That red one with the chrome package is mine. Looks like they have enough to ship to all the dealers wonder whats the holdup.
|
So, are these flicks before or after the final quality control checks prior to shipment to the dealers?
|
My educated best guess on the hold up:
If we presume that GM is doing this intentionally, then it is most likely that they want to get a minimum amount of stock on hand to distribute it equitably among the dealers on the roll out date and not just have it dribble in. |

So far I’ve only heard good things about them from the PEP drivers I know that are driving them. |
I understand they are releasing them today for shipment to dealers. Was waiting for the official go ahead from GM and or Hummer to ship.

Next time use a wide lens to give us the full
effect ![]() |
So, if they ship today, when should they arrive at dealers?
|
H3 builder....The pride you put into this car reminds me of the movie Gung Ho. You don't look like Micheal Keaton do you. I hope the H3 comes out better than that car at the end of that movie.

Any overtime yet builder?
|
Some overtime. Alot comming soon. Go ahead every one and buy 2.
|
Unfortunately, there was a glitch and they are still on hold. Hopefully they will be released soon. But we want to make sure everyone has a excellent H3, with no problems.
|
Glitch, what glitch. You mean they are not shipping yet?
|
Did someone forget to put the T Case in them?

Look on the good side....they found a problem before they were shipped and the vehicles clearly are at the place best suited to fix any problems. Send these to the rental agencies.....
|
When will the glitch be fixed?When will they start to be shipped?
By the way, how are you shipping them?(train, big rig, etc.) |
Still no change, still on hold. Shouldn't be too long. They will be shipped by truck, train, and boat in some cases.
|
Can you tell us what problem was found? If not now, can you tell us after it is fixed?
|
funpilot, that info about the "glitch"
is probably Top Secret info, both before and after the fix... I'll be Germany for the rest of this month so I don't mind the H3 delay at all! Not many SUVs in Germany, but lots of very fast and solid cars on the AutoBahn. It would cost more to rent a VW Touareg than this Mercedes SLK, for example: ![]() (Which would you prefer - VW Touareg or Hummer H3?) Guess how much gasoline costs in Germany right now -- EUR 1.20 for 1 litre = EUR 4.54 for 1 gallon = $5.85 per gallon! |
Not sure, but I know it's minor. Just don't want little nagging things to be wrong. The last thing everyone would want is to have your truck at the dealer for something minor. I know, my truck, when new, I had to leave it at the dealer for 2 days for a oxygen sensor that wasn't calibrated right. So hold tight and it won't be long before youall will get them.
|
As a person who ordered early, I applaud GM's attempt to deliver the best truck they can. As a pilot, I know it is always best to find the problem on the ground (in this case, at the plant), so please tell everyone there that we prefer to get it right than get it early. Having said that, I will now swallow another handful of valium to keep me calm .....
