My thinking, too. But two GM service centers found nothing. Hum and vibration don't change much, if at all, with speed or rpms.

Well, it's a better guess than anything I've come up with! THX!

Getting used to the Alpha after a long relationship with a fine 2006 Luxury H3 5-cyl. PPI by an out-of-state GM facility found no issues, and actually raved about the good condition of the truck. But I noticed a very low grade hum and vibration that the 5-cyl H3 didn't make, and since I didn't...

All good input, much thanks! Four fenders = four potential test areas. I have a spray can of the correct paint, as well as base coat and clear coat. I'll give it a try and post results here.

I don't know, no experience here, but these faded surfaces don't appear to have any clear coat left. Can there still be clear coat over this faded paint, and if so, how do I know?

Just updated to a newer H3, a 2008 Alpha. It is orange, but the plastic parts (fenders, air ducts) are very faded on the flat surfaces. Question is, if I paint these myself, do I take it down to the plastic and start from there; or just prep the faded paint and spray over that? Had a paint...

Long story short, yesterday the AC was blowing cold, I switched AC off and blower kept blowing out the vents. Then I switched to heat (fan still blowing out the vents) and shut down the engine to go fishing. After I started back up, AC blows cool air but not much volume. Even at high speed...

So, it looks like one lead off the battery is loose and can't be tightened. Now, I'm looking to replace the two (apparently OEM) battery connectors with something that can be tightened down.

This is one of those weird ones to diagnose, and I can only guess it is a bad starter switch on the column. Every once in a while, not consistently, I insert the key, turn it and nothing happens. And the key can't be removed. After a while, sometimes after doing something as simple as...

Haven't been on the forum for quite some time, but it's been huge fun reading this thread on BSW. I live in St George, and though I have other commitments during BSW (!) if I can be of any assistance with "local information", just ask. Might be able to join ya'll the first few days.
