HUMMER H2 IS GREAT IN THE MUD!!!!!

[Gary]

Arizona HummerBoy,

Please don't take this the wrong way. Previously, there were three H2's that needed their alternators replaced. They all were at the Gorman event that The HUMMER Club, Inc. organized. What happened is they went into the mud pit there and went through it the same way you previously described and the mud got into the engine compartment and entered into the alternator. After a few hours on the trails, the H2's stopped running because their alternators fried and the battery drained down. Please check your engine compartment to see if your alternator is sending back a charge to your battery. Otherwise, you may end up stuck somewhere and have no power. I don't believe the alternators were covered as warranty issue. Because what the other H2 owners did was considered excessive abuse when off roading and wasn't in the approved specs of the H2. If I am incorrect on this observation from past H2 events, someone please chime in and set the record straight. Here are some previous posts on the issue.

I'll have you know that I had to wash my H2 when I got home....and some dirt
even made its way onto my floor mats. Sheesh....I drag some fresh 'meat' onto
the list and I'm taking flack already. That's okay, not only can I take
it...I enjoy it ; )

Okay, I admit....I didn't go through the mud-pit (not even once!)....but for
good reason: I wanted some clean shots of my rig on some of the obstacles and
other stuff....after that I had planned on hitting the pit. Only flaw in my
plan is that I didn't anticipate all you mud-whompers spillin' most the water
out from the pit. Then, alternators starting going down. In light of
alternators dropping rigs from activities....your bet I steered clear from
the pit-of-alternator-doom. Besides...what's mud spelled backwards?

I am throwing myself at the mercy of the list: absolve me of the criminally
clean act. If the mud don't stick, you must acquit!

....and don't worry Craig, I won't tell everyone that you went up those steep
hills because your confidence in knowing both your rear AND front lockers
were engaged!
