Scotty, is downshifting to brake a bad idea on an automatic transmission? I know we all do it when we see a cop or towing, but what about everyday?

[@jeremyf9124]

The real, original Hummer is amazing and innovative. Portal axles, inboard mounted brakes, aluminum body, Torsen differentials, central tire inflation, water-sealed drivetrain etc. Very ahead of its time. Designed to be a no-compromise military vehicle. SUVs got very popular in the late 90s. GM realized SUVs had a large profit margin. They bought the Hummer rights from A.M. General, made optional features standard, to justify increasing the price to keep the real Hummer (now named H1) out of reach. They then put Hummer-type styling on a Suburban and called it H2, and a Trailblazer/Envoy, and called it H3.

I have a 2005 Hummer. Over 200,000 miles and never broke down not once. Never broke my wallet. Only tune ups and oil changes. A great vehicle. Easy to work on. Not one problem ever. Never been towed. Still has the same parts on it. I bought it in 2005. Still in my family. Even the same fuel pump is still in this Hummer. Rides like a dream. It was paid off in 2013. Years of daily driving and has not once failed me. NO NEW PARTS. just light bulbs,Oil changes, tune ups. One oxygen sensor in 12 years. Love my Hummer. Keep your $54000.00 trucks and the payments. NO payments. Let the cowboy show you how to get your money's worth out of a car.

JASON SQUIRE am about to buy hummer h3

[@joshingforfun]

I've had a Hummer H3 for over 4 years, it's got about 125k miles on it now, and it's been the most reliable vehicle I've ever had. I drove it through the mountains of Catalina Island for almost 3 years on pretty much only dirt roads, and then in Hawaii for half a year, and now in Florida for about a year. It's been great. I've had to replace the starter (the starter isn't super fun to replace because it's in a horrible location), and the sun roof drains have issues (easily fixable with a little time) but that's it. It's been a great vehicle. I've owned over 30 vehicles in my life span and seriously, it's been the most reliable. 2007 Hummer H3, with the 3.7 inline 5 cylinder. I have no idea what the H2's are like, and an H1 is in an entirely different catagory, but I have to disagree with Scotty (I love your channel Scotty, but I love my Hummer too), at least as far as H3's are concerned.

[@jackfleming7137]

But its oversized and get very low mpg

[@joshingforfun]

The H3 looks bigger than it really is, it's about the same size as a jeep cherokee. I get about 14 or 15 mpg around town, and about 16 to 17 on the highway, still not good, but not terrible. Obviously the H2 is bigger, and gets worse mileage, but that's not the vehicle we're talking about.

[@jackfleming7137]

@@joshingforfun Sorry, I haven't seen or been in any H3s only an H2 didn't know they made any major changes.

[@jsteele650]

I have an H3 too and I absolutely love it! People either love them or hate them. I have always wanted one and finally own one!

[@prince0fsains]

@@jackfleming7137 It's funny how times change. The H2 is 81" wide & 190" long. Most larger SUVs are now 79" to 80" wide & significantly longer. The H2 is on the smaller side in 2018. H3s are not large. 188" x 75" w x 73" H. H3s w/ the 5.3 get 13 city / 16 highway. Not much worse than trucks with the 5.3L, but H3s were geared for off roading...

[@Guitarplayer-hy4yv]

Congrats on 1.5 million! Scotty = a man of the people!

[@markdixon392]

Great, so watching this video 7,000 + people didn't really get the truth about the Hummer. The H1, H2 and H3 are all very different vehicles. H1 is closest to the military version to the HMMWV built in Mishawaka. The H2 was also assembled in Mishawaka and built on the GMT800 vehicle platform (Silverado / Tahoe / Yukon / etc). The 3 section frame design allowed for the many variants, and so the H2 was another GMT800 variant. H2 used a 6.0l Gen III Vortec engine (can't remember if it was LQ4, LQ9 or something like that) with a 4L60E or 4L65E trans although a few other engine trans combinations were available. So the H2 is just a GMT800 vehicle and just as reliable as the rest of them as it's not much different (insert opinion "reliable" or "not reliable"). The H2 body is unique, so that's a different complaint bucket. The H3 was based on the GM Small Truck platform and was much different. That was built in Shreveport and it was a variant of the GMT355. Not many common parts if I remember correctly, but same parts modified. The engine offering was also different than the GMT800's. I think they used the inline 5 liter plus a few other Small Truck engines. Transmission was 4L60E auto or Aisin manual. Again, the H3 body is unique, and hence another complaint bucket. Short answer: H1 was close to Humvee, H2 was a GMT800 full size truck, and H3 was a GM Small Truck. Don't want to be unkind, but I don't think the information in the video was accurate enough.

[@crazyeyez1502]

H3 had the 3.5L and then the 3.7L Atlas i5's that the Colorado/Canyons had. Not sure if they ever had the 4cyl Atlas motors in the h3. Of course, there was the H3 Alpha with the 5.3L when the pickups got it.

[@bossmansal67]

Mark Dixon Also don't forget the H2's 2008-2009 update when it got the new 6.2L Vortec (near 400hp) and a 6-speed auto for better fuel economy.

[@gordonlawrence4749]

I believe the last versions were what some call "blingmobiles" IE it's got to look good not run.

[@corvettelifejones8625]

[@supersingular]

"I’m in northern Canada, I’ve been a diesel mechanic & heavy equipment mechanic for 35 yrs. Sorry your assessment on the Hummers are wrong The H2 with the 6.0L Vortex are one of the most reliable and cheapest to fix 4X4 out here in the frozen north of Hudson-bay. Our camp runs 5 Hummers because of the reliability and they pretty much go anywhere. The auto trader value of Hummers up here are high you can’t find a 2006 for under $20k .. all the $10k are usually the 2003 H2’s Remember all these H2 & H3 Hummers used GM parts Bin parts used on other Trucks & SUV.. It’s 2018 and all our Hummers are still working & running can’t say that for our few pickups & Jeeps that never seem to start when the temp hits -35c (-32f) Last fall one of the Hummers had a flat and left out in the elements until we returned in March to that camp,couldn’t see the Hummer it was buried in drifts of snow over 5-6 ft. We dug out the H2 it slowly cranked and fired right up. Everyone lost that bet to our shift foreman who told us it would start without a boost. Anyway another thing you forgot to mention that Russian companies & Chinese companies up here are always trying to buy our Hummers to ship back to Russia. So all u people in the southern part of North America laugh all u want about GM Hummers but they earn their keep up here. Cheers from HudsonBay,Ontario 🇨🇦" said Luke Hanson.

Sidney Koen me too man I just bought an H3 about a year ago and I love it but I definitely want an H2. the H3 is pretty decent on gas I get around 18 City 20 Highway and better if I drive it at a reasonable speed. But if you really have the money I suggest looking into Plan B Hummers.I would love to get one of those military ones decked out with a Duramax. Anyway strike while the Iron's hot gas today where I lived was $2.11 a gallon great time to be a Hummer driver.

I have a Hummer 3. I spent $60 last year, to go 420 miles to visit a friend. Then $60 420 miles back. The only thing that had broke sense i have owned it 5 years, is the heater controlled box. The heat stopped working. I looked up how to fix it on youtube and fixed it myself. Then i get a recall notice in the mail. To late now, I already fixed it. The heat has been working fine for 4 years. I also changed all the brake pads. I do that anyways, like changing spark plugs and the oil. Stuff has to be done to keep them running safe for years. If you just drive them and don't keep up with them, they wont stay running long. My Hummer 3 has a 5 cylinder engine. I think it runs just fine. When it snows, it cant be stopped. And the Hummer 3 is the little Hummer. They are beasts off road. Very hard to stop a Hummer when going out back off road driving.

Thanks Scotty for the comments. I have watched many of your videos. I find them useful and mostly accurate. I have had a Hummer H3 for many years now and have found it to be the most reliable vehicle I have owned. It now has 212,000 miles on the 5 cylinder engine. At 160,000 miles, I had the automatic transmission rebuilt. That's pretty much the only issue I have had with it. The transmission shop said it was one of the cheapest and most produced automatic transmissions and rebuilt it completely for $1,300. That included the rebuild, a new torque converter, new fluid, removal and installation. The four wheel drive system is awesome. I don't know about the H1 and H2, but the H3 has been an awesome vehicle. It pretty much shares the same platform, engine and transmission as the Chevy Colorado and GMC Cannon. That helps to keep parts cheep. It is easy to work on. I agree that the 5 cylinder engine might be underpowered a little, but it seems to be tough. It has no problem cruising at 80 MPH. I mostly drive mine in D3, unless going over 65 MPH. That makes a difference. I also pull a small horse trailer and it does a great job at that. I have a 99 Tacoma that runs a close 2nd to the Hummer H3 in reliabilty. My thought is the H3 is a completely different vehicle from the H1 and H2 and deserves it own single evaluation.

Mark Dumagpi i miss my 2004 Chevrolet Impala, which was Chevrolets version of the Pontiac Grand Prix

[@SPARTANLuis067]

Mark Dumagpi Those would be pretty good cars honestly, if taken care of. That's not the best 3800 imo (series 2 was amazing and will be forever missed) but it made more power and is still very reliable with a solid sedan frame to boot. I'd buy one if I found it for a decent price

[@chevyfan1251992]

Reliable if recalls have been addressed and original Dexcool coolant is completely out of the engine. Head gasket failure can occur if not. This is coming from a 2003 Monte Carlo owner with the same block (Series 2)

Hummers are really really really gas guzzlers. One of my friend says he gets 9 miles a gallon on his hummer.

I think you mean 1 mile every 9 gallons. That sounds about right

[@raymondgross9135]

I had a 2007 Hummer H3 with the 5 cylinder engine. I got it used with only 32k miles on it and still under warranty. It was the biggest piece of crap ever. The transmission broke 3 times, the head once, and GM did not want fix the problems the right way, they were hoping to keep putting a band aid on it until the warranty ran out.

Scotty, I don't know if you read this, but I really enjoy listening to you when you talk about cars - it's because you're enthusiast and passionate. You can easily say that you really love cars.

[@DraccoKnightblade]

I love my H3, relatively easy to work on and parts are cheap, why? The I5 engine and drive train are right off the Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon. :D

[@benjaminwayneb]

You mean Isuzu, the Colorado and the 5 cylinder engine are made by Isuzu.

[@anthonywebber2211]

Atlas is a name for a family of modern inline piston engines for trucks from General Motors, used in the GMT 355 and GMT360 platforms. The series debuted in 2002 with the Oldsmobile Bravada, and is also used in the Buick Rainier, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer and Colorado, the GMC Envoy and Canyon, the Hummer H3, Isuzu Ascender and i-370, and the Saab 9-7X. The engines use GM's Vortec name, and I4, I5, and I6 engines are all part of the same family, sharing the same manufacturing equipment, rods, pistons, valves, and other parts

[@anthonywebber2211]

benjaminwayneb you must have a Isuzu branded Dildo, cause according to you Isuzu makes everything

Actually the hummer h2 has awesome resale value. Up here in canada people sell em for 10k plus. Also they are very reliable as i know a few people who own them

[@f2.8vidz4]

Jon17 I’m in northern 🇨🇦 .. I’ve been a diesel mechanic & heavy equipment mechanic for 35 yrs.. Sorry your assessment on the Hummers are wrong The H2 with the 6.0L Vortex are one of the most reliable and cheapest to fix 4X4 out here in the frozen north of HudsonBay🇨🇦 Our camp runs 5 Hummers because of the reliability and they pretty much go anywhere.. The auto trader value of Hummers up here are high you can’t find a 2006 for under $20k .. all the $10k are usually the 2003 H2’s Remember all these H2 & H3 Hummers used GM parts Bin parts used on other Trucks & SUV.. It’s 2018 and all our Hummers are still working & running can’t say that for our few pickups & Jeeps that never seem to start when the temp hits -35c (-32f) Last fall one of the Hummers had a flat and left out in the elements until we returned in March to that camp,couldn’t see the Hummer it was buried in drifts of snow over 5-6 ft.. We dug out the H2 it slowly cranked and fired right up Everyone lost that bet to our shift foreman who told us it would start without a boost.. Anyway another thing you forgot to mention that Russian companies & Chinese companies up here are always trying to buy our Hummers to ship back to Russia So all u people in the southern part of North America laugh all u want about GM Hummers but they earn their keep up here Cheers from HudsonBay,Ontario 🇨🇦

[@londonwatson7342]

It was likely made it Canada. Canadians make really good cars. Our American companies are very corrupt and intentionally make our cars poorly so they break down and make us need to buy another one. Especially with these companies where the parts that work with the vehicle are OEM exclusive, that way the manufacturer gets even more money.

[@brockoneill7330]

Dad has an 06 H2 with around 150k miles. Runs great and the only thing that’s been replaced was the parking break cable which snapped at about 130k. We also had to replace the locking mechanism in the tailgate but that’s the sort of thing to expect with a mid 2000s GM interior!

The main reason I love Scottys channel is because he tells it like it is and tells the truth. It’s the only way to know what to spend your money on. He’s not like the other people on KZbin who lie and tell you that every car is the best and they never tell the flaws of the car.

Your comment about convertibles reminds me of when I was an auto transporter and WAS doing dealer swaps and kept picking up brand new Toyota solstice convertibles in las Vegas and sending them up to Seattle. I asked the gm of the Vegas dealership why he was swapping all his convertibles for sedans? He said nobody who's drove a convertible in the Vegas summer will do it twice, and people in Seattle only get a few days of nice weather a year and its comfortable for having the top down.😎😎😎
