Has anyone else had to have the entire head replaced? I smell recall.

Thats what i'm worried about !!!

[f5fstop]

I just have to ask, "do you really believe what a dealer tells you."
Whether there is a problem or not with the cylinder head

"GM has told them to replace the entire head and everything related and update the computer code to fix the lean problem They have also been instructed to send in all replaced parts for them to examine."

Sending back parts can be a standard procedure, depending upon the parts. I haven't checked, but I'm sure this part is considered a core return part.

"He told me that the head has to go into a machine shop to get worked when they get the parts."

Now, I'll be honest, this line makes me laugh. If the dealer is getting a new head, there is absolutely no reason for them to send it out to a machine shop when received. The head will be ready to install right out of the box.

"I wish I had never bought my H3. I shoulda known better."

I guess all other trucks/SUVs/cars, etc., can never break...damn, wish I had known that.

Excuse me, but for some reason, I have a hard time believing a first post with the statements you have made. Either this is a troll post, or you are exaggerating the problems, or the dealer is really in bad shape.

Yea that's it I randomly go and post stuff just to annoy you guys.

I have a life.

I just went online to see if anyone else was having the same issue and up jumps a bunch of closed ear people.

I really jope there's not a big problem with them. Maybee it's just a batch that my dealer got. Probably not since the dealer said that he is working with TAC or some kind of tech support people at GM and they are seeing the same thing.

Does any one here work at a dealer. If so go ask you service guy to call GM and see if they are experienceing this problem or is my dealer lying to me.

That will solve it.

tell your dealer you want another one so we can stop kickin this dead horse and send ~ some free crap

I know I should of waited more than 2 minutes after getting off the phone with the dealer.I'm much calmer now.

The only symptoms were a rough idle (engine shimmy) Then the engine light came on within a couple of days. It did seem there was some power loss.

They said the compression on 2 cylinders was low 150 on one and 180 on another.

I think he said below 200 was a problem.

I am a little confused or you are. The title AND you stated in your opening post that the head had to be replaced. Yet you followed that up with the fact that you are waiting because "He told me that the head has to go into a machine shop to get worked when they get the parts."

Now if anyone gets on here and says they have a problem you call them a liar and say not to tell anyone about it, just take it in for warranty.

I understand his last statement was derogatory towards our beloved H3's, but you don't even ask for an explanation before everyone is calling him a liar.

His situation sounds like a regional one, possibly something with the driving conditions or too low octane fuel. That is if the dealer has several of these in for the same reason and this is not going on any where else in the country. About 15 yrs ago we had several vehicles of all makes and models coming into our shop with running too lean issues, it turned out to be traceable back to one gas station that was cutting the fuel with a grain alcohol additive. He was not mixing it to the proper ratios.

Sometimes I think GM just pays you to sit on the forums and say nothing ever goes wrong with their vehicles. (that is if you really work for GM, maybe there PR firm)

I have had the transmission go out in mine at 3074 miles and GM wanted it back to tear down and see what happened. (I saw the print out from GM) Not a core but sent to some quality control center.

By the way does anyone know if BCMs are shipping yet. I am still waiting on one to fix the dash lights in my H3.
