About me:
My name is John S. Camilleri and my cell phone number is 716-583-0215. I live near Buffalo, NY and that is where the vehicle is kept. I worked as an engineer for GM Powertrain Tonawanda Engine Plant for 6 years as an electrical engineer. I attended GMI (General Motors Institute, in Flint, MI). I am an avid automobile enthusiast and I take very good care of my toys. I currently work as an engineer and I oversee all the maintenance on my vehicles with particular attention to the Hummer.
About the truck:
I bought the truck in Sacramento California and drove it 2500 miles back to Buffalo, NY. I had no problems whatsoever with the truck and I averaged about 14 mpg on the trip. It has never been driven in the winter or in the salt and the body and frame are free from corrosion. (That is why I went to California to get it) I drive it a couple days a week. Run errands and to work. It turns heads better than any other car I have ever driven. I would not hesitate to drive this truck all the way across the country again! It runs like a top… Driving up huge mountains in the Rockies the truck never went over 205 degrees!
Why I am selling it:
This is ironic. I am selling the truck to put up a bigger garage to keep more cars / trucks in.
The vehicle just was inspected by a mechanic and the rear caliper is leaking brake fluid. I am having it repaired this week prior to the vehicle being sold. I am also having the oil changed while it is in for service.
Delivery can be arranged at buyers expense.
$500 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction.
HERE IS SOME INFORMATION ON MAJOR CHANGES ON HUMMER H1’S. I REALLY LIKE THE 1997.5 AND UP HUMMER H1’S BECAUSE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS LISTED BELOW.
There were significant changes for the 1997 model year. All 1997 models came with a sound proofing package that reduced interior noise significantly, and turbo diesel engine changes that increased power 5 hp and 45 lb.ft. torque over the previous years model. The power increases on the turbo are enough that they are noticeable. Power output for the Turbo model Hummers remained consistent from '97 through the 2003 model year. The N/A Diesel was still available in '97 but the Gas engine was not available after the 1996 model year. Along with improved ventilation, the 1997 model also offered optional heated windshields to combat windshield frosting which can be a problem on earlier models. Mid year changes were significant enough that the later 1997 Hummers are referred to as "1997.5" models (the factory referred to them as 1997-2 models). The first "1997.5" has a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of VE176477 (last 8 digits). Changes for 1997.5 included a much improved HVAC system that was both much more efficient and easier to service and the new Monsoon stereo system with overhead console. 1997 and especially 1997.5 models have many features and refinements which make them favorite years for many Hummer enthusiasts.
Significant changes for 1997. Increased horsepower and torque on Turbo Diesel engine. Compression ratio went from 21.5:1 in 1996 to 20.2:1 in 1997. Engine also now features an oil spray piston cooling system. For 1997 both turbo and non-turbo diesel models are equipped with integrated power steering pump and reservoir. Complete redesign of the exhaust system from the crossover pipe to the tailpipe. The new design incorporates a one-piece heatshield with added stiffeners to reduce exhaust resonance. Heavy Duty rear bumper standard. Black High Gloss Wheels. Black Grille with High Gloss Black Underbody and Bumpers. Different Seat Fabric and sew style pattern. All seat adjustments moved to front of seat (some adjustments moved back to sides on later model years). Low coolant and glow plug monitoring lights added on dash. Sliding rear window on HMC4 and XLC2 now standard. Deluxe Interior now standard. Air intake Scoop for improved ventilation . New Rear Scupper valves improve ventilation. All vehicles meet new high speed fuel filling (CARB) requirement. New style water crossover for non-turbo engine. Additional bleeder valves added to radiator where overflow hose attaches to radiator. Surge tank redesigned. Shroud-mounted style power steering oil cooler now on non-turbo diesels also. Turbos and non-turbos now have common accessory drives. Heated Windshield option. "6.5L Turbo" badges added on turbo models. Shifter boot cover for increased boot protection and reduced heat and noise. New Color Fly Yellow (only year for Fly Yellow, slightly darker "Competition Yellow" '98 on) Tan and Blue Metallic dropped for '97. VLCO Half Door Open Top and VLC2 2-Passenger regular cab no longer available. HVAC Changes 1997. Newly designed auxiliary unit with angle-mounted louvers. Same compressor on turbo and non-turbo diesels. Improved air ducting. Blower motor revision to push rather than pull heat and A/C through HVAC system. Revised close-out dash panels to provide more air distribution to the floor vents. Additional changes for '97.5 Enhanced HVAC system with increased efficiency and easier serviceability (in addition to changes listed for 1997 above). Monsoon radio available with overhead console.
With major changes for '97 and '97.5 there were relatively few changes for 1998. Several changes were made towards quieter operation, differential gear ratios were changed so engine revs would be lower at highway speed, geared hubs were made quieter , the cooling fan and clutch were changed and an insulated top was added for Open Top Models. Although all these items help make the 1998 quieter, the difference over the 1997 model is not dramatic. Two new colors were added for 1998, Candy Apple Red, which replaced Gloss Red, proved very popular and Competition Yellow which replaced the harder to match Fly Yellow of 1997.
Powertrain and Identification Information. VIN 10th Digit designating year = "W" Engine: 6.5L Diesel 170 H.P. 290 lb. ft. VIN 4th digit ="Y" 36 produced. Optional Engine: 6.5L Turbo Diesel 195 H.P. 430 lb. ft. VIN 4th digit ="Z" 909 produced. 4L80E Electronic 4 speed Automatic Transmission. VIN 5th digit ="A" Top Speed 83+ mph with Turbo. 945 '98 models built.
Significant changes for 1998. Axle ratio changed from 2.73:1 to 2.56:1 on Turbo Diesel Models lowering engine revs at highway speeds. Non-turbo models remained at 2.73:1. Rear cargo doors added to central locking system. Cam style camber adjustment early running change. Before cam adjusters, Hummer alignments were done by the dealer in the first 1,000 miles after delivery. With the cam adjusters initial alignments were done at the factory. New cam adjusters make alignments easier but are easier to knock out of spec. Some Hummer owners who use their Hummers off-road have retrofitted the earlier style shim adjusters. New insulated top on Open Top Models. New finishing on geared hubs to make them quieter. New fan clutch comes on at higher temperature and new 8 blade cooling fan offers quieter operation. VIN 180123 and above. New Color Candy Apple Red replaces Gloss Red. New Color Competition Yellow replaces Fly Yellow. Burgundy Metallic no longer available.
