HUMMER Production Starting Ahead of Schedule

A limited run of HUMMER H3 and H3T models will begin this coming Monday at GM’s plant in Shreveport, Louisiana according to those familiar with the matter. Following the limited run, regular production will resume on November 9th.

Originally, dealers were told that production wouldn’t begin until November, and even though this only puts everyone a week ahead of schedule, dealers will be excited about having new inventory earlier than expected.

The Shreveport plant is also gearing up for global production, which depending on the destination country, could start soon. Building for left-hand-drive nations will only take some minor adjustments to the current equipment, but building right-hand-drive HUMMERs will take a more time and more equipment.

Currently, the plant equipment used to make these models in South Africa is being dismantled and shipped to Shreveport. Originally, the Shreveport plant only produced models bound for North America, but will now build H3s for all the 39 countries that have HUMMER distribution.

Moving global production to Shreveport is good news for the plant workers, who also make the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon – production of which has been somewhat sporadic due to the Cash for Clunkers program.

THE REAL DEAL (WHY BUY A HUMMER) PART# 1

These Pictures of from a Military friend of mine and a who was involved in a I.E.D Explosion while he was in the back seat of his HUMVEE in Afghanistan.

One of the Soldiers was ejected from the Gun Turret and landed on a hill many yards away. The Drive had broken legs and everyone else was bruised up pretty good, but all in all they were ok.

Take a look at the Destruction the BOMB caused and he and his crew are still here to live another day. Thanks HUMMER :-)

Torsion Bar Turn Night :-) 1-10-2007

Rick Harter, Carl Fantuazzo, Virgil Rotella and Peter Colombo did  the torsion bar turn. It was VERY easy and took about 20 minutes each Rig. This TB turn allowed us to make way for the 315/75 R 16 35'S that are going on this Friday.

BTW: Torsion Bar Instructions below.

The front bar adjustments are located roughly under the divider between the front and rear doors--it is a bolt that is 1 1/16th inch. Measure from ground to bottom of fender BEFORE turning, then jack it up, turn CLOCKWISE the number of turns you want, then set down--remeasure.

***NOTE*** YOU MUST THEN GET IT ALIGNED.
