Maintenance Log for Hummers:
This is here for my records, as well as for others to see what it's like to maintain a Hummer, and any costs involved. Usually I try to do warranty work myself even if it involves the dealer shipping the parts to me since they are an hour away. It's fun, and the AM General service manual really helps out.
2000 Yellow Wagon #1 (Daily Driver):
- Delivery (6 miles) - On delivery, the Hummer had a chafed wire causing the engine to stall. Electrical tape fixed this problem.
- 3,000 mi - 3000mi service performed. Front/Left diff seal leaking (Warranty).
- 6,000 mi - 6000mi service performed. No problems.
- 8,109 mi - Power steering pump replaced (Nipple broke on it) (Warranty)

2000 Woodland Green Wagon:
