Kelly, Did you try www.car-part.com yet? I've been looking off and on there for a while, cause I'm eventually gonna do the swap. They always seem to have 'em...
I have 2 volumes of the genuine Suzuki factory service manuals for the 2004 GV/XL7, part# 99500-52D30-33E. these were from a dealership closeout and are in...
Sure did, David, and I *really* appreciate you jogging my primate brain about it, as, while I've surfed there a few times, I couldn't remember the address. ...
I'm still betting something is f-ed up that is messing with your r&p. The housing is bent or something is putting a vibe into your driveline, etc. All a new...
I can dig it, but you'd think I'd feel/hear a noise, vibration, something besides random pinion failures. Plus, I'd think a bearing would die, first, before a...
With all the desert and rocks in Nevada I'd have to believe there's a 4x4 shop in your area somewhere (ESPECIALLY Vegas) that can have the new guy do this on...
I thought about driveline vibrations, but back when the first one keeled over, when I put the new used one in, I spun the trucklet up to 60 MPH while on...
I found not only an axle housing which supposedly has 30K miles on it, but the same place has at least two driveshafts for an XL. I can't imagine there is a...
Mmmm...Allison trans... There were XL7's with the 5 speed stick and they had a higher gear ratio, 4.something. Pretty uncommon though. GV's with sticks are ...
Actually I had both and adjusting the hood fixed both. I swore the noise was coming from under the hood. The squeak seems to be under the hood and the arttle...
I just remembered that I also got rid of the squeaking by lowering the hood latch slightly which pulled the hood tighted. Adjusting those rubber stops didn't...
I have a new question following last weekend's oil change: According to my manual the transmission takes 7.1 Quarts (I bought 8). When we took out the plug,...
As far as the plugs go I always use what came from the factory, NGK's in this case unless I'm mistaken. Since the heads are aluminum you want to change the...
... Yeah, you have to drop the whole transmission sump (pan) to access the filter. At least a drain is now somewhat common. Used to be it was removed while...
Y'know, I've found yet another solution, though it may be impractical for some. Stop driving it and start using it for an outdoor planter. Sigh. Kelly...
... No lie. The one we have not only shifts while the converter is locked, in gears 2-4, but it was designed to be in vehicles weighing up to 65K lbs. Our...
Good to hear on the local shop aspect. We've got a group of guys here that have a shop that I won't go to just because they charge too much. However they do...
... performance, hope to ... Roberto, I can't resist adding that the only scientifically-plausible way a K&N will give you better gas mileage is due to the...
... I'm with Paul. I use K&N's in one car, not the GV, and did in two motorcycles. Not for the 'performance gain', but rather for better filtering and the...
Well.....I can attest to the fact that the GV mass airflow sensors are pretty solid, even when doused with K&N Filter oil. I re-oiled my filter about 2 1/2...
G'day everyone I am a voice from the past being one of the original contributors (I notice that a lot of the original stuff has gone). I now have 160K Km up on...
Ah, but think of the extra feature you've found!!! If you install a Vornado ahead of the airbox, the swirling action will not only improve mileage 25%, but...
Um, it's a diesel, right? They all sound like this... 8-P Kidding, kidding, I know what you mean. I actually remember you from the past...welcome back. Good...
Sorry, it's early in the day and I thought this was being sent to a motorhome group. Change the 170K to 122K. And some of us are going to wear the petrol...
Wow, really?! It must not be an interference engine, and given how diesels are pretty much major routine maintenance-free, I'm surprised they'd use a belt...
I can think of very few diesel that are NOT interference- the high compression ratio means a tiny combustion chamber and no space for open valves... Belts are...
Actually I can't think of any automotive diesel that wouldn't be an interference type! With poppet valves I don't see that it's possible to avoid a clash as...
