the torque extra pids folder (Google that) Then, in torque Gear icon Settings Manage extra pids/sensors Menu button (three dots) Add predefined set Choose the GM set.

Yep, I've done it on an overlanding trip (see description) Now, unfortunately, i had transmission troubles, but that was due to a poorly rebuilt transmission. But the engine did great!
@@ammarasawant1578 that's an odd statement. I don't think a manufacturer would build a vehicle that wasn't capable of long drives. I've taken it on hours long drives in 30°C Plus, up steep hills pulling a boat. Like anything, if you don't push it too hard it'll be fine.
Nice overland setup man! I’ve had my ‘08 for a little over a year now. Moderately built. Very similar to yours. Jealous of your rear locker. Lol. But I haven’t come across anything where I’ve needed one yet.

Btw i heard the 06 model has valve issues and leaks from the engine. Do u know the cause of it? I found an 06 for a good price and is debating if i should buy it.
The H3 had a better interior than the H2. The H2 had a "Fisher-Price" interior for most, if not all of its life. The H3 was a step in the right direction interior wise, but it's a shame the Hummer brand did not last very long after the H3. (I'm not counting the new one because it's more like a sub-brand of GMC rather than it's own brand).
Definitely not stock... I just installed it right 😁 The brand is: "Cheap Chinese Android deck" If you're gonna get an Android deck, get one from www.joyingauto.com We installed one of those in my brothers truck, and it blows mine away

Well you definitely know what you're doing I'm sorry not trying to be negative, i appreciate the content, I'm praying I'm gnna be a proud owner of a H3 soon🤞🤞🤞❤️
First guy that doesn't care if there are hard plastic in the interior. I don't either. Hate it when people complain about the plastic. Those complainers can F off. Its not like theyre gonna touch the plastic while driving anyway.

The Jeep has solid axles on both sides, front and rear. So it's bound to ride very rough. Don't forget about the "death wobble".
When going off road, do you have to air-down the tires, like the typical overlanding vehicles that are on RUclips?

@@edsgarage001 thanks man so far that's the only way i could tell to, you mean the switch on the dash right? i had thought that was right but wasn't sure!
@@freemaysin5088 yeah, as far as i know. There's probably other ways, I'm sure.
Good looking Hummer
Thanks!!
What brand radio head unit did you go with? It compliments the H3 well

It's just an inexpensive Chinese Android deck.
But I'd highly recommend checking out www.joyingauto.com for some great quality Android stereos!

Btw i heard the 06 model has valve issues and leaks from the engine. Do u know the cause of it? I found an 06 for a good price and is debating if i should buy it.
Yeah the heads have issues on the 06... Try to find an 07 or newer.
It's a valve seat issue if memory serves
The H3 had a better interior than the H2. The H2 had a "Fisher-Price" interior for most, if not all of its life. The H3 was a step in the right direction interior wise, but it's a shame the Hummer brand did not last very long after the H3. (I'm not counting the new one because it's more like a sub-brand of GMC rather than it's own brand).
Thx for the comment!
Thank you for sharing this review!!
Thx for the comment!
What's your radio brand? It looks stock.
Definitely not stock... I just installed it right 😁
The brand is: "Cheap Chinese Android deck"
If you're gonna get an Android deck, get one from www.joyingauto.com
We installed one of those in my brothers truck, and it blows mine away

First guy that doesn't care if there are hard plastic in the interior. I don't either. Hate it when people complain about the plastic. Those complainers can F off. Its not like theyre gonna touch the plastic while driving anyway.
Lmao 🤣🤣.... Right!??!!
