Yesterday was a busy day... Installed Air Doc Intake with an AFE Air Filter... Since I had everything apart I cleaned the Mass Air Flow Sensor & Throttle Body... Thanks to Boerwarrior his thread really helped out on this... here is the link if anyone needs to do this... http://www.hummer4x4offroad.com/forum/showthread.php?1928-Throttle-body-and-MAF-sensor-cleaning ... I also Changed the spark plugs with Acdelco Iridium Plugs and the Super Sparkz ignition coil spark plug spring delete upgrade... H3 is running awesome now...

Here is a pic of the Super Sparkz......

 

[WillieMo]

The Plugs were pretty fouled up... especially the number one plug... It was really rusted on the outside as well...

Cool! What color is your H3?

 

[WillieMo]

Originally Black but it is wrapped in flat black

 

[hockeymanam]

okay so I want to go flat black but some many people wrap it and since i like going on trails alot im scared the a branch will scratch the vinal right off then it will lead to the whole panel peeling off. Why did you wrap vs paint? seem like paint would be the way to go and from what i understand its cheaper.

 

[WillieMo]

OK so I got the truck like that so it made the decision easy LOL but I had wanted to do it to my previous H3... I was told by a few people that the flat black paint would not hold up too long in the Miami sun... the 3m wrap is UV resistant and so far seems pretty tough I've gone through some bush heavy trails and so far it's held up... plus I figure if I scratch it I can just re-wrap that panel only... if I had to do it again I would... I love it!!!! oooh best of all pressure wash and done... no water spots or streaks and no worries of protecting paint finish with waxing...

 

[WillieMo]

BTW if you do it get ready to answer a lot of questions... I get people continuously asking me about it... I even had a state trooper pull in to a gas station after me to ask about it the other day...

 

[hockeymanam]

dont mind me asking how much is it?

 

[WillieMo]

Not sure since I got the H3 like that... but I've seen prices from $1300 to $2500

I got the info from another forum... http://www.355nation.net/forum/supe...ring-delete-upgrade-prices-ordering-info.html

I sent payment sunday and had them by friday...

Willie, not sure, but think the second battery needs to have a couple wires running off it to do any good...

AC Blower stopped working!!!!

Saturday I was on my way to hit some trails with my brother so he could get some cool photos and my AC stop working... yep, the AC Blower resistor pigtail had burned up but thanx again to some awesome forum posts I was able to fix it myself with $2.49 worth of connectors... BTW this same thing happened on my 2006 H3 and my local mechanic shop charged me $280 to fix it... It took me about 45 minutes including my trip to Radio Shack...

Here are the pics of the pigtail (it took some work to get apart from the resistor since they were kind of melted together...

I cut the wire from the connector and with my dremel I cut the burnt end of the plug off...

Here is a pic of the piece I cut off...

I cleaned up the resistor end as much as I could since it was still good...

This is where the connector and some shrink wrap comes in handy... just crimped it on and plugged it in along with the remaining piece of the pigtail...

Here is the finished product installed and working perfect...

[WillieMo]

No problem it helped me out bigtime.... I appreciate the time these guys take to post these mods and how to threads... They are life savers!!!
