I just took this Hummer in for a inspection and this is what it came out with



-No cruise control

-No windshield washer

-Fuel gauge not working correctly

-Front markers and rear brake lights not working

-steering wheel not straight

-LR Hub seal leaking

-RF rear upperarm loose

-idler arm, Pitman arm and left tie rod have play

-Front and rear pads and rotors warn down

-Transmission pan leak

-Exhaust leak at left manifold

[Hesh]

I havent seen this, but FWIW:

Marker and brake lights and cruise control are probably just a bad/blown fuse - easy fix

Steering wheel - meh

Hub seals always go, nothing of any large expense or big deal there. Relatively easy fix.

I think the main things that would concern me would be the Pan leak, and the guage not working properly, though it may be a decent amount (not crazy $$ but a decent chunk) to replace all the worn components (ie: pitman, idler, etc).



I'd be more concerned with A) Does this have the heavy block/warranty replacement block B ) Changing out that K&N Filter first off the hop (the K&N's for these trucks have been proven to do more bad than good) C) Why it has a new stack & windshield (possible collision?)

They bought it in 2005 from nova scocia at 100,000 km. They replaced the windshield because it has a lot of pitting and chips in it they said. Carfax shows a clean record. They don't know if the warranty block was put in. Do you know a way I can find out and see?

[tomserroul]

Oh yeah and he said he out a new starter in because he was wireing the lights in and arced out the starter last month.

you would need the VIN in order to see what kind of engine was in it originally

The original engine bears little impact on what motor you'd want in there now. There are ways to inspect the motor to find out if the current motor (assuming/hoping it's been replaced) is the upgraded heavy block or the defective #8 block.



Familiarize yourself with these two articles, and there is a wealth of information in the adjacent site's articles.

The vin has a Z in it. Im not near the truck so I can't check the block. Its not cracked yet atleast since I did the coolant pressure test by starting it when it was cold. It's 12 years old now with 147,00 so maybe it was changed under warranty hopefully.

from what I'm reading here.... it sounds like more trouble than its worth.

[Hesh]

Not a risk I would go into blindly, especially with motor replacements costing upwards of 15K (parts and labor).



I absolutely did not want to take this risk, hence my 2001.
