Catalytic converter is legally required. Muffler is not.
Gonna use working catalytic converter. Gonna attach to custom stainless straight through pipe instead of muffler.
Rubber on support bracket is aligned perpendicular to muffler. I will use old tire to make new rubber loop at 90 degrees to...
Well, pulled the exhaust system. Finally!
Unconventional removal. Finally forced the bolts in the cat converter out. Dropped the cat. Then cut the rubber support for the muffler so support bracket removal became a non-issue.
Horsepower has returned!!! Haven’t checked shifting.
Gonna do glow...
H2 rims will fit with some minor modifications, for a reasonable price.
Hummer H1 17” split rims will fit but are pricy. You can keep Runflats with these.
Cepek 17” rims are an awesome choice. They have correct offset and take over 3000 lbs per corner. He makes custom Runflats for these.
Have you read about Nissan Armada spring thread?
Have you considered swapping to Hummer H1 Wagon style springs and shocks? Have you considered adjustable CEPEK shocks from Tom Cepek?
I’ve helped a few members with similar issues. Simple affordable DIY solution.

I just drove and Eric/Hummer H1’s pick up. He has converted to 12 V. He has converted the dashboard to all electric gauges. He has soundproofed it. He has custom-made an aluminum roof.
Yesterday we went for a drive. We had a conversation in low voices. He is not finished soundproofing, however...
With swear jar at the ready, I tackled the oil cooler. A day earlier a double rainbow gave me hope that I might meet with success.
The shallow soft steel hex heads are… challenging.
Blow torch for each one. Loosen and tighten technique. Two came out easily. One came out after I hammered in a...
No power. Black smoke. Rechecked timing and TPS and all correct.
Spoke to Steve and worked with Hummer H1.
Eric and I had disconnected the exhaust early on for other reasons. Yesterday I reconnected. Suddenly no power. Timing and throttle sensor were checked. Still issues. Texted with Steve...
Respectfully, all caps posts are a no-go.
Profiles require city and state IIRC. Please fix your profile.
What year and what model?
Did you replace the fuel and ensure the water is removed from the filter?
Is your injection pump functional?
Is white smoke exiting your exhaust?
Is the...
Thanks for the support!
No leaks on the air intake. I’ve replaced or refurbished all the air hose clamps. Just found another silly oil leak around the transmission cooler, but, I’m changing that entire assembly tomorrow hopefully. The 200 amp is definitely better than the 400 amp because it...
Well, seems like there may be a happy ending…
Brought fluid down to appropriate. Shifts downhill but not uphill. Black smoke uphill. Downhill shifts all four gears. Uphill engine is gutless and exhaust turns black.
When I placed the new IP I am guessing the timing is not right. I will retime...
Well, I am farked…
Transmission just pumps out code 12 over and over. Because tranny came empty from GovPlanet I cannot inspect the old fluid for shards of metal or burned fluid…
Nothing else… just 1-2….1-2….1-2….1-2….1-2…etc.
My fluid level is high. I will drain some off and recheck shift...
Sometimes you gotta laugh.
I forgot that the glow plug temp sending unit was removed from my rig by the military, and that I filled the hole with a plug.
My post asking about disconnecting the glow plug unit was unecessary. I have my Genius Box with manual control. No temp sensor required. I...
Thanks NDT.
What “pops out” to me are two things:
The $$$ saved
The fact that I’m almost certain that this is the oil cooler setup that SteelSoldiers himself sent back due to this damage. Makes his and my rigs brothers through organ donation. 😆
