Its like that here in Edmonton too . I see a ton of H2's here but Ive never seen a dirty one .... I have talked to a couple Hummer owners and the ones that do show interest in coming out lose it pretty fast when they find out they may get scratches on there Hummer's from trailing ....I mean it would be nice if there was more from Edmonton going down ....oh well

I heard about that swim, lol
Hmmmm, unless I can figure out what is wrong with my steering I might have to sit this one out. Worst part is unless I can figure out how to duplicate the problem or find the problem the dealer probably won't do anything about it until it catastrophically fails.

Well they can duplicate it for sure now... I can't even get out of my neighborhood without it going squirrely on me.
The Steering is all over the place, it suddenly pulls to one side or the other (usually against the way I turn). It isn't anything to do with mechanical connections, I checked everything; which only leaves the steering system.
No whine from the pump, actually it feels like the pump is working great.... which leaves the steering rack.
So why would the steering rack be working against the wheel? Can the valving in it screw up? (kind of like how a shock can get negative chambering) I am going to check out the fluid level, but that is the only thing I can think of.

Interesting article here... Steering problem applies to Corvettes but sounds similar to your problem. H3 recalss mentioned might be applied to your truck too...worth reading anyways:
