1st I would check the ground cables... Then inspect your starter.

I agree with Ed's06h3, and check that fuses didn't blow when you installed the new battery... And inspecting the starter, might including giving it a hit with something, to see if it will turn over!

I'm guessing your electrics work, right? That hissing may be the fuel pump. Renegade has a good point about checking fuses. To Ed's point, don't just check the ends of the the ground cable but make sure it hasn't frayed anywhere else. Had a similar issue with a friends Jeep and it ended up being frayed wiring.

Turns out I needed a new starter, aslo is there way to get more amps out of my alternator. I have 2000 watt amp for my 2 12inch subs in the back. Soe times when I start it it starts really week

I believe you can get a larger alternator into the H2.

got the same year and i have a 600 watt amp with, if i'm not mistaken, 3 7" subs. it starts pretty strong i think.

You can install a much stronger alternator, that cranks out a lot more. I did, and it makes a huge difference, especially now a days with how many gadgets we can constantly keep adding to the trucks. I just added a 2200 watt Crunch Amp and a single 10" Kenwood subwoofer in a small kicker box (less room taken up) and it not only thumps but sounds amazing! My sound guy is great at designing systems, he converted all my stock Bose speakers into just vocals, so everthing sounds clear with great Base in the background! If you have any questions on sound systems, just send me a private message and I will try to get you an answer!
