Trevons H1 Wanted Section

[Trevon]

It will probably see more street than off road, but I would still definitely want to have some fun with it. I do have quite a few friends that go out wheeling a lot so who knows, maybe I would start doing that much more too.

 

[HUMMER INVESTMENTS]

Ok- then you would probably be better off with a TD truck than an N/A as the N/A is a little more offroadish than the TD, and the TD is higher geared i believe. I will keep an eye out for your h1 my friend! I also spotted another H1 that i invited here that is in Pennington County. This is the second time ive spotted him, Before he was at the Dealer Getting the CTIS fixed, this time i saw it at McDonalds and left him a note on his wiper

 

[3Hummers]

The gasser get terrible mileage, have no acceleration, even for an H1, have a different power and torque curve, are generally considered less desirable, sell for far less than diesels and are harder to sell.

Well poking around I found this on Ebay and just can't stop looking at it. :roll:

Seems pretty good and is exactly what I want...just wish I had the money for something like that at the moment. When I am close to getting one I would definitely not prefer site unseen too, hopefully someone will be in the area one is either on here, my pro-touring forum, or my 78 Trans Am forum to get a better look.

Also really hope one like this is available in a few months...or I suddenly come across a lot of money :giggle:

The upshots with the 6.5 NA is its generally much more reliable and easy to work on vs 6.5 Turbo Diesel [ less electronics, less emissions, and no PMD/Electronic injection]. For around the town driving and off road it's great, but as a highway truck it's slower, but not by much, You'll never get a speeding ticket, and if thats ok [and it seems you have other go fast vehicles] then I'd look for a really nice condition 6.5 N/A.

 

[Trevon]

Is there a difference in cold performance from them? Where I live sometimes we see deep into the negative degrees and I know sometimes diesels don't like the cold. Do they have typical glow plug setups for an easier start at all? I imagine they do, but until about a 1 1/2 years ago I knew absolutely nothing about diesels. Since then I have gained a little knowledge from friends about all the Cummins and Duramax motors, and know the 6.5 doesn't make much power in comparison, but still no almost nothing about it. Does look like a pain to work on compared to a Cummins being halfway into the cab...but that's just a small price to pay for having an H1!

And I do have my go fast toy! But hate tickets (only have one from a few years ago...don't ever want another one). Sometimes I get impatient while I drive, but I can bottle it up until I get in the middle of no where with my car. Unless I go on a long trip the most miles it'll see on the interstate is less than 20 at a time, I can be patient for that long!

 

[HUMMER INVESTMENTS]

When you drive an H1 you will learn to be patient. The only time i wasnt patient was on the way to a friend of mines in CO to pick up parts and had to be home the next day so i was pulling 240 up hills ( wich is a lot, abusive really ) but in the end i will probably pay the price. Going constantly up steep hills beats hell on the engine

 

[LagunaH1]

Yep, they have glow plugs. Some also have block heaters, not sure if that's on all models though.

 

[HUMMER INVESTMENTS]

Once you get back from service let me know! I think i scared my employees taking them around the course and 1 jumped out and the other decided to stick it out until the end of airbag deployer, no i have no-one to ride with me:wink: Seriously, let me know and we can get you a ride around the track and ill let you drive it and get the feel of it:thumbs:

 

[Trevon]

Sounds good. Looks like I will be moving forward on this eventually. Everyone I talk to says if I really want one I should go for it (I justify it by saying I'm getting all the fun stuff now before some chick comes along and "doesn't want it" ... pshh). Being that I'm still pretty young, even though I'm just finishing up a car loan now, getting a co-signer wouldn't be a problem, already talked to who it would be with and they don't have a problem with it. Now if I could just find a good wagon and convince USAA or other that I don't need an insurance policy that costs more a month than the car payment it would be good.

And HII...that sounds like quite a course arty:

 

[Trevon]

I really wish...

Found this and it is a little more than I would like to spend, but it being from a dealer I hope I could get that price down a little bit as well as trade my truck for a decent amount...definitely a long shot for this deal to happen but I can continue to hope!

By the way, anyone in Denver that knows about it or could take a look? I emailed the dealer inquiring if it is still availalable and if it had the #8 cylinder problem and if it is, that I will like more specific photos...

This one seems pretty nice :gaah:

 

[3Hummers]

Actually that price is pretty good.

 

[Trevon]

Actually that price is pretty good.

Thought it seemed pretty good, it's just more that I was initially looking to spend but since it is about everything I wanted, its worth it. If I can swing it I'd love to, definitely will try my hardest, hope they get back to me soon.

Dave Breggin knows the truck and is a great guy! Go to Bluehummer.com and send him an email or shoot him a call.

Good luck!:cheers:

 

[HUMMER INVESTMENTS]

Also, any truck that you are worried about the #8 problem, contact Tustin Hummer and they will run the VIN to see its replaced:thumbs:

 

[HUMMER INVESTMENTS]

The only problem i have with that truck is it is BTM. I have a TT4 truck and i am clueless! Hopefully somone can explain it enough that you should be good to go once you get your truck and take it across the course

Heres the same add with more pics: Asumming they did nothing with it since they got it:thumbs:

[Trevon]

Thanks, haven't been on Hummer Marketplace much - they said my IP is common from spammers and won't activate my account... Also just learned the Brookings H1 is still available....will find out more about it.

 

[HUMMER INVESTMENTS]

Cool! If you ever need more info, give my friend Dan from Sioux Falls a call. Hes been around it and i am pretty sure he knows the guy:thumbs:

 

[Trevon]

I will have to give him a call soon. Being the situation I am in I don't know how willing the sellers will be to help me but I am trying my hardest...

There are two I am currently interested in and talking to the sellers. The tan one in Brookings and also this one in Minnesota: http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/2647376937.html

Doesn't look like it was trailed very much and I just seem to like the cleaner look of the white with no roof rack and the stock brush guard. Both are up for a similar price... Received a few more pictures of the white one, does anyone know what tires for these run? It seems to have the military Hummer tires on it but the fronts are very worn.

If anyone knows about this one please let me know more and perhaps help me out..?? :wink:

 

[HUMMER INVESTMENTS]

Trevon,

The military surplus tires on the H1 run about $100-$400. The military tires only work for the 16.5" wheel. The tan one has the stock 16.5" wheel, I cant really tell if the white one does. The tire ranges from the 16.5" have very little choices but you can get the cheapest tires available ( military ) most of the time brand new, are sometimes why people like the 16.5" wheel. Heck if you buy the tan one I will buy the brushguard and sell you one of my 3 stock brushguards ( its basically the one thats on the white one ). The white one dosent say if it has the TD or the NA. The price on the white one says they are firm while i am pretty sure the guys with the Tan one will possibly cut you a deal?

Goodluck and keep me and the rest of us updated!:corn:

Did you get in contact with Dan today?

Here are some pics of the 94 at the Midwest Hummer Club course in Sioux Falls:

 

[Trevon]

Yes, I did call him today before going into work. Talked for about 30 minutes and I learned a bit about the truck itself and also quite a bit more about the H1 in general. Seems like a pretty good deal and would really like to make it work. Hopefully will hear back from the owner soon, haven't heard anything for a while now; will definitely have to give him a call tomorrow though.

I think it will all come down to whether or not the owner wants to deal me and my situation or not. :giggle:

 

[HUMMER INVESTMENTS]

The add dosent seem to appear right now. Good luck on the deal!:cheers:


Dan is a really knowledgable guy, he has helped me a lot and knows a lot!
