GM Awards Hummer H2 Product License To Edelbrock’s Xtreme Rod Hall Signature Series Shocks TORRANCE, Calif. (March 21, 2003) – General Motors has designated Edelbrock’s Xtreme “Rod Hall Signature Series” Remote Reservoir Shock Absorbers for the Hummer H2 as a GM Service Parts Operations (SPO) Licensed Product. It is the first aftermarket shock absorber for the Hummer H2 licensed by GM. The announcement means the remote reservoirs shocks for H2 (PN 33036-34036) will now be sold through GM SPO retail outlets, in addition to Winkel Hummer/Rod Hall Hummer and Edelbrock Performance retailers nationwide. The shocks were developed as a collaborative effort between Edelbrock and Rod Hall, and are manufactured by Edelbrock in Torrance, California. GM, which sponsors the Rod Hall Hummer race team, is adding the Xtreme Rod Hall Signature Series Shocks to its Hummer accessory catalog. “We’re pleased to have our Xtreme Rod Hall Signature Series Shocks licensed by GM,” said Vic Edelbrock Jr., President and CEO of the Edelbrock Corporation. “It salutes the teamwork between Rod Hall and our company, and speaks very highly of the quality and workmanship of our remote reservoir shocks.” Edelbrock has combined its patented “Ricor” Inertia Active System with the benefits of a reservoir for increased oil capacity delivering superior performance and cooler operation in demanding off-road conditions. Features include a 5/8-inch diameter Nitro Steel piston rod for off-road durability; 46mm IAS valve for superior control in demanding conditions; and a great-looking zinc-plated and clear powder coated finish with high-quality -6 braided stainless steel line. IAS shocks are tuned for each application and tested on and off-road with a final dyno check before going into production. The Edelbrock “Ricor” Inertia Active Valve System delivers super steering response around turns with a smooth ride over rough roads. The exclusive design switches instantly between a firm and a soft circuit to offer superior handling and a comfortable ride– the best of both worlds. The Edelbrock Corporation is celebrating its 65th anniversary of manufacturing and marketing the highest quality aftermarket performance automotive and motorcycle products. Edelbrock’s product line now features more than 7,500 performance products, including exhaust headers, camshafts, carburetors, aluminum manifolds, exhaust systems, suspension, shocks, EFI systems, nitrous systems, crate engines, brake and fuel lines and fluid transfer products.
