Whew! What a day. Had a couple people come by this morning to purchase the i5 transmission and transfer case along with the two wheels from the Alpha which apparently had a wheel lock key I didn’t notice. And of course it was no where to be seen. Luckily I found a socket I could pound on in...

i pulled that with the ecm/tcm. i have my 06 version but i don't think that will help with your swap. pm'd you about an option though

I don’t know if I’ve seen the daystar tray, but honestly I’m not a huge fan of stuff on my dash. Just seems cluttered to me, the pillar is manageable for my OCD but the fact it doesn’t match the passenger side irks me a bit already lol my mind is a wonderful place to live sometimes. It took me...

Moving right along. Spent a few hours working on the wiring today. Got through about 90% of the BCM plug before my soldering gun battery died. I think I have 3 or 4 more wires to work before it will be ready to be buttoned up. Jamie’s wiring diagrams come in clutch when going through this. Nice...

Had a nice visit from the police today while working on things. Apparently one of the neighbors who had nothing better to do called in a complaint because the Alpha was “unsightly”. Police just laughed it off once they saw what I was doing luckily. Went by harbor freight this morning and...

Now we’re cookin with butter! Went 4 for 6 on breaking off the exhaust bolts. Didn’t matter if I used heat, penetrating oil, or impacts, nothing was going to save them. Even tried the crayon trick on a last chance whim with zero success. But!!!!! The motor is out! Figured out where the oil...

That’s my issue with the aftermarket versions. Just looks like an after thought, rather than something that could have come factory. To be clear, that’s a bit on the back burner now that I have the motor on hand. But, once I get it done I’d be happy to reach out to you about it (maybe by...

Well more of the same today. One of the dogs broke a window last night while “protecting the house” from a squirrel across the street so the morning consisted of replacing the window and screen. Got the rear end thrown up on some jackstands and somewhat level in the yard to allow some...

Unproductive today day overall. Slept absolutely terrible last night so my energy today to get stuff done was non-existent. Finished getting the harness disconnected and labeled in the engine bay. Also removed the AC, radiator, and heater hoses thanks to a quick release tool printed from my 3d...

FINALLY PROGRESS!!!! Alpha got delivered today after waiting almost 5 weeks for delivery and boy the auction pictures didn’t do her justice! Interior is in amazing condition and the body isn’t awful either…..minus the driver rear corner. First thing I did was check to make sure it had oil...

All parts out of 2008 Hummer H3 Alpha with 85k miles. Obvious rear impact to driver side quarter panel and rear door. Driver side taillight is broken. Rear axle with 4.10 gears is in unknown condition. No, I don’t have a full set of wheels & tires Additional pictures available upon request...

thanks for the info. wasn't sure if the 1 gallon was enough to do the whole vehicle or if it was going to be just over. looks like this will be my next project after the engine swap!

i know you did this a couple years back but, do you remember how much product you used to cover the whole truck? I've been considering doing this since the wrap i put on a couple years ago is starting to crack and i'm looking for something with a bit more longevity. also how has it held up since...

Final fog light bracket revision completed! Fog light clicks in with some moderate pressure but still allows up and down movement for beam adjustment, and the foglight is better centered in the bumper opening without those ugly gaps. Lower bracket allows the original screw and spring (from...

Well, couple other changes to the bracket. Found out I missed some of my measurements so things were a bit askew once it was bolted in. Pay no attention to the fog light being angled in the bracket. It was just thrown in for measurement purposes. Made some changes to the bracket to better...

Well I’m back from New York and still waiting on Copart to deliver the alpha. Spoke with them this morning and they’re going to see if they can transfer it to the Fort Worth Copart so I can head the two hours down there with a trailer and pick it up that way since it’s been going on 4 weeks...

I'm going to end up using the t-case out of the wrecked Alpha i purchased after the i5 blew up. I have someone looking to pick up the old i5 t-case next week with knowledge of the likely shifter fork issue

I'll have this available toward the end of march if you're still looking. Not sure what shipping would look like though

Well, still no Alpha today. Spoke with the transport company late yesterday when I saw they still didn't pick up the unit from Copart to find out what was going on. In my morning conversation they informed me they found a driver and he would be picking up the truck within the next hour. 6 hours...
