I actually have a question that may sound stupid, but it's been bothering me. All other GMC trucks run normally in 2HI, why did the H2 not at least come with selectable 2HI and wouldn't this have helped gas mileage....please be nice, I know this is probably a dumb question

Seth, the gas mileage gain would probably be very small as you still have the weight issue and the UN-aerodynamic aspect of the shape of the H2. The only real issue that would effect mileage would be increased friction due to having to provide power through more points.

For instance, I also have a Yukon XL Denali that is full time 4WD, weighs nearly the same as the H2 but gets about 17mpg. It's due to slicker aerodynamics and the fact that the Denali is geared with 3.73 differentials.
