Re: R&R Rear Axle
As I try to make up my mind what to purchase, there is a 5sp - Adventure Pkg H3 on dealer's lot. But I know it has been there since early Oct 2005. So I worry about the rear differential issue. Plus, I wonder how much 'true' offroading I'd do, and perhaps only need a non adventure H3.

Re: R&R Rear Axle
I know! I know! I should just get off my arse and do it!
Anyone know off hand what the build date is I should be looking for, after which they fixed the rear diff lap compoiund issue? I guess I could do a search and try to find it.
And now is the time to buy, with $1500 off the adv pkg version! What AM I waiting for?

Re: R&R Rear Axle
So, can any GM affiliated folks out here look up an H3 build date if I get you the VIN?

Re: R&R Rear Axle
There are several here that could look it up. You can also get a rough idea by looking at the date (month/year) on the sticker in the lower right corner of the driver door jam.

Re: R&R Rear Axle
I think I missed something here ... did someone say the rear axle problem is more prevalent with H3 build dates PRIOR to August, 05 .. but not build dates AFTER 8/05? Thanks.

I said the exact same thing in regards to needing the Adventure Package...hindsight is 20/20. I love to wheel...and I'm a girly girl....noone would have ever expected it.
If you can afford the extra $$$....go w/ the Adventure...IMOH.
AND...check the build date before you buy!!!! |

As they say in hind sight, if I had to do it again, I would get the adventure package.
It would just be good to know the rear locker is there if you need it. |

Re: R&R Rear Axle
I hate to admit it, but I haven't off-roaded mine yet. Straight street driving (I know, I know ...). Would I have had to do something to it (front R & P / R & R Rear Axle) for it to be making this whine sound, or, is it just defective? Mannnn .... I love my H3, but it has gone in so many times already for different things.
