Re: My h2 and water
swoffy....just be aware of the fact that the air intake to your engine is bascially about 3 inches from the level of the water you were in and had you gotten any deeper or a wake from your passing through the water came up higher you would have ruined your engine. Like others have said....Hummer gives you a max ford depth...if you go deeper things are going to happen.....and those things aint cheap to fix.
Its a Hummer....which means its very capable off road, but it does have its limitations...
Great vid by the way.

Re: My h2 and water
When you tip up your hood, look on the passenger side above the front wheel and you will see where the air intake is. Now compare that to the first video that you had on the post and you will see on the drivers side where the water level was...like i said...inches away from damage.
Just know the machine and its limits and you will be fine if you dont exceed those limits by too much.....In the immortal words of Dirty Harry...

Re: My h2 and water
thanks for the advice mike......
how about a do it yourself for all these fluids?
be sweet if i could change myself so i could do more often.......
i seem to get into water and mud often during the summer months 
i also thought at one point i got a little bog from the motor in that water........ is it possible to take in a bit of water with no damage?

Re: My h2 and water
well one can do most anything oneself if they have the knowledge and tools. Lots of great people on this site with way more mechanical know how than me...ask around I am sure they'll help you out with that question.
I really dont know what the tolerance of the H2's engine is with respect to water getting into it. I would suspect that it isnt going to tolerate too much water.
