I had that little ticky..ticky sound at start up after the 25K mark (2002 XL-7). When I had it in for a routine state safety inspection I asked the technician...
Hey guys (and gals), I used to be on this board with my 01 XL7 but when the XL7 board was started I moved over there. I traded in my XL7 today for a new 04...
I know this question has been asked and answered before (thanks Tim), but I can't seem to search the archives past Dec 1 2003. Is there anything special,...
I just got off the phone with Calmini, and apparently the LSD will work in the 4 cyl. Vitara, but not in the GV. I asked if the gear ratio was different and...
hey chilli, take what calmini and rocky-road say with a grain of salt...maybe spend some more time researching the drivelines in question. it has been my...
Like Brian said, we have our own, in-house, damned near bona-fide expert in Tim. Honestly, I've never 'met' him, and he's one of those east coast people, so,...
This is not normal noise. I might as well have a box of marbles fastened to the block. Besides, it is a known design flaw that has gone through a series of ...
No sheit, eh guys? Sucks when you yourself are the best mechanic you know, by a significant margin, and you're a telecom sales engineer... now, you wanna...
My 01 XL7 was ticking quite a bit. With that in mind and with my warranty gone (all we got in 01 was 3yr/36k miles) I traded it in for an 04 Vitara. I hope I...

Has anyone had problems with warped rotors on their GV? I talked my dealer into letting me have the rims and tires off of my XL7 (225/70/16's) so I can put...

I have felt a little bit of pulsing, or uneven grabbing power, on my brakes. Nothing that freaks me out, but it does feel like the the front rotors are...
... tires ... I thought about that so I rotated the tires front to back but it's still happening. It rides smooth on the road and only shudders while braking....

Yes, it sounds likely that your rotors are warped - they might not be so bad that they can't turn them. Also possible that the sliders on your caliper, and...
This is what happened to me......I found where my gas smell was comming from, it was the hose that run down the front of the engine that run from the steel ...
my rotors went bad on me once as well. i was told by the guys at the dealer that it was because the last time i had my tires rotated/balanced that the lugs...

I thought the gas evap. cannister was an issue too. Upon closer inspection the leak in the fuel line can be so bad it sprays all over the engine compartment....

Re. the 4x4 pump, the spec for air pressure control is in the FSM, along with the delay times for the controller. But... The diff should lock/engage at...
If this only started after you switched wheels, and you're pretty sure the nuts weren't overtightned, then my guess is that sometime between taking the old off...

Here's a question for the tech gurus: If the front diff. is engaged by air pressure and **NOT mechanical pressure,** why is there a gear shift lever to...
The transfer case has gears too, a low and hi range. These spin the front drive shaft and the innards of the front differential. The air pump has to do with...
