08 H2
Just picked up a new 08 H2. Power is pretty good. I love the car but mpg is really bad compared to an Escalade. Took my car to vegas and lake havasu over the weekend. H2 seems strong enough to tow my boat but coming home from vegas w/o the boat and climbing hills, the transmission doesn't hold gear very long to give enough power. Anyone have an 08 with this problem? Also wondering if the predator will make it better? Thanks

I don't have an 08 H2 but I have heard a few people complain the the 6 speed transmission does shift too much. I would call and talk to the Predator guys but I think they claim their programmer fixes a lot of that.

My best friend bought an 08H2 last month and he gets exactly the same mpg that i get in my 07, around 12.5. Also, he hates the 6spd tranny....says its always in such a low rpm that to get any power he almost has a double downshift to get up to speed. I guess they did that to offset the bigger engine for better MPG.

In a few day's, mine's averaging 11mpg in mixed driving. If it gets up to 13-14 after it's broken in, I'll be thrilled. 
Isn't there a forum member who recently became a Preadator dealer? I remember seeing a post a week or so ago whilst I was lurking. He mentioned something about there being a lot of markup in one, lol. I'll take one with the forum discount please.
