So you want to buy an H2!

I forgot to mention the leaking that happens with the marker lights in the roof. It is an easy fix and I can make a quick video explaining how to do it. Leave questions and suggestions in the comments!

WE LOVE THE HUMMER H2, ESPECIALLY WITH A LIFT KIT !

[@808chevykev]

The gaskets on the roof lamps go bad after a while and allow water to creep in which will collect in your floor pan and soak your carpet. Easy fix with silicone(like I did mine) or just buy new lamp bodies(not expensive at all). Overall they are good trucks. People rag on em for no reason really. Simply put,it's a machine like any other vehicle and shit is gonna go out and need replacing. I've had mine(2003) since 2018 and probably have $2,500 in repair work in it. I turn wrenches so I saved a lot on parts and labor. A lil over 198,000 miles on it and I'd drive it to anywhere.

[@modificationnation73]

Nice! Yeah, the roof lights leaking is a pain! I have around 170K on my 03 and it’s going strong.

[@sixfoot2129]

Yes the window regulators went out on mines but I’m very happy with my H2.

[@808chevykev]

RockAuto has them fairly cheap. That's where I got mine from for my '03.

[@hadibinsumaida8025]

Awesome ride bro, you really did mention almost all the stuff that break on H2s except for the most annoying one ! The automatic windows ! , rear passenger windows ! Front passenger window ! Driver window ( knock on wood still worka for me). And by window I mean the whole thing, window motor, regulator etc... Cheers !!

So basically everything you would look for in a GMT800 pickup.

Great Video. Hi Guys, im thinking of buying a 2006 H2 SUT it has 188,000 on it but looks awesome, the guy is asking $17,500. if anything needed fixing he brought it in and had a mechanic fix it. does it sound like a good deal. in in Minnesota and the guy undercoated it each year. Really looks nice. any advice?

[@modificationnation73]

Disclaimer… I’m not a mechanic, I’m an enthusiast. If it was me, however, I would make sure the frame and brake lines are good. The undercoating can trap moisture and cause rust. I don’t undercoat any of my cars. Also, I would be careful if the radiator has not been replaced since they have a tendency to rupture and the trans fluid and coolant mixes causing the trans to fry. I’d make sure the transfer case shifted to low 4x4 and back (shift motors always go out). With 188k on the clock I would personally feel like it was a bit of a gamble. The engine and trans will need some love (replacement) sooner or later… as well as the difs and CV’s. Just my 2cents. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have anymore questions.

[@ChefNorrawitJ]

How do you like those beefier tie rods?

[@modificationnation73]

I love them. No issues.

[@DrAlexanderHamilton]

do you have a video with the truck crank. I want to hear how loud those headers are. I'm told you get better gas mileage with headers. Thoughts? Do you get better gas mileage and do the headers make the truck louder? And are those shorty or long headers?

[@modificationnation73]

I get worse gas mileage with headers. The tune will determine a lot. The truck is definitely louder with the headers than stock manifolds. I will post a video of the sound for you.

[@DrAlexanderHamilton]

@@modificationnation73 ok, thanks!

[@tone569]

I found one with 60,000 miles on it

[@paul_revere]

i know a guy who is selling his 04 H2 and it has 265,000 miles on it. it is very clean underneath the truck no leaks under the hood. no roof leaks of any kind it is a high miles truck . my question to you is do you think if he is only asking $6,000 in your opinion is this a good investment

[@modificationnation73]

Well first I’m not an expert! So, I can just say what I would do and not necessarily what you should. 6K for one that has 265k on the clock could be ok depending on the truck. I would have to see it. With that mileage the engine and trans/T case will need to be replaced soon probably if they haven’t been already. I definitely wouldn’t say it is an investment… it’s going to cost money for sure but I wouldn’t be able to give a guess as to how much without seeing it and asking the seller a bunch of questions. Does it come with the hummer steps? They are worth a lot generally.

[@reaksmeyneat456]

Hello Modification Nation! how much can we buy the Hummer H2 in your country in 2024? Thanks in advance for your answer.

[@modificationnation73]

They don’t make them anymore so prices vary.

[@jesusmercado6947]

You forgot to mention transmission's fail a lot and it leaks water inside when it rains. It's really not a big deal if you know how to fix vehicles

[@modificationnation73]

I think I did forget the transmission issue. The cooler lines go onto the radiator and the passages corrode and the antifreeze mixes with the trans fluid and burns it out. I have an external cooler and aftermarket aluminum radiator.

[@kingrob64]

What long tubes are you running?

[@modificationnation73]

Dynatech

[@modificationnation73]

And dynatech y-pipe with Borla exhaust.

[@LifeAboveTube]

What size lift do you have?

[@modificationnation73]

8” with a 1.25” body lift. The 40’s still rubbed with the suspension lift alone.

[@paulguerrero972]

Which electric fan/kit do you have? I think this will be my next project. I took my H2 to Windrock Park TN and did an option line...thru a mud pit...and took out the fan!!! Going electric so I can turn it off before going full retard!!!! 😁😁😁

[@modificationnation73]

@@paulguerrero972 I basically did what you see on this forum but used a better alternator and radiator. I also put remote oil and trans coolers. I couldn’t get it to overheat if I tried! www.hummer4x4offroad.com/forum/showthread.php/9712-Electric-Cooling-Fan-Conversion.

[@modificationnation73]

@@paulguerrero972 also, if you do the E fan conversion, you have to program the ECM so be prepared to either do it or take it to a shop.

Large and obnoxious gas guzzlers keep the galaxy spinning

Yes they do.

[@leehernandez1557]

What offset and wheel size?

[@modificationnation73]

Don’t recall the offset. They’re 24x14 rims. They were on an H1 alpha, so whatever offset that would be.

[@westrokk21]

What size tires

[@FR-VIDZ]

Can we hear the exhaust

[@modificationnation73]

Sure. I’ll make a video and post it when I get a chance. The sound is never the same through KZbin though!

@@modificationnation73 details on coolers for both engine and transmission

[@modificationnation73]

@@labowie54gb Derale 13700 Electra-Cool. You have to run AN lines. The cooler will NOT hook up to the stock connections/tubes. Also, you will need to run power to the fans for the coolers. I used a separate fuse block for the fans and other accessories.

[@FizzzleDizzzle]

Yes, steps are expensive for H2's!

[@modificationnation73]

Too expensive!

no air suspension? No buy. lol springs on a luxury 100k truck.....
