Hummer H3, Transfer case & Adventure package guide

A quick video of how to use and operate your transfer case and adventure packages on your Hummer H3. This particular Hummer does not that the locking system, but does have the traction control.

This is the best quick tutorial that I've found since buying my hummer. Thanks for clear explanations!!!!

[@nicolepea7911]

Thank you! Finally! A simple transparent example! I was so confused. Now I understand.

[@AskTheAdjutant]

Thank you sir. This was helpful for my understanding of the 08 Hummer H3 that I recently purchased. 👍🏾

What’s best for driving in the snow

[@chickinpoofy]

I have a hummer H3 2008 should I keep my 4 up I’m new to this stuff

[@Zazquatch1]

Question - If you have no wishes to go rock climbing but still want to have a capable H3, should you still recommend going for one with rear locker? I meen, why should you not?

[@terryconklin2209]

The other upside of getting the Adventure Package (which is what gets you the locking rear or rear/front depending on the year) is that it came with larger tires from the factory. 275/85/16.

[@volodymyrprosov6134]

Man i have a question about Traction control,and how does it work..So when one wheel by a same axle is spinning,the TC use brake pads to reduce its spinning but! Does TC transfer some torque by a spinning wheel to the non-spinning wheel that have a traction with land but kinda doesn’t want to spin because the opposite wheel of the same axle is spinning in air?ty!

[@hummerh3howtos]

Hello, thank you for asking. Traction Control will prevent wheelspin, so if you turn it off, motion might return to your car. Just be sure your car is actually moving. If you are stuck in truly deep snow and the car isn't moving at all, spinning the tires is going to make the problem worse. TC does not transfer torque to the other wheel, but prevents any unlanded tires from spinning.

Thank you so much !!!

[@wctyna]

Informative! Thank you!

[@glennpilon4654]

This isn’t an Adventure series. It would have the rear diff lock on right side

[@davidtreminio7005]

My lights wont turn on when I turn on the car is it a problem?

[@hummerh3howtos]

If you're driving normal, it could just be the light itself.

[@Snailmailtrucker]

Only if you need to drive at night !

[@isaacshaver6218]

Are you talking about interior/exterior lights or are you talking about the switch panel for your 4wd?

[@NoFlightZone]

What's the difference between

[@hummerh3howtos]

If you are looking for an H3/H3T with the Adventure package (I5s) you already know about the lockers and 4:01 to 1 transfer case. 09 & 10s have both front and rear lockers and a cast iron front diff. 06, 07 & 08 have rear lockers and an Alum. front diff. When it comes to the Alphas (V8s) 08 (rear locker only), 09 & 10 front and rear lockers but it is called the OffRoad package and ALL alphas regardless of the year and package have the cast iron front diff. The locker buttons are to the right of the 4 HI, 4 Hi lock, and 4 Lo buttons. they will have 4 wheels on the button and an X to show which locker you are selecting.

[@Suprasian]

So to have a rear locker you must have a rear lock button on the right regardless of year correct?

[@reggiec9102]

@@Suprasian 06-07-08 with one rear lock button on the right= Adventure. 09-10 with 2 lock buttons on the right= Adventure.

[@christopherAwaite]

Sorry don’t mean to be a buzz kill but your h3 don’t have a adventure package in it. You have no locking differential buttons on yours. But still thanks for the video.

[@hummerh3howtos]

You are correct. Later I figured out that this is just the base model.

[@gatos697]

Thanks!

[@mark.gallaher3193]

This is from someone who obviously knows little about how this system functions.

[@23productionssa2]

Thanks 👍!!

[@23productionssa2]

Hello, is it the same system and procedure for the HH3 2008?

[@hummerh3howtos]

Yes

[@alive-hd]

Tnx

[@NoName-kv3te]

I got the Service 4wd sign after getting a rear view camera installed. How do I take the case out? I think a wire got knocked out

[@crshedoutt]

I know this is a older video on your channel but if you see this please try to answer... so I know you can’t go over 5-10 mph in 4 low but I was trying to pull my buddy out of mud and I was scared to give it a lot of gas because I didn’t want to break anything even tho I wasn’t even moving I was giving it more and more gas and yea at one point I didn’t want to give anymore gas because I’m not informed on what would happen

[@hummerh3howtos]

When towing I will always use the 1,2,3 gears. This shifts the engine to use more of its torque then speed. I would combine 4low and 1 or 2 gear to give it that pull you're looking for.

[@reggiec9102]

If it does not have the locking diffs, it is NOT an Adventure....

[@tommcelroy6975]

You really dont understand what those actually do. Let me explain an adventure model but not with an adventure model.

[@rapnakaraibach6627]

Hi is there any option to use 2wd instead of 4wd in hummer like yours ??

[@hummerh3howtos]

Unfortunately they are always 4wd.
