For people with a non alpha h3 or t

[Bananatank]

This is really just a question for people who have the i5 engine. Idk about any of you, but i usually get the question about what engine does the h3 have and when i say an i5 they automatically look down on the h3. Idk if any of you have been getting this but for those of you who have whats y'all's usual response? (Been getting this from jeep guys a lot)

Don't worry about it, let them talk what they want and drive on.:thumbs:

Invite them to go wheeling. They will then see what an I5, 4:1 TC and locked 4:56 front and rear diffs can do off road.

any jeep guy who bags on an I5 and has a 3.8L V6 should get kicked in the nuts. The 3.8L is one of the biggest pieces of **** on the planet. If its a 4.0 then they are lucky what a great motor.

I try to avoid giving **** to anyone and try to see the positive of any vehicle, minus the prius. I just cant stand those piles and 99% of the owners.

My cousin drives a 2000 Toyota Tacoma (3.4L v6) and he was giving me $hit about having 1 more cylinder than me. I quickly responded with (yeah but my "little" 5 cyl actually has more cubic inches than your V6! That shut him up quickly.

Yeah i get it a lot "dang an i5 i bet that has no power at all" and the majority of the time it is from jeep owners tho bc there are so many jeeps where i live.

I had 3 Jeeps (two 05 Wranglers Rubicon TJ/Sport LJ and an 04 Grand Cherokee 4.7L V8), the 4.0L was a good motor, but 180/190HP is all it'll do. The 3.7L I5 is 242HP and the H3 has 4.56 gears vs a wranglers 3.07/3.73/4.10. The 4.0L is awesome under 65MPH or off road. The H3 is good on/off road. I have no problem going 80-85MPH on the freeway if needed in my wife's 07 H3. In both my 4spd auto's TJ/LJ keeping up with traffic in the 70-75MPH range is a true struggle.

The 3.8L is a true piece of junk!! Nothing will ever make that minivan 3.8L a good choice in a Jeep. The 3.6L is much better in the HP department, but OMG the electronic throttle response is just awful. I love my Alpha's 5.3L, but I have zero issues with the 3.7L I5!a

Jeep people are biased these days and I honestly can't stand em... Sad but true. If you don't have an AEV rig or a Smittybilt rig you're nothing to them lol.

After owning both I'm extremely happy with the H3 and I'd never go back to a Jeep. Oh and the HVAC is ice cold vs the Jeep's cool breeze lol.

More HP and torque than all but the newest Jeep motor. So, are those downlookers going to argue # of cylinders or actual performance? If someone really wants to start bagging on my ride, or start any other BS discussion, I move onto something more interesting. Like discussions of Kate Upton in a weightless environment.

Most jeepers drive and i4 lol

I actually do have a question why did the h3 i5 switch from 3.5 L to 3.7L i5? Sadly i have the 3.5 luxury and thats it no adventure package which means lack of lockers

there is a very noticeable "seat of the pants" difference in power between the 3.5 and the 3.7.

 

[Airborne]

Inline engines a far more efficient at producing torque and hp than nearly all V's on the planet. Had GM gone with an I6 in the same config there would be zero gripes about performance or even bored to a 4.+L. Either way the I5 is a formidable motor no doubts. I came from a V8 Grand Cherokee and would never go back to that thing. The Hummers are in their own world. Like nothing else man.

 

[Bananatank]

Alright so idk y im just getting to asking all this about my h3 lol but i have the 06 luxury so this means i don't have lockers right? But i do have 4.56gears anything else?

[Chocflip201]

You have to look at the buttons on your dash. You can have a luxury and still have the adventure package. (Rear locker and 4:1 tcase)

 

[Bananatank]

Yeah thts what I thought i don't have the buttons so i do to have the lockers or a 4:1 tcase

You can always add them. I think that's what I'll do eventually. And once the 3.5 craps out, I'll put an early model 3.7 in for a few more horses... That'll be way down the road. I haven't had any issues with my 3.5... It's a dog but I have gotten +/- 20mpg on the highway with 35s, brushguard, ucp, roofrack and leveled so im not worried. I may not be able to romp on it and blow a big cloud of crap into the air like the big Dodge or Chevy next to me but those guys are tools anyway.

 

[06 H3]

I added a rear locker then 4:1 then front. I recommend them.

 

[Bananatank]

So I'm sorry but let me just make sure i got everything down ik i have a 06 luxury package without adventure which means i neither have a front or rear locker i have 4.56 gears and i have the i5 3.5L. If i buy another h3 i will be looking for 07+ with adventure package or an alpha. Miss anything lol?

[Chocflip201]

Mmm on the right track. But just because it's an alpha doesn't mean it has the lockers or 4:1 case. Alpha is only stating that it has the 5.3l v8 (and 4.10 axle gears)

07+ just means that the 3.5L was no longer available. So you either got the 3.7l I5, or the 5.3L v8 if you have an alpha.

Adventure package means rear locker and 4:1 Low-range t case. 2009/2010's also included the front locker from factory if you had the adv package.

Luxury is just a trim package. Nothing to do with drivetrain at all.

When I bought my H3T I had the choice of Alpha or I5. I chose the I5 because I found an M5. I'm happy with my choice and the I5 has more power than a lot of straight sixes and V6's that I've driven. I'm pretty sure that there was talk that the I5 would become the standard full-size truck engine at GM. I think in the end the I5 didn't meet the fuel economy requirements they were needing in the future. I wish the throttle body were cable operated vs. electronic. That's my only gripe. The rest of my gripe is living in California I can't legally install an exhaust header. The reality is we have to keep the air as clean as possible. Oh well.....

06 said it best, I can't stand the Prius puncks. My wife and I get a real good laugh when we pull up besid one and they turn their noses up at us. And more than on e has one almost met a un timely end from the back bumper of my H3.

personally I think the I5 is a decent all around rig, do I wish I got a V8..... Sometimes till I think about the cost of fuel.

 

[Bigunit]

It's all relative...like my 3rd & 4th cousin's and my great uncles and aunts thrice removed. Which means that we have what we have and we need to appreciate what we have and wheel the hell out of it to learn what we can and can't do...and then maybe spend our hard-earned money to add 4:1 TCs and lockers. If you never wheel, you will never know what yo need and don't need. So, in the meantime, please send your tax-deductible donations to Bigunit HUMMER Rescue so that I can buy and store these parts for you for if/when you need them. Trust me, it's going to a good cause!

...or better yet, just buy an Alpha Adventure and be done with it!
