Re: That V8 tho...
Sounds like Chevy used it more to make the suspension have variable damping.

It's definitely meant to be an active participant in the suspension.Steve wrote:Yea that looks like a bump stop or snubber. Should be the last ditch resort for your suspension.
Looks like a base model. I doubt you'd want to figure out how to get me the transfer case even if it was the off road modelSteve wrote: BTW an H3 hit my local yard. Let me know if you need anything.

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.

Interesting that its constantly under load. All the other torsion vehicles I own have a significant gap where that would be used only as a last resort when fully compressing the suspension.
Your TC bad? Aren't they all "off road" models?

That TC probably weighs half the weight of my car.

Re: That V8 tho...
It's not bad. It's just rare and I'd like a spare.
H3 Off Road pack is like the Rubicon pack on a Jeep. The transfer case is 4:1 instead of 2.54:1 or something like that.

Yeah. 4:1 transfer, underbody armor with rock sliders, center and rear lockers for 06-08, and all three lockers for 09-10.
That's why I jumped on getting ours. It's an 09 and all the little extra bits were still there. It seems like most of the ones with the off road pack are missing the underbody parts.

I found a picture of Coop after reading that your H3 has all three lockers in it.

Last minute, heavy labor mods would seem like a good decision, right?

Nah. It was was something that started out at a 120* angle, and ended at a 70* angle.
