Congrats! And I think you can put much bigger batteries and electric motors into that toy. You've got a few years to get it ready. Looks like you already did the SAS on the front end of that one.

None exists. The only kit that was out there in recent years was from Rancho and it is not in production or in inventory. The only way to get one is if someone is taking it off their H3 or to buy a used H3 that already has it installed.

In regards to navigation, from what I’ve seen is that phones and Garmin essentially have the same accuracy (on paper), but I’ve also seen that they don’t have the same results. I’m going to replicate some tests soon that I saw someone else do, which is to carry both a phone and a Garmin (I have...

Progress update: after 700 miles, didn’t have to add oil. Then took it on a road trip about 1150 miles one way and it used 1.5 quarts. For me and this engine, that’s acceptable and a bit of an improvement. From Phoenix to east of Albuquerque there are a lot of hills, so the engine spends a lot...

That’s a good (bad) one. Honestly, haven’t heard this one before. Since you have a 2010, the TCM is a separate module from the PCM (this changed in mid-2007) so it should be easier to source/replace if necessary. About $130 on eBay for a refurb one and this guy will program it to your VIN for...

That doesn’t sound too nice. It could be a/c, or the extra strain the a/c is putting on the belt could be exacerbating another issue. Listening to the items is the easiest way to pinpoint and you can pick up a stethoscope at O’Reilly for $12. Agreed that water pump and a/c compressor are most...

The spindles are the hardest item to get. I'd reach out to Rancho but I wouldn't keep my hopes up. Good luck.

Very cool! This is a great upgrade. Ready to put one in my H3? Well, you probably are but I'm not sure I am. Maybe down the road a bit, plus I can't get away with that in Maricopa County

I've had good luck at Apex Automotive, Dave Dyer is the owner. Regarding any lift and the front end: can you measure from the center of the wheel hub to the bottom of the fender and give us that number? Also, turn the wheels to the right and give us a pic of the suspension from behind on the...

Wow, you just can't let this idea go, can you? I'm sure you can find another dozen or so threads to post this up into while you're at it, especially considering this one didn't even bring it up as a topic.

I'm no expert on sway bar links, but those should be fine. Here's what I put on mine, and the rear of my H3 is lifted. This is from Spohn Performance. I don't necessarily recommend these, as they seem a bit thin, but they have not bent yet. Overall the kit was good. JK-FDEL-256 Quick...

Congrats on the new to you H3. Yes, let's see what constitutes that lift. It's likely torsion bar keys and bump stop extenders. If you don't know where the torsion bar keys are, follow the long rod (the torsion bar) coming out of the back of the lower control arm of the front suspension. At the...

I doubt it, but it's possible. I'm likely to get a .20 overbore kit for this block and have it rebuilt, assuming everything else is in workable shape. I'd like to get a V8 but I also only put about 5000 miles each year on the H3, so for me it's not a great ROI to go V8

I ran for years with a stock setup and those tires, and simply put up with the rubbing. Likely your tires are just hitting the sway bar and that's a smooth surface. No harm is done. If they are rubbing hard - back off a bit. No need to go that extra degree. You can do spacers, and you'd only...

Update: the engine was torn down on Wednesday (he's been really short staffed, but I trust the guy so I'm fine with the wait.) Actually, I think it was #7 that failed. Anyway, there was one bent rod, and both lifters had failed in that cylinder. The bent rod one obviously had an oiling and...

No compression check yet. But my consumption was a bit more than "a little" when I put in three quarts in about 300 miles, including a bunch of time at high load on road and off-road. That much blowby can't be good for downstream systems like catalytic converters. So far with 500 miles on this...

Bummer that you need a BCM, but glad you found the issue.

Minimally you need a new bushing. That is too much play. Your tire can essentially move in and out on it's own without any input from the steering. If your tire moved enough to touch the control arm I suspect it's more than an alignment. Check the obvious - bent or broken lower (less likely) or...

It's my understanding that the flasher is controlled by the BCM; there is no separate relay or control. The flashing sound is coming from a speaker, not a relay. I think Happy Hummer's troubleshooting is on target. That trailer wiring (used or unused) is prone to fraying and shorting out...
