Here we go again...someone heard someone else say that they in turn heard someone else say, or the infamous, "the dealer said so."

Re: V8 H3 Alpha
Model change this year for Colorado, Canyon and H3 will be toward the end of June. You wouldn't see any 2008 models in quanity at a dealership until September.

Re: V8 H3 Alpha
Just remember first 2 weeks of July is vacation down time at GM. You might call the Hummer help number and ask when you could order a 2008. But options change from year to year and that information might not be available if you order too early.

I suppose that's true. The conversation was pretty cut and dried, though.
I was just surprised that it would be the V8 over the Turbo I5. I would think the V8 would end up with lousy mileage over the Turbo. I didn't think the H3 had any power problems except trying to pass at highway speeds...
I guess I'm not the first person to overhear H3 engine rumors at the dealership....

Re: V8 H3 Alpha
yea yea just like it was gonna come with a v8. then it was getting a v8 and it got a 3.7 insted now its another v8 rumor. I seriously doubt you will ever see a v8 in it. It doesnt even have a 6. Im sure your chances of a 6 are far better.

Two things, bigger motor does NOT mean worse mileage. Our Denali gets almost the same mileage as our H3. The engine has to work less hard. With the H3, any hill, any towing, and you're testing the pedal to floor minimal clearance quite frequently. With the Denali, you NEVER squash the carpet unless you mean it! We had a 5.3 Yukon before our 6.0 Denali. The 6.0 performs much better and gets even better mileage than the 5.3.
The H3 is heavy beyond it's size, and it needs a larger motor accordingly for people that are used to having performance on the road because face it, the H3 is used on the road.
The H3 most certainly has a power problem, unless you're not used to anything else. It's more than adequate, particularly offroad because of the 4.56 gears and the 4:1 tcase.
IF they ever put the V8 in there, they'll most certainly need to upgrade the axles. Mine's in the shop for the second time for the rear end. (no biggy, they're covering it, I'm ok) I'd LOVE to see a 6.0 with a portal driven front axle with locker, and a Corporate 14 bolt with e-locker. THEN, you'd have what I'd consider worthy of the Alpha badge.

Re: V8 H3 Alpha
Turbo has NEVER been considered. Now if they did put a V8 in the H3, and I'm only speculating, the mileage would no be off that much from the I-5, and might be better on the highway end. That is if they add a V8 with active fuel management (aka displacement on demand), as they do in the 6.2 liter in the Escalade. There will not be a 6.2L so don't anyone get all excited about that sentence.
I would imagine, if there was a V8 coming, the rear axle would stay the same, but the front axle would be different. Rear axle is strong, and in those cases where one was replaced and then it went, I would bet under the majority of cases, it was incorrectly installed by the technician. There was some problems with early axles having lapping compound left on the ring/pinion gears from the AAM factory.
As for power, I feel the 3.5L is adequate on the highways and off-road. Then again, for power take the Vette out, for normal driving on the highways take the H3. No, it will not beat the Mustang, but let's face it, most people don't race the engine and want to drag an H3, and vice versa.
If I can keep it at 80 plus on the interstates without straining the engine, then I don't have a problem with a vehicle's performance. Again, if I want to be the quickest off the line, I will take out 700+ HP in a 3000 lb car.

Re: V8 H3 Alpha
After waiting over a year to get my 07 H3..I am not the least bit dissipointed in power of the H3. Why...well for one I realize what this Rig is. It's a 4900 lb SUV with 33" tires and 4 wheel drive. It's got great balls off the line and zips thru traffic just like any other vehical out their.
It handles grate..stops very well and has excellent manors. I also understand that it lacks some power for passing...but I take this into account when driving and passing. It's an SUV..not my 65 Corvette with a 502 BB.... That's a different story.
