Shhhhhh. Don't try to confuse anyone with facts. We all know the H2 is just a re-bodied Tahoe  .
All that talk just reminds me of all the rocks I had to stack for the truck (6 inch lift, big tires) that went with us on the White Mtn. run..................all the Hummers made it, even the H1's . |

At least one guy is trying to straighten them out on the H2 frame.

It's so tough trying to re-educate the narrow-minded. |

I was actually thinking of getting one for the wife. But I might either go with the H3 or wait until the hybrid tahoe comes out.... We'll see. She loves them...

It would make these guys happier if the Hummer series of vehicles was named H1...H1/2...H1/3...etc.

Tim, now it's the transmission. Just because there is not a big allison they will complain about that. The L65 was originally developed for the 6.0L engine that's in the Denali and others. It is rated to handle 400+ HP and ft/lbs of torque. It uses a case thats the same in size as the L60 that this guy is really thinking of but the guts are "beefed up" considerably. It's a stronger transmission than the old TH400 that was used forever in 3/4 ton GM trucks. Here are some of the upgrades for the L65: five-pinion gears for input and reaction gearsets (versus four-pinion gears in the L60), heat-treated stator shaft splines, induction hardened turbine shaft, heavier-duty low/reverse roller clutch, additional friction plate added to 3-4 clutch (seven plates versus six in L60), and shot-peened output shaft.
Please ask him to point to all of the vehicles with the L65 as the standard transmission.

I would be a troll since I have no CO ties right now and have no idea of the trails up there. No point in doing the board war thing. I just figure if you bounce the facts around a bit, it won't be so much brand bashing. Give them the facts and if the still want run down the H2, oh well, they'll come around eventually when they follow one up a trail

timgco great job over on the other site!!!!
I went and read from begining to end. some came in after You and went back to the that is or not a h1 deal but I saw no response to Your points except comment again on price. Hang in there You and PARAGON have done Us proud so keep check on it. I really liked the point about You mentioning it being a 4X4 site but here a brand is being knocked.
I jst realised Man would they have a cow and a calf if they saw My Mall Queen.

It's still just typical BS about another brand and using misinformation to make a point. The 6.0 had a "knock" that GM recognized as an issue but a non-issue since it did not cause any damage. This was in the early 6.0L engines and the engine in my denali is one of those. Basically, best I can tell, is that there is an extended break-in issue because it is only noticeable if there is bad carbon buildup at the throttle body with the A/C on and it drops the RPM to 500 or just below if you have over 50K miles on the engine. You might here the slap then. But up to at least 20K the slap is noticeable.
To my knowledge no H2s experienced this problem. And this is not something that develops, it is something that is there from when you drive it off the lot due to the tight tolerances between the top of the piston and the bottom of the head. So, the slap issue is a non-issue where H2s are concerned IMO.
