The car has been checked at 2 different Hummer dealerships for this issue. but they have not been able to reproduce the issue. I can however reproduce it most any time I want to.
There was another thread here where it was talked about that it could be an alarm wiring issue. We had all of the wiring associated with the alarm redone a few weeks ago. We even replaced the alarm.
I'm pretty sure this is a heat related electrical problem. We just have not been able to find it.
BTW: hmcoleap. I liked your ANSI Hummer. So I edited it to match my car.

X2 Check the starter.
Second, I agree with ssgharkness020147 -- PMD/FSB is at the top of my suspect list for your symptoms. Did you try the "dump water" trick yet?

I'm glad you were not offended that I used it and stretched it. i was actually a little worried about that because I'm sure it took you a lot of time to create in the first place.
As for trying things yet. Sad story. I broke down in Sacramento 5 weeks ago on my way to Portland. We lost the transfer case and the transmission was very near end of life. It's at the Hummer of Sacramento dealership. I told them to go ahead and replace the transmission as well. What I didn't know was that the military has a high demand for these transmissions. So mine is on back order. 5 weeks later I'm hoping to get it back soon.

Manny,
Do you remember the name of the company that was talked about over on the HML a year or two ago that was out of Cali that built those bad ass 4L80-E's. I know that could be built to handle something like 800 HP and over 1500 FT/LB's?

I would be interested to learn about this other transmission option though. I have it in my plans to buy another H! that is a slantback and get it stretched by 200". So I may run into the same issues with that.

I actually had some lengthy discussions with some transmission experts a few years ago when I replaced mine that made me decide to go with a stock replacement instead - not for financial reasons, but because they convinced me that the standard version was better... some interesting differences in opinions out there about "hardened" gears that are rated for higher HP breaking sooner vs. softer metal that gives a little, etc.

If it is a real 2000 factory slantback, don't cut it - there were less than 40 of those made!
