H3 turns 100,000 miles

[H3.007]

Greetings All!

My H3 will be rolling 100,000 within the next couple of months. Is there any recommended services at this mileage, such as engine, transmission, and radiator flush, etc.? Shock or bushing replacements, etc.?

Thanks!
Chris

Follow your service shedule....

Been doing that but some GM and independent mechanics are advising against a couple of traditional services to include the transmission and radiator flush and fills. Also, I recently discovered the rear spring bushings had twisted. Upon replacement by GM, it was found the bushings were also rotted and one spring was completely broken at the front mount. I didn't see anything about those issues in the manual. *lol* The scary thing is I found the bushings issues after noting odd thumping and groaning sounds emanating from the suspension. Prior to that time, two independent mechanics as well as a GM mechanic couldn't locate the issue and the latter even went ad far as to blame the problem on "sound dud to aggressive tires". :O

UPDATE - My old H3, now my son's in Telluride, just turned 170,000 miles during our visit out there. It got a lot of miles when his wife was a nurse in Grand Junction going back and forth. He has replaced the radiator, belts, spark plugs, hoses, and exhaust piping on the H3, that's all that was engine related. Other maintenance included transmission flushes at 50k, 100k, and 150k, four sets of brakes (this vehicle operates in the mountains), two sets of shocks, two windshields, HVAC fan switch, one wheel and tire from a pot hole, and five sets of tires.

Many thanks! :-) Great to know that I can get a few more miles in on it. Just nothing else out there comparable...
