[quote=""Duck Vader""]I might be real, but for me at least, those low of numbers are not worth it.
Plus to me, tuning things like the H3 are pointless. I only see a purpose in tuning performance stuff.[/quote]
Tuning is about more than just performance. I was going to have the Explorer tuned for drivability :d ontknow:
Yes, we bought an H3. Deal with it :p

Re: Yes, we bought an H3. Deal with it :p
The MPG and throttle response were what got me. Looks like we could also have it adjusted to fix the speedo for the bigger tires. Right now it reads about 7-8 mph low.
It's not anything we'll do right now. We might downsize the tires to stock. Who knows? We'll see how we like it once we're through winter and then decide.

I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

No shame in a tune that nets better throttle response, mpg and power. Sounds like a no brainer.
Re: Yes, we bought an H3. Deal with it :p
[quote=""Duck Vader""]Ya. Not worth $200 for that.Our performance tuning for the 2006-2012+ Hummer H3 typically yields 10-14hp and 1-3mpg
[/quote]At 1-3mpg...you could get that $200 back pretty quick in this thing.
Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?

Jeff, could probably reverse engineer the ECU and do it himself.

Right? If I could get 1-2mpg out of the Sequoia it'd pay off pretty fast lol.

My track record on reverse engineering isn't that good lately.

Meh. You can gain that plus more driving more sensible.

I think you might be failing to see the logic in proper tuning.

Re: Yes, we bought an H3. Deal with it :p
I get the "driveability" aspect. But in my experience, from the few cars I had tuned, the improvements have not been worth the price alone when you can do other things to improve it (tuned the GTI - worth it, and Mustang - worth it, but only because GTI turbo and Mustang had supporting mods). Throttle response would be the only aspect I would like, and only if it was truly terrible/annoying, and to me at least, $200 is not worth it. BUT THAT IS MY OPINION. You all can do whatever the fuck you want.

to get off the rust.

you could achieve this by soaking rags or paper towels in white vinegar and wraping what's rusted of zip tying them to the parts.
then paint

Honestly thinking about putting a batch of that into a pump sprayer and doing the entire underside of the avalanche. Then rinse with a backing soda solution, then por15.

Sadly Ive even thought about setting up a tarp with a pond pump and some sprayers. As the solution comes down it sucks if back up and sprays it back up.
That and I also have access to 2000 gal dump tanks at work so it really wouldnt be hard. Lol.

Its just he had it sitting in the solution for a long time. Only way to keep the underside wet is continual spray. The only way to continual spray the underside is lots of time or a pump and pool.

Re: Yes, we bought an H3. Deal with it :p
I already answered the reliability question.
In the last 10 years we've needed a tow vehicle once. So I rented one for the day. Home Depot rents Super Duties for $20/hr.
If fuel economy was a priority for me, I'd have bought a Volt. My C7 gets ~17 mpg around town. Vira's Mazda isn't any better. We don't care.
A newish Colorado would have been double or triple the price. We got this thing a couple thousand below KBB, and we paid cash, so we're not worried about resale.
This isn't meant to be a do-everything daily driver. It's a replacement for the Montero primarily for winter use and it's something to goof around with.
Don't overthink it.
