Off Road wear and tear items on your Hummer

Torque Traction 4. Kinda like the H3 hummers have with the traction control. It is an ok system.

Ahh. It has a fuse, right?

:wink: Sure does.... Wish It could BTM as nice as a regular BTM

Mike really likes the TT$ in his 2000 wagon after he got used to it.

I still have to get used to mine, and figure out how it works to use it 100% to its extent. Seems easier to BTM though.

I have only wheeled a TT4 truck a few times and have not gotten used to it myself.

Maybe next Moab trip Mike can teach us the "tecnique" to wheeling a tt4 truck. I know of a friend who has a 2002, but his tt4 dosent seem to work on the 3 rollers and 1 wheel on pavement thing. You can feel it wanting to gently rocking back and forth, but dosent ever engage, hence why he has lockers

There's no substitute for actual locking diffs. I know I'm going to miss having a front locker - my new-to-me D60 doesn't have one...yet. Luckily, the 14b has a factory locker in it that will get me by until I can cough up for an ARB.

I feel H1s can get away without lockers but my H3 had a night and day difference since adding a locker

BTMing has worked well for me. They few times I took the Alpha OT to Moab the lockers made everything really easy. The lockers give you slightly more control but then you can decide you need to BTM at any point in an obstacle and do it.

BTM seems to be a lot more in effective though on the earlier trucks with full BTMing abilities. But TT4 does have its advantages IMO in snow, sand, anything you can't really go slow on.

 

[3Hummers]

Did you mean a lot less or MORE effective on the earlier trucks? More would be the right answer.

:roll:Talking on the phone about how much tt4 is less effective, and btm is more effective, and I musta switched them around:whaa:

Multi-tasking...gave it up years ago because I am much better when focused on the task at hand.

Well I can add lower ball joints & another dealer I won't be going back to again on the list. Hopefully they did a better job on the transmission than the stuff I could see & hear. Apparently it only squeaks when I'm around so they needed me there to push on the bumper one time so they could hear it. 10 minutes later they come back out & say it needs ball joints after having it for a week. They were also very proud they noticed the place in Atlanta put the UCP on wrong (one side was above & one under the factory skid plate) would have been ok if they hadn't done worse job on it, they put the back piece under the front with all mismatched bolts. I walk out mumbling and didn't even make it out of the parking when he calls me to see if I want them to order the ball joints, "uh no I think I'll try somewhere else or do them myself" but it's under warranty, click.

Sorry to hear about that, better luck next time and you rarely find dealerships that arent stealerships.
