I know because I was developing a audio system for Ford and they gave us a few to do the R & D on. I drove them back and forth to work daily and took a few "Tuning" trips with them. On one such trip I had 7 people in the V10 running down the highway averaging about 75-80, got 16.7 m.p.h on that trip. For the size vehicle that was pretty good, the two in the third row were not the smallest and very comfortable, plus we had room for a ton of chit behind them, unlike the 3rd row in other large SUV's. I do think they never painted them yellow because Ford didn't want kids running up to them all the time. As for why someone wants to put a Duramax into his Hummer has nothing to do with resell, it's custom for Christ sake. What do you think of this car, should he have taken this OLD thing to the junk yard and bought a new mustang instead? |

You say that, but at the time, no suv's were selling well. I would bet that if Ford brought back the diesel excursion right now, they couldn't keep them on the lot.

Your missing the point (IT IS CUSTOM) and its a Hummer if you could just go down the street and buy one every body would have one. And i like having stuff others don't have!
Good luck on your project it does seem cool not going to lie, but not practical a single bit. You said you were single with money to spend, well might want to think about the day when your not single and have houses and kids and such. |

I guess if thats how you view life, I really dont do things for other people or do things to be the only one. To me doing dum chit because its cool or custom is not an option, but I am also married have a house, and other commmitments to take care of. But I guess if you can find 15k to dump into an H2 then fine its your money, personally dont see the sense in it. You may find an H2 cool but I dont and either did lots of other people hence why they are not made anymore.

And if you arent saving at least 10% of month into retirement you might dumb. Lets see drop 15k on a engine swap on a 5 year old vehicle or pay my house down, or save for retirement. Sounds mature for a 30 year old, i can now see why you are not married. |

Very invalid statement due to the fact that most people on here are married, and number two my wife doesnt work at some 10 dollar an hour job. I actually have more because she has a good job and a career. |

Save your breath with this tool. All he does is come onto peoples threads to argue with them. He was banned before for doing this, comes back under another screen name, and continues to argue with people. There's no reasoning with someone like this. So back on track for those who are interested, what's the progress on the conversion ? |
was coming to see how the swap was coming along but :poopoo: it's gotten a little more interesting :popcorn:
