    Dashcams, Cameras, and Radios

    Before I forget ....Note, I've never used this before, but gives you an idea https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805391126007.html

    Dashcams, Cameras, and Radios

    Another option is to see if the Colorado guys have figured out how to go with newer GM map radios with back-up cam (~2012 or so), and maybe integrated streaming. It might be another option, and look stock. When I was looking into it some years ago that was something some guys were trying to...

    Dashcams, Cameras, and Radios

    IDK about the dashcam. What radio does your H3 have now? Is it the GM LCD map radio? Or the one with actual buttons and a fluorescent display? Some people have installed JVC stereos (do a search) in the past which I guess worked fine, sounded great. You'll lose a few controls if you have the...

    Bad a/c condenser/compressor?

    If it were my vehicle, I would get a wood handle/stick/large dowel/etc a couple ft long. I would put the end on the front of the AC compressor (behind the pulley), and the other end pressed up to my ear. If the bearings are going bad a guy will literally hear them crunching away inside via the...

    Engine / Trans Programmers

    I wonder if they can disable the tire pressure monitor system? Anyone have that done?

    Jimmie Johnson News... anybody notice the H3 in the driveway?

    Just wondering if anyone else picked up on the white H3 in the driveway of the recent news piece about Jimmie Johnson's inlaws tragic event?

    E-Brake backing Plate?

    Our vehicles seem to be going the way of the dodo bird with eventually not much aftermarket support. One of GM's recent folly's (IMO) is letting the H3 lapse. It was built on the Colorado assembly line anyway. The tooling already existed. They could have done an H3 body *refresh* in 2011, and...

    E-Brake backing Plate?

    I hear you. I've been hoping GM would make another production run of those. Another possibility for guys who like to fabricate in their spare time: *If* a guy could find another GM backing plate (Tahoe/Suburban/Truck, etc) which used the same outer (round) section, a guy could cut out (grind...

    E-Brake backing Plate?

    Maybe we'll get lucky and Dorman will start making them. Maybe we should all blitz Dorman with emails, so they know there's a need. They are 'similar' to other GM's so I think they'd only have to make the center portion unique. But IDK if there are enough H3's out there to make it worth their...

    E-Brake backing Plate?

    My left one isn't the best either... I feel your pain. I searched and could find another GM that is the same. There might be, but I didn't come across it.... Anybody know if there's another backing plate in the GM parts bin the same as an H3?

    Lifted back to stock

    OP: Does your H3 have the Adventure Package, or Base? Adventure pkg H3's came with mono-tube shocks from the factory. Mono-tube's pretty sure that's what the Fox shocks are (as are most off-road shocks ...and Bilsteins). I replaced mine (stock height) with OEM Delcos and the vehicle rides good...

    E-Brake backing Plate?

    That might be a tough one. I looked for a L. one, and have had my eye open for one and haven't found one. A lot of outfits which sell a rear end sell as a complete unit. But keep checking ebay and the like. Maybe someone on the forum has one (or both). Is yours rusted? Maybe you can have a...

    5 Speed H3 Things To Look For?

    Looks like it was superceeded by #19354435 [HERE]. Probably any mainstream dino lube of the same specs would work fine, but to go GM, there's a link below. If you know a small town family-owned GM dealer near you, many will sell fluids out of their bulk oil barrel (real cheap). Call the part's...

    5 Speed H3 Things To Look For?

    Worst case, manual trannys are easy to rebuild ...and generally not very expensive if it's just worn synchros, synchro collars and shift bushings. If you have one that needs some work, something to consider. Then yer good to go for a long time. Also know that different lubes can affect how they...

    Lifted back to stock

    Also, depending on the lift amount (sorry if I missed it), you might be able to take er in to a spring shop and get the leaf springs de-arched. Yeah, that's a thing and it's simple and easy for a spring shop to do. And cheaper than buying new. But if they're certain aftermarket springs, then you...

    Lifted back to stock

    It's probably going to need all the usual stuff. If not now, then soon. That's part of buying an older vehicle: UCA, Other suspension/steering joints, Rear end seals (??), sunroof seal, water pump, radiator, steering rack bushings, CV shafts, U-joints, Wheel bearings/hubs, front drive shaft...

    Oil usage observations

    Maybe you'll get lucky: The sleeves are high-nickle content and many say they tend to look pretty good after many miles. You probably know they're micro-thin too. Let us know how they look when you get to that point.

    Oil usage observations

    That's about where mine is at too.... I'm planning a rebuild one of these days. Mine needs it: low oil pressure and low compression on the 3rd cyl. Most likely a burnt valve (fingers crossed). The timing chain tensioners ...who knows (??), probably worn to a nub. :rolleyes: But the Radio...

    Sunroof problem - how do I remove headliner?

    It's actually really easy to remove ....and pretty straight forward. I've had mine out 2 or 3 times. But as mentioned above, you can probably remove the window lace trim around the sunroof and get at it that way. Your motor gear is probably toast. They are available cheap off ebay ...for ~ $15...
