Not fun - we were bought by PNC Bank - So I have been busy as hell the last year changing our technology environment to meet their standards.

Late nights and weekends!

I did buy a new toy 3 months ago - 2010 Hummer H3 Alpha (5.3L 300HP, NAV, Off Road package, black on black with chrome accent)

I love it - Now I need a boat and I'm good to go!

Dude - I so want to do what you did to my car.

Your car sounds exactly like Perry's did when he had the Procharger.

Your car is Fantastic!

I'm going to say yes - its the LH8 Vortec 5300.

She just turned 2k miles - man I hope I'm not in for a world of hurt down the road....? Do you know something I should know?

Nice - I wonder what my LS6 would do and how much $$$ it would take.

I'd prob be better off buying an LS2\3 block and starting from scratch.

No way the ls6 likes boost just as much, if anything I'd pick up forged internals so you can go past 10psi. There's a couple guys in the Chicago crew making good power on they're c5zs

Chit - I guess I will have to do some research - It is the 2010 model though - I'm guessing if there were any previous issues they would have been solved by now....

I've been hanging out at the Hummer forums and havn't seen anything negative about the V8 - I did read about some head gasket issues on the I-5 - but that was only older H3's.
