Hummer Forums by Elcova - sell 04 h2 for a 01 H1

Make sure you get a 01 LATE BUILD with the "F" vin change. The Z vin build had 8 cyl crack issues. DO NOT RISK IT unless ypu have $15,000 to replace the engine :-) I learned the hard way on my 01 "Z" vin build.:crying:

One of the most visible changes for the 2001 model year is the larger mirrors first seen on the 2000 Slantback. They offer enhanced visibility and are heated. 17" alloy wheels were offered for the first time in '01 and the Monsoon radio was available in Open Top models for the first time. The 6.5L engine supply from AM General's new manufacturing subsidiary, General Engine Products LLC, began showing up in Hummers mid year 2001 and are distinguished by a change in the 4th digit of the VIN from "Z" to "F". A welcome change for long time Hummer owners was a substantial upgrade to the Idler and Pitman arms. Many older Hummers have upgraded to these much improved components. Other changes included armrests on the rear seats, new door armrests and a revised dash layout.
