On air filters, I want to improve the H2's breathing. I have notice that most of the aftermarket filters are of the open type. There has been some discussion on this board relating to noise and possible water ingestion from the open filter arrangement. Would a K&N filter in the factory box work almost as well with out the problems?
On tires, My truck was delivered with 30 lbs. in each tire. The door sticker clearly indicates 37 lbs as the correct pressure. After going to 37 lbs I noted a 2 mpg improvement on the trucks computer along with better performance. Can I go higher and still maintain even long term tire wear?
How many miles can I expect out of the stock tires if I keep them properly inflated for everyday driving?
I’m not an off-roader and most of my driving is within 100 miles of home. The worst terrain my H2 will see is grass, so, I’m considering the removal of the spare tire from my H2. In the interior it occupies too much space and blocks rear vision. Mounting it on the rear also blocks rear vision and hinders easy access to the rear hatch. Roof mounting is out because it will not clear my garage entrance. It has been my experience that today’s high quality tires rarely blow out, if
they do pick up a nail or a screw they will still run but slowly leak air. My intension is to carry a 12 volt air pump and a few large cans of stop leak just incase I pickup something away from home. This sounds
workable to my, is there anything I’m missing?
Thanks

I am new to this site.. I find it interesting how unrelated comments(not H2) mirror other sites. I spend part of my work day answering questions on our web page and folks just go off on the littlest things... So anyway. Go for a new intake.. hell they are only a couple hundred dollars.. if you do not like it throw it away or sell on ebay.. I put an Air Raid on my H2 2 weeks ago.. Do not know if it does anything other then I know it is on their. Just like the last 12 GM trucks ( suv).. I will be adding an exhaust as soon as I can determine which one.. Shoot guys and gals we spent in excess of $45K for the toys whats another few dollars for more toys.

I don't like Alec either, he's really a jerk.
Hey Alec,
How are the plans coming on the L.A. trip? I have been planting seeds with my family to come out to Colorado for the 4th of July. We'll see how far I get. I expect some expert spotting from you and the CO crew.
BTW, I love violent games, it keeps me from doing it in real life  |

GOBI= Gobi roof rack...see ad/website this page to the left
On-Star can't plug tire...but the guy they call to come out to help you can/might. Just tell them when you make the call that you have NO spare and need a service that can plug tires and re-inflate roadside.

Welcome!!!
On the air filter issue...I use the Xtreme flow unit. It does exactly as you describe. It puts a K&N like flter within the factory airbox. Very easy to install. Give them a call.
On the spare...I went with the exterior spare tire carrier. Not too much trouble to swing away from the rear for access but the wife does complain. I may go with a Gobi down the road as I don't garage my ride. As others say...you have On-Star too!!!

Dennis,
Nope, don't buy it....
Insult me all you want...
I didn't say I agree with the statement... but it's close..."NO Islamic radicals = NO terrorism"
...but I don't "need" to understand the "Muslim"....WHAT I DO understand is that they will not compromise no matter how much YOU understand them.
Islamic radicals would slit your throat and your families and watch you bleed to death as they laugh...UNDERSTAND THAT DENNIS.
A least a dozen terrorist happenings can be attributed to Islamic radicals.....
I may be "stupid" but you are "naive"....naive to think your PC "compromise & understand" crap will work in the mind of a terrorist???
Oh..by the way...
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of PanAm Flight 103!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the military barracks in Saudi Arabia!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the American Embassies in Africa!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the USS COLE!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM attack on the Twin Towers on 9/11/2001!
Etc...etc....Yes, Dennis, I understand them....
Disclaimer: Subgunner, I apologize for the off-topic hijacking of this thread but this really hits home for me.

Now why are you louts picking on Alec? he is a good guy and has done nothing wrong here except express his feelings. Who cares what he does online in his free time. At least he isn't being racist like subgunner who is obviously way too into his little miniscule world to understand that he is a racist *******.

Dennis,
Do as you like...
I don't need your respect or the respect from Alec...and I don't need to "belong" to your little "club" to feel "respected".
You say I insulted him? What about his conduct??...his insults???...his wrongs???
Alec has respect here for a reason....like-likes-like.
Read back...Alec (and dear Phil) is the one that took this thread where it is....so don't jump on me Dennis. I responded with a decent answer to Subgunner earlier...Alec responded with his "holier-than-thou" crap.
If he didn't like his tag-line...report him to the Mod.
Enough said....

Alec, you act like a child and you sound like a child. Now it's name calling, racist, ingorant redneck, you are realy going to hurt my feelings.
But I guess it's understandable when I looked at the number of posts you have made,1438 in less than a year. It seems you have much to say about everything, the medical term for this malady is "diarrhea of the mouth."
And, after reading your dimwitted Gang Wars thread it is obvious I am dealing with children... This New York Redneck spends his time buying real estate and speculting in the equities market, not playing make beleive on the computer. Your all right, I won't be posting much here.
Good Night Children and please don't fight over who gets to be the drug dealer.

Subgunner, you can't ask to stay on topic when you use a radical signature line like yours on every post.
You can either change it, or expect criticism.
I have to say I agree with PhilD. 60 years ago we had a world leader that spouted off the same rhetoric. The "Final Solution" didn't turn out too well, did it?
Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

On tire presure
B]FORD EXPLORER!!!![/b] 
Follow the tire manufacturer reccomendations printed ON the tire.
You'll read lots about people messing with tire pressures but that revolves around off-roading & traction.
Keep a tire gauge in your Hummer and check the pressures often. |

Lighten up guys! My tag line does not say anything about killing a billion Muslims.
Phil D, I think you need to go back to reading school.
It is deceivingly simple, it displays my dislike for radical Muslims and the many non-radical Muslims who condone, protect and even defend them. It is a reminder, so we will not forget the death and horror brought to us by those very same Muslims and as an aside it will always bring to the surface those Politically Correct Fools who fail to understand the First and usually the Second Amendments to the Constitution. The First Amendment is not about speech you agree with, Hello... IT’S ABOUT ALL SPEECH!
I joined this board to talk H2 not politics, so for those sensitive souls who have the panties in a bunch I do apologize and remind you that “I do feel your pain.”
I further suggest that if you find my beliefs offensive, just ignore my posts, you are not forced to read them.
Now can we move on?

About the spare tire thing. That is what the free on-star is for Roadside assistance.

If you have the rear air ride you have an air compressor on board. Just carry a patch kit and you can make it to get it fixed.
