I recommend the warranty if you plan on running it stock and using it off-road. (NO BRAINER) There are a good number of expensive computer controls, modules or switchs etc. that computer controls operate. There is huge markup on the prices of the extended warranty so rub the finance guys last nerve till you think he is going to throw you out and lose the deal. I got 6 years with 60,000 miles for around $1550.00. Just keep telling the closer to give you wholesale fleet price which he will claim with clinched teeth that he cannot do it. This is because it is where you are getting into the closers pocket now he gets a commision but, keep in mind that for closer a small piece of something is better than a huge piece of nothing.

If you plan many mods for your rig the warranty would be entirely decided upon how your dealer feels about mods to your rig. Tell the dealer up front what you have in mind as well as how you feel the dealer will benefit from your plan and see how he reacts plus (more importantly) after talking to GM at dealer then go to service manager and ask him because in reality he is the one who will most likely get modified stuff through warranty or not anyway. Some dealers are not sympathetic to mod ideas and some as in my case have backed me whole heartedly. Part of it is i have kept my word getting attention to the dealer in shows around the state. I have been in the yearly auto show in our state capitol that my dealer is the sponsor of the show as they have many brands with their name on them. That makes them happy plus I have won every year our open state title Hummer only show. This makes dealer very happy as most of old time members on forum know as I have mentioned that we had been having out of state Hummers coming in and taking our state titles. This was also including the quite lavish first place winnings my dealer gave out. I made the commitment to stop the out of state rigs and have won every year since my first Hummer only show of 2004 with my 2005 H2. This year will be the 4th in a row. I got my baby May 28, 2004 a 2005 model so I was qualified to enter. I did so with modest amounts of mods but, very selective easy cosmetic things that made the new Stealth Gray color really pop. Plus I picked things that no one had seen yet by talking some manufacturers to actual sponsor or sell at really good prices some prototypes that were not due out on market for another 6 months or a year.
So that made it easier to win until Dragon came on board and helped me take my baby to another level entirely. Dragon has not even figured out yet on how to do some things I have in my head and just the same he has some ideas that he has not even told me about yet along with some that I'm having to rattle around in my head yet till i can decide YES or NO. I have rarely said NO and it is hard to recall any I did say no to, OH I did say NO to 22" TIS rims and i think that is it all. Oh another was lowering the rig. I think that was one of his suggestion but, may have been the shop boss suggestion come to think of it.

So you really need to put some thought to it as well and more importantly do some investigative work. Concerning mods it is a simple thing to press the issue that with dealers name on the rig it will draw more attention to dealers name just from casual stop by lookers. One thing I did was talk to service manager early and said hey I can get press for dealer by adding the supercharger etc. and actually take it to dragstrip hopefully eating some rice rockets that type of thing. Try to get special warranty coverage that you are wanting in writing which you likely will not get it but, the only stupid question is the one that is not asked.

Good Luck,
