Kelly; I just got my '02 GV back from the dealer and got some information that might shed some light on your rear axle problem. As you no doubt remember, I've...
No, it’s not. The crush sleeve is between the pinion gear and the bearing set that determines the depth of tooth contact with the ring gear. The gear set...

Used to be these would reset themselves after like, 50 starts, or the like, or you could jump a connection to do it. What does the '99 GV need? At least it's...
Hey, you guys. I got my'02 GV back from the shop yesterday with the news of the spider gears in the diff going away. I also got the hood squeak fixed! Seems...
Well. This is good news. Mine squeak has returned, even though the hood stops are cranked up pretty far. It's back to chirping when closing the doors....
well, we'll see if the squeak stays gone. It is now, but I'd expect that after opening the hood and closing it, at least for a few miles. Nobody wins the...
If you read my earlier email, you’ll find that I had a “clunk” on the 1-2 shift and on hard right hand turns. It was almost as though a universal joint...
Well, nearing the end of day one, it's still quiet, though we'll see for certain on the way home. The roads around here will bring it out faster than anywhere...
... Silicone can dry out rubber seals. Better getting some Gummi Pfledge from a BMW or Merc dealer, or the aftermarket stuff from Wurth and so on... David...
If nothing is truly wrong (i.e., the SES light is unnecessary) then just disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes. It resets the ECM and places everything...
The battery disconnect worked fine. It ran a little funny, initially, but then I'm at 6K+ feet of elevation, about 2100 metres, so the air is thin. It needed...
Never mind. Surfing Optima's site shows me they don't make one to fit the '99-'00 GV, though I'm pretty certain there is one which fits. I know I have a...
Yeah, after rethinking it, there's no reason to go with something else. The 12 monther I have, the Zuk was for sale when I bought it, has lasted 7 years, and...
I used to own a Suburban and went to the Optima battery my third year of ownership, as s regular battery died every May. The Optima solved that problem. When...
Kelly. I have currently got an Optima Yellow Top D34. You are correct it is a bit of over kill, but it will power up my Engel 40Ltr car fridge all day on 42 +...
If you change your mind, the group 34/78 Optimas do fit the '99 GV, although you need to loosen up the wiring harness a bit to make the wires reach the correct...
My '96 Ranger's battery lasted for eight years before going south on me. However I was on a trail in a state forest, parked nose up on a 45 degree incline,...
title says it all. finally got off my lazy butt and cleaned out the garage. i found some old parts that i had leftover from my 01 GV and wanted to see if...
Has anyone put a larger-than-stock battery in the GV? I don't mean a huge one, merely one which occupies the same space as the OEM. My year 2001 replacement...
... Stock battery in the diesel variants is at least a 72Ah and probably closer to 100Ah these days, depending on rating scheme. It's 306x173x225mm and has the...
Per my previous post about the 34/78 Optima fitting in a GV with only a little harness tugging, it is not a problem to do so. A 34/78 seems to list between...
Yeah...I have the 34/78 Optima Redtop in my GV. It's rated at 800 CCA. Working great for over 2 years now. My OEM battery lasted about 5 1/2 years. Dave T. ...
