I dont know if I would buy a truck with a replaced piston and rod. Nor do I know why one would fail. Do you know if the injector on the No. 7 cylinder was replaced too? If so then it probably stuck open and could have ruined the piston/rod, but it usually will trash the bore of the cylinder too. HUMMER should have replaced that engine IMO. Everything else on the list is the normal stuff that fails on an H1, but I too would have a hard time getting past that No. 7 piston/rod.

thanks for the reply the truck has 57 thousand miles and they want 38,999 its actually a hummer dealer and they took it in on trade.

I don't have a very good feeling about it. There are plenty of others out there. Keep looking.

[meathook]

ok thanks i guess if it looks like a skunk,smells like a skunk, walk away

the search goes on............

[audiofetish]

Not a good deal!!!!! Keep on looking. I have a 99 that I could do 28k.. As for the 2000 That kind of asking price should be for a very good condition truck with no issues or history....

[meathook]
