The only thing that I can tell you is for 99% of the 2005.5-2008.5 builds that the 6th and 7th number denotes if its a adventure or not. If its a 13 its going to not be a base or X. If its a 33 it will 99% of them time be a adventure but in some cases it will be a base. No matter what though a base will never have the 13. I buy used hummers and strip them down to parts for resale. Since February 2009 Ive been focusing on hummers (we do all GM vehicles, non commercial) and are starting to do ford and dodge but only the most popular models. Ive seen quite a few H3's from the early 2005's to the new 2010's/ Now Ive only taken apart 1 2010 H3T but over I cant tell you how many 2005-2009 Ive found 2 base models that had the 33 in them and then I found 1 in my national search for my own personal H3. And yes the alphas have the 33.

Now if you look in your glove box (if they didnt remove it) you will find a sticker that will give you information. the WA# is your paint code and the NR6 or NR4 denotes the drive train parts.

Hope this helps a little.

Some notes from this forum a few years ago...

Example: 5GTDN136968105387

This is a VIN breakdown for GM light trucks, different than used for Cars or Medium Duty Trucks.

5 Country of Build (1,4,5 denote USA)
G World Make Modifier G = Hummer
T H3
D GVWR/Brake System D = 5001-6000 GVWR Range (lbs) Hydraulic brakes
N Line Chassis N = Hummer
1 Series 1 - 4x4
3 Body Type 3 = Four-door cab/utility
6 Engine Type 6 = L52, 3.5L L5, MFI
9 Check digit (randomly generated)
6 Model Year 6 = 2006
8 Manufacturing Plant 8 = Shreveport, LA
105387 VIN Sequence number. First digit (1) is not used on this vehicle for VIN range and may change from year-to-year. For example, one year it might be 1, the following year 5. If the plant will produce greater than 99,999 vehicles it will be used and wil be zero until the 100,000 vehicle is produced. In this case, this vehicle was the 5,387 H3 to be issued a VIN.
