A 6.2. Of course :)

Think of all the vehicles/platforms they come in and how many are produced annually. Parts are cheap, plentiful and you can build the hell out of it too.

However, if you plan on staying street legal in California, the BAR will only let you use a 5.3, but those have been around even longer and have many more options :)

That 6.2 is a monster! My moms Yukon XL Denali has the 6.2 with the 4L80e trans and it will easily reach 95-100 on steep freeway climbs. You going with a 6.2? I want it but don't wanna lose it being street legal...

So does your Mom know how fast you are driving her Denali?:)

Thanks guys for all the advice... Honestly being a college student Im barley swing the payments now so an 09 or 10 is not in the budget neither are and swaps on my 06!! I guess this is a problem i will adress in the future! But until then Im going to wheel the hell out of my rig until something stops it! I havent been stuck yet nor have been let down by my H3. Thanks again guys you have helped me learn some more thing about hummer!

I don't want to sound like a know-it-all but if you are already having a hard time making payments on your truck, then how are you going to handle the bill(s) if you wheel your truck hard enough that something breaks? Can you handle a sudden, unexpected 200-400 dollar repair bill? -Just something to think about.

If I may suggest something I'd say maybe dial back your ambitions for hard core technical wheeling and try and have fun with what you have, at least until your financial situation improves to the point where repairs aren't going to break the bank.

So i have a 2006 h3 I-5 to what i thought was an adventure for the longest time but i do not have that locker button next tom my traction control. So i guess both of my diffs are open which sucks. I have put tires, bilsteins all around, and a lot of little things into this hummer over the last year. I love to take it offroad and wheel with my buds but i feel like my h3 will soon fall behind with not having lockers. Should i spend alot of money and try to lock the front and rear or invest in a alpha off road editon that already has front and rear. Only bad part about that is I will miss my leather. What are yall's thoughts????

Just saying my OPINIONS:

(1)Invest in an H3 Alpha is the best option, if you still like H3 than like H2. If I were you, I would not spend extra money on the current H3, not worth it.

(2)I would buy a H2(preferably SUT) only if I have enough $$$ and still crazy about HUMMER. In the past, when HUMMER production existed, the price difference between H2 and H3 is around 1 H2 = 1.5 - 2 H3. so there must be something that H3 cannot compete with H2 when it was born/made(same thing applies to H3 and H3 Alpha)

No offroading...never ever lol She doesnt know but I dont drive it much. Either way the 6.2 is a monster and every H3 should have one.
