.... Turbo diesels produced from 1996 (when they were first offered on the Hummer) to some say into 2001 are at risk...

One of the largest Hummer Dealers says "Most #8 cylinder cracks are appearing on '96 through early '99 Turbo Diesels (we seem to see more '97's and '98's). The engine block was updated in May of '99' before AMG officially took over production".
