  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2006 Hummer H3
  • The best way to pick out a transmission cooler to replace the factory one on your 2006 Hummer H3 would be to measure the area in front of your radiator/AC condenser and pick out the biggest cooler that would fit in that area. The Derale Cooler # D13504 that you referenced would be an excellent choice for a transmission cooler as long as you have the clearance for it. The dimensions of this cooler are 11 inch wide x 12 inch tall x 7/8 inch deep. I attached an installation video for this...

  • Will Miles Be Registered When Flat Towing 2007 Hummer H3
  • If your electronics is off and the transfer case is in neutral, then you should not be registering miles on your 2007 Hummer H3 when flat towing. To flat tow you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety chains, wiring to engage your Hummer's lights, a brake light relay and a supplemental braking system. You may also need a high-low adapter in order to keep your Hummer level, and I've added a link to a help article which shows you how to determine if you need an adapter as well as a link...

  • Roof Mount Cargo Bag Recommendation for a Hummer H3 without a Roof Rack
  • I recommend going with a different bag that you can use with the hooks on your Hummer H3. Rightline cargo bag # RL100S30 should be a good option for you. It will attach to a vehicle with or without a roof rack, and in the event that the hooks aren't going to work, which is unlikely, then you could use car clips # RL100600 to secure it to the roof. The clips fit in the gap between the roof and top of the door. I also recommend using protective pad # RL100650 to not only protect the Hummer...

  • How To Mount a Winch On the Front of a 2007 Hummer H3
  • I do have a winch mounting option for a 2007 Hummer H3 but it requires a front mount trailer hitch and hitch mounted winch tray like the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31270 and Bulldog Winch Receiver Mount Kit part # BDW20155 or you could go with the ComeUp Off-Road Winch w/ Mounting Plate for 2" Hitches part # CU854768.

  • Can a Transmission Cooler be Used to Bypass the Factory Cooler on a 2007 Hummer H3
  • It is usually the other way around with factory transmissions coolers in radiators. By that I mean that normally you see a problem with the factory coolers, not the aftermarket replacements. It is possible to bypass the factory cooler in the radiator by blocking off the input/output locations for the transmission cooler on the radiator. You would then need to mount the largest possible cooler that you can get to fit or install a remote cooler with its own fan. The Series 9000 Plate-Fin...

  • We offer several options for supplementary braking systems for the 2008 Hummer H3 that has the power-assisted brakes. The linked page will let you see all of them. These include both systems that require only a one-time set up, like the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251, and systems that require a recurring set up each time you use it, such as the Roadmaster BrakeMaster # RM-9060-900002 for RVs with hydraulic brakes. Depending on your RV you may need the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit #...

  • Can a Reducer and Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter be Used Together for Thule Bike Rack on Hummer H3
  • I do not recommend using an adapter inside of another adapter because it creates too many points of movement. Also the use of an adapter such as # MPG544 will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. Which Thule bike carrier to you have and how much extension do you need. I am assuming you need to clear a spare tire or something else on the back of your 2006 Hummer H3. If you used just the reducer sleeve, # HT02, you would not suffer a tongue weight capacity...

  • Spare Tire Bike Rack Recommendation for 2006 Hummer H3
  • For your 2003 Hummer H3 we have spare tire mounted bike racks that are a confirmed fit, but the Yakima you mentioned is not so I would not recommend it for you. Instead the Thule Spare Me 2 part # TH963PRO would be a great option that is confirmed as a fit. Your tire size would not be an issue either. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal...

  • Pollak 7-Way to 4-Way Adapter Recommendation for a 2006 Hummer H3
  • Most 7-way to 4-way adapters can be used in virtually any 7-way. Your Pollak 7-way should not require you to only use a Pollak adapter, but if your current one isn't working properly your best option at this point would be to go with the Pollak adapter part # PK12716.

  • Recommendation for Large Roof Top Mount Cargo Baskets for a 2007 Hummer H3
  • If your 2007 Hummer H3 has a factory roof rack with cross bars that run side to side, there are a few baskets rated to fit. First is the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Carrier, # Y07070. The overall dimensions are 44 inches long x 39 inches wide x 6-1/2 inches tall. I have included a link to the installation details below. Second is the Thule Canyon XT with extension, # TH859XT-8591XT. This is a larger basket at 69 x 40 x 6 inches. If your Hummer has no rack but tracks that run front...

  • How To Attach Ski/Rod Carrier to Cargo Basket
  • If you wish to use both a ski/rod carrier and a cargo basket I do have options for you but you'd need a certain type of cargo basket, one that lets you mount crossbars on top so you can then attach the ski/rod carrier. The Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket part # Y07138 is a great option for this that comes with the accessory bars needed to mount a ski/rod carrier like the Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier part # RR572. There's also an extension available, the 18" Extension for Yakima...

  • Adapter Needed for Towing Hummer H3 with Roadmaster Base Plate with Blue OX Tow Bar
  • The Roadmaster base plate kit you'd have on your 2006 Hummer H3 would either be the XL part # 2505-1 or the MX kit part # 2505-3. To use either with a Blue Ox tow bar require the part # RM-032 for if your base plate is the XL or the part # BX88185 for if you have the MX. For a Blue Ox Tow bar the Alpha part # BX7380 would be a fantastic option that would work well. There currently isn't an adapter that will allow you to use a Ready Brute tow bar.

  • E-Bike Rack Solution for Rear of 2008 Hummer H3
  • There aren't any tire mounted bike racks that have the weight capacity needed for carrying e-bikes like you have but there are hitch options. Your 2008 Hummer H3 may have came with a factory hitch but if not you'd need one installed like the Draw Tite part # 75382 so that you could install and use an e-bike rack like the # HLY64FR and you'd have a really great and safe solution to carry your e-bikes. Not all e-bike racks are rated for use at the rear of a towed vehicle but this rack is....

  • Comparing Curt and Draw Tite Hitches for 2008 Hummer H3
  • The Draw Tite Max Hitch part # 75382 and the Curt part # C13270 are very similar hitches made by two different companies. The designs are very similar so functionally they would perform the same and install the same. Biggest difference is that the Curt is made in the USA and costs a little bit more. Both are excellent hitches that are very high quality. I attached an install video for the Draw Tite for you to check out as well. If you needed trailer wiring you'd want the kit part # 18252...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation and Install Recommendation for 2007 Hummer H3
  • Your 2007 Hummer H3 should have four or five blunt cut wires under the left side of the instrument panel to the left of the steering column. You should see a bundle that contains a red wire with a black stripe, a white wire, light blue wire with a white stripe, a dark blue wire and possibly an orange wire. The bundle could be above the emergency foot brake, behind the plastic kick panel or above the brake pedal. This bundle of wires is what is used to hook up the electrical lead wires...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2008 H3 Towing a Boat Trailer with a 5-Way
  • I can help, you will need to order a Draw-Tite Wiring Harness # 81252. This is a hardwire kit that will require you to use the included circuit tester to determine the functions of your tail light wiring harness and wire them to the # 18252 accordingly. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product for you to check out as well. Once that is installed you will have a 4-way. Now you will need to convert this to a 5-way, in order to do that you will need a Adapter...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2007 Hummer H3
  • The best way to pick out a transmission cooler for a vehicle is to measure the area in front of the radiator and go with the biggest one that will fit the available space. As long as you have room for it the Derale Cooler part # D13503 along with the correct fitting kit part # D13035 would be a great choice for your 2007 Hummer H3. I attached an install video for this cooler plus an FAQ on transmission coolers for you to check out as well.

  • Tandem Axle Boat Trailer Tire Wear on Inside of Tire
  • Tire "scrubbing" like what you described does not typically only wear out the insides of a trailer tire. When trailer tires are worn more on the insides then anywhere else that indicates typically that the axle is being overloaded. Axles have a natural arch in them that arches up so that when they are under a load they are horizontal and you get even wear on your tires. Overloading your axle would mean that it is arching towards the ground some and would cause that inside wear. I recommend...
