What did you do with your H3 recently? NEW

[zebra]

so at 187k miles, the leaking steering rack finally got replaced... along with the front output shaft seal of the t-case (which had been slinging fluid everywhere for a few thousand miles).

and mid-job, we recognized that the ball joints & passenger-side front diff bushing are shot. got new ones + control arms & wheel bearings on the way for next week. that's a lot of fixing money for a truck that ain't worth a whole lot nowadays

...but it's such a good truck.

Cheaper than a new one by a long shot and you're good for another few years.

I installed some super bright reverse lights so that people have fewer excuses when I’m reversing. These are like headlights!

Just got home from a road trip to Quebec 9 hour drive 1 way to pick up the rock sliders from citiboy. And then today I Removed the chrome step bars and the factory plastic fender liners for tomorrow's trip to Krown rust preventive appointment. Then I will be mounting my new OEM rock sliders this weekend.

One of these is not like the other.

New set ready for abuse.

 

[H3Hummer]

I like and have those too, still happy with my set

Installed marker lights on the windshield trim.

Found what was squeaking from the rear in Sand Hollow. Rear pads are worn down and uneven. Both lower slide pins were seized, and the rubber rings had deteriorated and stopped the pins from moving.

Also have new wheel bearings, tie rods and brakes. When my RCV CV joints get here in a few weeks I'm rebuilding my CV axles. Got rid of my amazon roof cross bars and got a really nice set from Front Runner.

Re doing the wire loom and upgrading the battery cables to 2 gauge.

Put some old school kc spots on the brushguard

Some concerns with PowerStop calipers. Supposed to be pressure tested but leaks with no brake pressure. Last set had early failures too, quality has dropped.

 

[woodwardsh3]

Started out replacing a wheel bearing / hub assembly, after buying 4 new tires. But my OCD kicked in now I have new inner and outer tie rods and boots, 2 lower ball joints, 1 upper control arm & ball joint. 2 new bump stops, 4 new shocks, 2 new CV axels and seals, New front diff mounts, Brake pads front and back, Man I wish I could just leave well enough alone. I still have to reassemble more than half of it. Everything takes longer when you get old. the mind is still 25 the body just caint keep up with it. Probably take me a couple more days to have everything back to gather. Should drive like new soon.

We were maintaining around 10 h3s at one point and were exclusively using powerstop z36 full kits with calipers as they came due for new brakes. Were were swapping over to powerstop and new stainless hardlines and soft lines with full fluid flush. About four years ago there was a national shortage of H3 powerstop calipers and they must have switched to a new manufacture as we started having issues with them leaking and eventually seizing. No good replacements unfortunately since then. Same issue with the "OEM" calipers from GM parts

I am on a few other Silverado forums and what you said has been the consensus for a few years now.

Locker pins about every other oil change at this point.

Ouch, time for an Ox or Detroit.
