Honestly I would pass it up then. A new engine is not cheap, to have a HUMMER dealer install it will run you between 12-15K depending on the dealer. If you really do have your heart set on it though just get it pressure tested like I said earlier, that will tell you weather or not the engine is bad. If it is still good and you would like to buy the truck there is one thing you can do, add a rear head cooling kit. There is an HML member that has a 97.5 with over 130K on the odo with its original engine, he put the kit on almost immediately purchasing the truck. Thought I will say, a cooling kit will NOT guarantee that you wont have the engine fail, its insurance, nothing more.
