Your father is right. Living beyond our means is what got us in this recession. Someday you can venture back to Hummer. Nobody gave me anything in life. I worked for every ounce of it. Sometimes you have to sacrifice to get what you want down the road. Good luck!

Id go h3 at the least! I'm not a toyota fan. Had one, never again.

Is this common to lose an engine after only 85K? Seems really sketchy to me. I owned a GMC Jimmy at the age of 18 and put 225,000 miles on it and didn't have any engine problem. Maybe its due to the weight of the vehicle and how much strain it might put on the engine? i don't know.

Maybe its about maintenince/driving style...


Or it could just be the engine, think about how many 6.0L Vortecs have been made between h2s, escalades, denalis, GMC/Chevy 3/4 tons etc... A few were bound to be bad engines

No its very uncomon, another gm with this motor is 2500 non duramax trucks. I have a friend that manages a mechanic shop and he talked to a mechanic of 30 years and since that motor has came out in 1999 he has replaced 2, one was in a ambulance and the other was in a truck with damn near 300k miles on it. Also today at the dealer while i was unpacking my stuff from it i talked to a mechanic that had been there for 5 years and i asked how many has he known of that have went out, he smiled pointed to mine and said that one. I do have a heavy foot but i dont think that it would do that, something must have been wrong. Like you said there are bad ones every so often.

wow, i'm sorry man. i would be devastated if this ever happened to my Hummer. Well, you should go buy a vehicle you like, but hopefully you still hang out on the forum once in a while even if you don't drive the 2 anymore.
