What did you do with your H3 recently? NEW

[Korby7]

I’ve had a plasti-dipped grill for a few years but end up redoing it every spring as the small rock chips allow water behind the plati-dip which turns to ice in the Utah winters and pushes the plati-dip off. May not be as much of an issue in warmer climates. I plan on going to bed liner after this winter. It’s kind of a PITA process to re-do that often. I also have behind the fake hood vent blacked out with plasti-dip and it has held up better where it doesn’t get the direct impact of road debris but is still getting chalky after roughly 2 years.

My H3’s previous owner plastidipped the mirrors. It’s been peeling since I got it, so I stripped it off this past weekend. Trying to decide if I like the black or chrome better. I’m thinking the chrome is a bit much since I’ve got so much black going on.

It depends on your idea of survival. Its not an alternative to paint (which when done well would last 10+ years) but if you want an easy do it yourself thing and cheap then this is the way to go.
Paint it, wait to dry, dnt like it? Peel it (not easily but its peelable). It will probably last more than a year.

mmm okai, paint it is then! I'm about 99% sure I'll prefer it black. My H3 is a "gold" colour, and the previous owners stuck chrome on everything, and I mean stuck it... literally super glued the covers on :| .. but when I bought it I already knew that would be turned black because it's just a little too "glitzy/ bling" for my taste so just trying to find the best way to do it.

I see.. maybe the sand will cause the same effect here..? I don't know, I just want to do it in a way where it will last and I won't have to keep worrying about it. I have other things I need to fix on her first though (manifold sensors, y pipe, axle leak, diff bushes, sway bar needs replacing, starting issue... the list goes on)

Rebuilt a trailer, new rear bumper being made. As a side note does anyone have the wiring schematics for our stock backup camera? I ripped the pins out on accident and don’t know which colors go in which slot.

I’m in the process of performing surgery on the H3.

I’m going to install new lower ball joints, bushings pretty much everywhere, upper control arms, tie rod ends, a cv axle, both axle seals, new hub assemblys, rotors and pads all the way around, and new brake fluid. I think that’s it, until I find something else to replace while I’ve got it torn apart.
I’m also going to re-paint the calipers.

Please wish me luck lol. If you have any tips or tricks, I’m all ears.

Goodluck with the LCA rear bushing. PITA to remove.

What's your fender to center of hub measurements? Front looks a bit higher.

You're right. It's a little uneven. The front is a hair under 28 inches and the rear is only 27.5 inches. It may be the gear in the back weighing it down or the dreaded rancho sag I've seen people post about, who knows. I was thinking about maybe getting some Schwarttzy extended shackles to even it out.

My real issue is keeping the rear even (left-to-right). Since I bought the truck, one side always seems like it sits uneven. Sometimes the it seems back passenger side is lower, sometimes back driver side is lower. After the lift, it seems like the back passenger is lower most of the time. :huh:

Thank you, but not that.. I mean where is the place in the car where is located connector from knock sensor 2 bank 2 ? First connector located on sensor... i have checked it twice ! it is good... no rust, contacts ok.. from this connector goes two wires and they hide in big pack of wires. My question is - where in the car i can find the connector to which these two wires from the knock sensor 2 bank 2 go ? I think only an electrician can help me. Or someone who know well electric scheme of hummer h3.... Thank you for reading my crazy writings... sorry for bad english.

Here's the schematic diagram for the knock sensors. Hope it helps.

Haha. I’ve spent a few lunch breaks like that.

With the help of a great mechanic friend we replaced steering rack, power steering pump, idler pulley, tensioner pulley, both motor mounts ( bad shape), and both CV's. All were not too much of a PITA but it's always easier with a master mechanic. The motor mounts while inplace didn't look bad but a preemptive decision was a wise one. Both were bad, couldn't see the tears until after they were removed. If you have an I5 with over 100k you should consider replacing the motor mounts, vibrations are reduced a lot.

Did you use an engine hoist to support the motor when replacing the engine mounts? How did you end up supporting the engine?

Yeah that’s a good question, some cars it’s easy to prop the motor up, high clearance 4x4’s maybe not so easy.
