Significant changes for 1997.5-1998.
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.
Valuable upgrades to look for in a 1997.5-98
Although steering components were upgraded several times by '98, the factory Problem Solver Idler and Pitman arms introduced in later years are much more durable than those on a '98.
Enhanced engine block- Turbo Diesel Engines with block castings before May 1999 are susceptible to #8 cylinder cracks. Most frequently the first symptom of a cylinder crack is coolant being forced out of the cooling system causing the check coolant light to illuminate. Many engines have been replaced with blocks of the same design. Even though the enhanced blocks were first produced in May 1999 it took some time before they made their way through the system and into Hummers as either original equipment or for replacement. Even Hummers produced in 2000 are likely to have the pre-May 1999 block casting. There is a casting number on the right rear of the block under the cylinder head which should be E_99 (May 1999) or later. Unfortunately the codes changed through the years so identifying the enhanced blocks is even more difficult. Later blocks also use metric bolts to attach the bell housing but it is unclear whether this clearly identifies an enhanced block. Although enhanced blocks were installed in Hummers produced before the engine manufacturer change to General Engine Products (GEP), the easiest way to make sure a Hummer left the factory with an enhanced block is to check the 4th digit of the VIN on 2001 and later 6.5L turbo diesels. If the 4th digit is an F the engine was produced by GEP and is sure to have the enhanced block from the factory.
