Yeah...Real easy....[sm=badidea.gif]. You might as well just do a whole engine swap while you're at it. Start with an LS2 v8, then a six speed Allison.......Woo-hoo!!

not trying to argue, but just to give you some info...the auto trans in the h3 is a 4L60-E four-speed automatic...all you have to do really is drop the full time transfer case and bolt up a new part time case. Advance adapters would have any adapters you would need....it's not that hard of an install at all...at least it shouldn't be. Bieng that the h3 uses a very common trans, finding a t-case would be easy and not all that expensive. If I keep my h3 I'll be putting my atlas II transfer case into it...hardest part of the job will be cutting holes in the floor for the shifters.

yea, I don't know...the atlas is a fully mechanical t-case...no electronics needed. So it would need no computer input or monitoring to work. Unhooking the stock t-case wouldn't make the truck run any different...not like a bad 02 sensor....you'll maybe get a CEL but that's it. It's definately gonna be an interesting project for someone...but I don't think I'm keeping my h3, I really need child safety door locks and the 06's don't have em.

oh, I'm going to be getting another hummer when I trade my 06 in, but won't be swapping out t-cases on a brand new h3 with warrantyIf I had kept the 06 and the warranty was almost out then I would do a swap. I need to get another h3 so the wife has a car for the groceries

If you never take your H3 off-road, and it is the "grocery getter", might I suggest a Trailblazer SS instead? A much more practical ride if all you are doing is getting groceries. And, it will probably get better mileage than your H3 does, anyway.....[sm=crossbonesgif.gif][sm=happybounce.gif][sm=icon_ladiesman.gif][sm=smiley20.gif][sm=yeahsmile.gif][sm=icon_cheers.gif][sm=burnout.gif]
