RE: H3 Owners - Check your CV Boots! (and how to)
I would wonder if the 4wd Canyons and Colorados have the same problem. It would make sense that if they share similar drive trerrain components, they may share boots as well. Yes, I know the half shafts are longer in the H3.

I just got mine out of the shop. They replaced the entire half shaft because it was quicker to do that then wait for the right part to come in. I asked what the price was for the shaft, and the service guy said about $600. I think he is off on that, maybe including labor, but at any rate, its way more expensive then the boot would have cost. I'm glad that was a warranty item.

This seal protects a joint that moves back and fourth and twists and bends when you turn your tire and wheel, or hit a bump. The actual shaft that connects from your transfer case (engine for novices) to your wheel is connected by this CV joint and transfers power from your engine to your wheel.

How many output shafts does this transfer case have anyways? LOL .. [&:] And.. does that mean my U joint is a driveshaft? Don't mean to pick on ya... LOL, I'm just trying to picture, in my head, what it would all look like. [>:] I'm going to go grease my muffler bearring.
The funny thing is the H3 is a GM product, while the Humvee, H1 and H2 are made by AM general (or at least designed by them), and they still can't get the H3 right. Well, it's a small problem for a what it is.

LOL Don't worry about it. I was trying to be simple!
I know exactly how everything is connected and works, but I wanted to explain it in a way that was simple for people that don't know about cars to understand. Believe me, I read this 100 times and knew SOMEBODY was going to say I was wrong, but I didn't want to have to explain to everybody what a differential is, a transfer case, half-shaft, torsion bar, etc. because it would just be more confusing.
If you get too technical for people that don't understand engines and drivetrains, they can get confused easily. If the average car owner reads this they would probably say "What is a transfer case?" or "What is a differential?" I bet alot of people don't know what lockers and gear ratios are either.
So, I guess I am a little mis-informed about who designs what.
You mean I can't grease my muffler bearings? The next thing you are going to tell me is that I can't upgrade the spark plugs in my brake rotors. Sheesh..............

Would you know if the wiggling pin on the wobbling shaft that makes the shimmying bar osculate is broken? I always keep my muffler bearings full of grease, my turn signal fluid topped off, and replace my piston return springs regularly. I also keep my spark plugs fresh in my diesel truck, and my coolant clean in my old VW bug. Proper maintenance is very important.
