Okay ... I'm calling GM now.

Don't give up! and keep pushin up the ladder. Try to find out the GM reps number. You start buggin him and things will happen. I know that threating to paint you truck with a big lemon and roll up to the tv news is always a great bluff. Call every day on the truck and get a meeeting with the dealership owner, GM, anyone! gotta keep pushin

This will be the likely outcome anyway, given the slew of issues others have had with the differentials.

I can only hope. I didn't get the 'promised' call back from GM/Hummer this morning. Sooo, I called back and left a message. The woman called me back an hour later apologizing, but that she was told she had to speak to the service writer who was handling the paperwork for my H3... so she wanted to wait before calling me back. I told her the the service writer only typed up what the service mgr had told her to input into the computer and didn't know the story. Longer story somewhat shorter .. she asked if I had wanted to 'escalate' my issue to the next step. I said "Absolutely!" I told her what I REALLY want while the 3 is at the dealer having the hood+ painted is to have a Hummer rep go and check out my problem. The service mgr at the dealer had already told me yesterday that as far as they are concerned, the grind is normal and that's that. I'll keep you posted.

Good luck with this one.

Thanks for the support. Got another call from GM/Hummer 2 hours ago. They spoke to the dealer Serv. Mgr. He said he test drove a new 2006 H3 and another H3 in for servicing - both made the grind sound in the rear. I'm so frustrated and not in the mood for all of this stuff. GM/Hummer said the Regional Hummer Rep will be contacting me by the end of the week. I think I should be getting back my 3 in a couple of days after the painting. I was also thinking about all of the OnStar and XM time I had pre-paid for on my 3 and not being able to use. My loaner doesn't have either. <grrrrrrrrrrrrr>
