Is it worth 30 to go from an 03 to an 08

Cool. We should meet up sometime. I've only met one other Hummer guy from a forum. He goes by big2dabank on *******Club and Clubhummeroffroad. Very nice gentleman.

The 08 is a much better truck. It drives WAY better as it actually really moves.
0-60 is like 7.5 seconds. That is pretty darn fast for such a big rig. they tow much better. They get better mpgs... well like 1-2mpg better anyway.

They Tow WAYYYYY better.... The interior does rattle like hell. You actually feel like you are in a quality vehicle.

Offroad they are even better than the old ones as well. The transfer case is geared even lower old one was like 33:1 the new one is like 40:1.

I have been looking at buying an 08. But I really just want to move onto the H1...... decisions decisions....

i went from a 06 suv to a 08 sut. i am really glad i made the choice. the only thing i really miss is the dash layout of the 06, it really goes well with the exterior of the h2.

CHARLES06 - Sounds like a plan, I'll send you my number and email address.

Thanks to everyone else for the replies. I travel a lot for business so I'm going to inspect a few 08's over the next few weeks and see what I can find. I looked at an 08 in Vegas earlier this week, and plan to look at another one in West Palm Beach next week. Prices seem to be all over the place for lower milage ( 30K - 40K ) trucks so I need to see a few and determine if some are abused or if the dealers are just smokin a little too much weed....

I looked at a few Duramax trucks and I just don't think id be happy in a truck and everyone on the road seems to have a diesel truck.

Thanks again to all that replied. If anyone needs a cheap 03 let me know.

Actually they all have a borg warner 4484 with a 2.64:1 low range ratio

I had an 06 and then traded up to an 08 and then up to an 09. I really think the 08/09 are much nicer on the interior. The tranny does take a bit of getting used to as it seems like it shifts constantly but thats what a 6 speed does. Power in the engine is much better etc. I dont have any rattles unless the outside temp gets down around 10 degrees and then things start to rattle a bit. It does run like a scared rabbit. Didnt care for the Goodyear SRA's, they really didnt go well in the snow. So I put a set of Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armours on and they are great. Actually quieter than the SRAs.

Well everything worked out and I am very happy. I sold my SOM 03 H2 at a fair price and found an 08 Solar Flare H2 at a great price. My 03 had 120K and was starting to show its age so I sold it for 15K, And I found an 08 with 34,000 miles and the perfect option package for 35K. The 08 doesn't look like it ever left pavement. No scratches underneath, no signs of rust anywhere and the interior still smells new with only one blemish on the headliner. Orange/Black, NO SUNROOF, backup up camera, rear tire cover and basics. Just a base model with a few options. So glad I did this and it was 10K less than what I thought I was going to have to spend.
Ordering some BMF Death Metal Novakanes and terra grapplers tomorrow and meeting with a dent removal guy to remove 3 door dings.
