Buddy you are a 💎 GEM. NO 5 min prelude of yourself, or your opinions just right into the procedure. Great presentation and video production. Thanks👌👍

[@H3Humper]

My pleasure, and I appreciate your words 🙏 I had a tough time finding accurate and concise tutorials for the H3, so I figured I'd help fill the void.

[@joebob344]

I'm glad I found this video. My power steering is leaking fluid like crazy. I fill it up and it's moaning again 2 days later. I will tackle it this weekend. I'm hopeful the high pressure hose dry rotted and I don't have to replace the pump itself. I can't isolate because everything down there is soaked. The low pressure is dry.

[@H3Humper]

Best wishes on your repair. I strongly suggest cutting the low pressure return line hose off the nipple instead of trying to pull it off (the nipple breaks incredibly easy and the reservoir no longer for sale).

[@mcfrog1068]

What is the price of the pump

[@Mulesear]

Nice short video with clear instructions and clear views of each step. the way a good automotive repair video should be done. Thanks!

[@H3Humper]

I am happy to read your comment! Clear and concise is my goal 🤓 Thank you!

[@seanedmunds1532]

Dylan, Where were you man? I just had to do this to my 2006 last week lol ! The pump blew at 99,000 mi and something happened that I wanted to share. The Oil pressure switch directly below the pump became saturated with PS fluid rendering the switch destroyed. At idle I had alarms and oil lights going off in the cab. As soon as I applied throttle the oil light and alarm went away. I now have the pressure switch on the list to do next. For now I have the cable unplugged to the pressure switch and there have been no undesired effects. I just have to check the oil more often for peace of mind. Great video!

[@H3Humper]

What a coincidence haha, and having the oil pressure switch fail due to fluid penetration really stinks! Thank you for sharing your helpful knowledge 🤓 Hopefully your discovery will help others avoid the same issue. Thank you!

[@EDMTMLFilms]

Keep these coming! I just got a new exhaust manifold that I'm gonna replace myself. I might also need to replace my oil pump. (subliminally suggesting future video ideas😂.) Also, where you got rear ended is where my bumper is also dented in from when I bought it. Exact spot.

[@H3Humper]

I sure will 🤓 Thank you for your encouragement! A new exhaust manifold is sweet, for sure. I'll add those to the list! I've heard the driver's side of the rear bumper often features the dented in spot lol. I think it's because we don't have a shackle on that side to intercept the impacts! Once the insurance company finally pays me the rest of what I'm owed, I think I'll make a video on "H3 driver's side rear bumper dent removal" haha

[@EDMTMLFilms]

[@markmeisner6837]

~$500.00 savings by DIY, thanks for posting these valuable gems! Just swapped my pump out, three bolts and two hoses, easy peasy! For me, removing the air filter box was time well spent, it provides easy access to do the job. As H3Humper mentions, be very careful with the low-pressure return nipple, it is fragile. I tried using my pully puller, with the potential of distorting the pully, I opted to borrow the puller as described in this video. While you're in there might as well consider replacing the belt, tensioner, and deglossing the coolant pump pully with a 3M pad, to avoid that annoying belt chearp. Question/observation, I flushed the system about the same timeframe that H3Humper posted his tutorial, and now I have replaced the pump about the same timeframe... any correlation / causation? I will never know, the pump lasted 160K miles, I would say I got plenty of life from the original.

[@H3Humper]

Hey Mark 😎 Doing things at home sure can save some money! Removing the air filter box is an awesome tip. Next time I have my belt off, I'll have to de-gloss the water pump pulley like you suggest. I once bent a power steering pully really bad with a pully puller (the three-claw type) and ever since then I just take a little extra time to run to the parts store for the puller/installer... I will only make that mistake once haha. Trying to find those replacement pulleys can be a chore! Thanks for sharing your helpful info. Odd coincidence and/or result from the flush! Hopefully this one lasts you the life of the vehicle.

[@Mr_Mrmrmrmr]

Not sure what to do with my power steering system. It only makes noise when driving. Like when you barely adjust the wheel to stay in your lane I makes noise. Can you do a quick video on loosening the tightener and removing the belt? Love your videos!

[@H3Humper]

Darn! Strange situation with it only making noise when driving. I can make a future video for belt removal, but it likely won't be very soon, unfortunately.

[@rizkybiss]

Awsome video. I'm saving this video. I've needed to do this for a year!

[@H3Humper]

Thank you 😎 Let me know how it goes!

[@rizkybiss]

@@H3Humper will do.

[@georgecobos8655]

I replaced mine but I think the new oring i put on the reservoir isn't a good one cuz im still seeing a leak from the bottom of it. It maybe shot so might go with the canyon one with reservoir attached. Great video though thanks for the info. I know its an old post but glad I came accross it.

[@H3Humper]

Still having a leak really stinks, especially after replacing the o-ring. I broke mine off and luckily still found a whole assembly in stock at the time. The H3's are going obsolete with the declining parts availability. They'll be collector's soon haha.

[@georgecobos8655]

No joke. Along with my 01 Tahoe that I still drive I don't think I'll let go of them anytime soon. From what I saw in the description the Colorado assembly is compatible correct just as long as I get the pulley with it as well?

[@H3Humper]

@georgecobos8655 yes, to my understanding the pulley is the only additional thing needed to make it work on the H3's. Let me know if it works for you and if there is anymore relevant information to add to the description.

[@georgecobos8655]

Will do. Thank you for the info

[@robertog.morales5786]

Very interesting! It is quite an important part to discontinue. Did you happen to try the site I linked to in my previous comment? Maybe they still have some in stock, since their site doesn't have it marked as "unavailable" yet

[@H3Humper]

Hey, thanks! 🤓 I hope your replacement goes well

[@franciscomontoya5302]

Good morning. I wanted to know if the power steering for a 2007 Chevy Colorado 3.7L fits the 2007 Hummer H3 3.7L? There is a Edelmann power steering on Rock Auto part number 6122PR that comes with the reservoir and pulley. I have a leak on the reservoir but it’s been discontinued and I’m looking for alternatives.

[@H3Humper]

Hello there, they are physically different pump assemblies, but I believe if you replace the entire assembly like you describe, it should work (according to what others have shared).

[@davidgreen8089]

Well worth the watch -

[@H3Humper]

Thank you! 😎

[@carloshart2424]

I've had both of my hummers since 08 an the alpha has started having electrical problems. Dash lights sometimes won't come on an the windshield wipers have the smell issue. Could that be the computer?? An diagnostic help would be greatly appreciated

[@H3Humper]

Hello Carlos, you've had those Hummers from the start! Very nice 👌 I recommend checking all ground connection. I take a small piece of sand paper to the mating surfaces of the grounds and reconnect them. Checking all the wiring under the engine bay for cuts or bare wires is a good option, too.

[@carloshart2424]

@@H3Humper thank you very much. Sounds like a good start. I've had em thru water, mud an over some very sketchy rocks. Probably some tlc would help. I just know they have never let me down. How long can you last being abused

[@tomfrantz]

Thank you.

[@H3Humper]

My pleasure!

[@thecreativecityUS]

You didn't film how to remove the reservoir clips? I have tried and have no idea on how to this right.

[@H3Humper]

Slide a flathead screw driver under the tab on the clip, and then the clip can slide off.

[@williamsmendoza1654]

Hi H3 Humper thank you for your content I'm having a hard time finding a reservoir as mine broke. I ordered the one you recommend that fit a Chevy Colorado do I need to order the pulley or can I use the one I already have. Thank you for all your help

[@H3Humper]

Hey there, Williams 😎 Those darn reservoirs sure cause some trouble. The Colorado pulley is needed due to a difference in shaft size, I believe. Let me know how it all goes, and best wishes on the swap. I enjoy helping figure stuff out 🙏 You're welcome 🤓

[@williamsmendoza1654]

Thank you for the quick response H3 Humper I ordered the pulley to have it just in case.

[@salvadorlopez1219]

So does that means we can install a Chevy Colorado pump on a hummer H3 ? Because I've been looking for a new reservoir but all reservoirs are out of stock even there aren't any used one so please tell me if the Chevy one works I will install that's one on my hummer I will be waiting for you answer thanks in advance

[@H3Humper]

@@salvadorlopez1219 hello Salvador, yes the Chevy pump assembly (with reservoir and pulley) are a direct bolt on fit. 😎

[@rmjrjay]

I replaced the power steering hose pressure and still leaking. The hose came with different o-rings . Is it possible that I installed the wrong o-ring?

[@H3Humper]

I imagine it could be possible the o-ring was the incorrect size. Is it still leaking or have you sorted it out?

[@rmjrjay]

@@H3Humper it still leaking. I think it's the big nut where the hose pressure is attached to

[@H3Humper]

Is it tightened down properly? Does it lose a lot of fluid or is it a slow leak?

[@rmjrjay]

@@H3Humper it's a bad leak. I took it to the shop

[@jesusunzueta4077]

Where do you find the reservoir? I have a hummer H3 I can find one.

[@H3Humper]

I believe they are no longer sold. Some people have had success with replacing the power steering pump with one from a Chevy Colorado, which requires a different pulley, I believe. The forums have some more information on the swap.

Don't spill fluid all over the place while filling.... I learned that you can actually spill oil onto the Engine Oil Pressure sensor and throw codes making your truck believe it's dying.
