Lookin to trade my Caddy in on a new vehicle. Actually just batting it around.
Ive really become so fond of customized H1 Hummers with the slant back... diesel of course...
Fuel mileage and ride quality is not an issue... can anyone with any experience post up cons of owning one?
This is pretty much exactly what I would want...

The main thing I remember about them is they were SLOOOOOOOW
I do know they offered the Duramax and Allison combo with would be way more reliable and powerful, I dont know how deep your pockets are but they are EXPENSIVE....
They always came with a 6.5 DD, its gonna suuuuuuck. And leak oil. Which is very LT1 like, so maybe you will love it?
The 06 model has a LLY/A1000 combo, which is your best bet
So they can be bought with the better diesel....Quote:

Ive also seen them with Big blocks swapped in
2006 models. Duramax LLY. Has the potential for shoddy HG and weak head bolts, also tends to overheat if pulling full GCWR. But, I do not think a H1 can tow as much as the motor can so you should be fine unless someone put a big tune on her. Trans is good for "maybe" an additional 100hp over factory but you play with fire above that.Quote:

Whats interesting is if its an 06 engine, which means LBZ, which is like the LS1 on that family line. Few articles say LLY but 06 was LBZ so who knows.
Well I def wanted a diesel for towing... but a 502 would be cool.Quote:
