350 miles away from home it starts to vibrate at drive-shaft speeds above 3000. Not Engine RPM but Shaft speed. Then it just goes away for another 125-miles,...
Worse comes to worse you should be able to pick up a 4 door Tracker or Sidekick to tow. Not as "posh" as the GV but a bit simpler and I know they go for cheap...
Thanks, AJM and David. I appreciate the input. I commute 30 miles one-way 5 days per week. I-70. Lots of traffic, speed, bad weather. Guess I'll make an...
Hey all, I have a 99 GV JLX+ with 116,000 miles on it. Been giving it regular maintenance (oil change etc) all along. Recently replaced the belts and spark...
Clutch. Change/ bleed the fluid (has it ever been replaced?), and check the pedal height and freeplay afterwards, take it from there. Might be worth checking...
Yep, classic clutch-disc-is-worn-out characteristics. The reason you can get it into first and second, but not reverse, is all forward gear, on this vehicle,...
Good to hear it. Nothing like a new windshield really. I kept touching my last one just to make sure it was there...wasn't used to how clear it was! ... ...
Funny how things go. My GV has been rock solid reliable for over 140,000 miles. Only a couple little quirks. Surprising, too, considering it's the first...
That happened to me a few months ago. It is probably leaking clutch fluid. Check the hydraulic portion of the clutch (Master Cylinder, Slave Cylinder, and...
Ya, that stupid Mini-van... Keeps on running, and running, and I hate minivans! U-joints are in-bound should be Thursday. It needs shocks/struts and I will go...
Thanks for the replies. I took it to a transmission/clutch shop yesterday and they said it was the clutch that was going. About $600 parts and labor, I'll call...
That sounds like a pretty reasonable price. ... yesterday and they said it ... around a couple other ... it local shop. ... clutch fluid. Check the ... and...
No lie. Especially as $300 of that has to be parts. Don't let them put in anything less than a new disc, pressure plate and throwout bearing. If you try to...
Yeah, that's either a really good price or they're not intending on doing everything they should. Three years ago I paid $900 to have the clutch replaced with...
Yup BTDT... RockAuto.com lists the Precision 408 and they fit in the front of the shaft but don't fit in the axle end even though Suzuki shows the same joint...
Yup! Thinking that it just may be replaced with a Ford Ranger, Ex-cab Short bed 4x4. Something that I can get parts for! Easily lift, lock, gear, and is...
Made friends with any local junkyards? Just wondering if the Hollander manuals would list a u-joint and if they did, which other vehicles might use it? A...
No, not local. From what I can find Suzuki bastardized the joint to fit the rear shaft of the GV with the 5-spd & 4WD into something that is stocked by Suzuki...
Y'know...you could take this as an opportunity to replace the entire rear axle, housing and all, with one from an XL-7. To do this with the OEM GV driveshaft,...
2000 GV 5-speed 4WD Rear Driveshaft U-joint 27200-83820 Available at Suzuki ONLY. The aftermarket lists a "Precision" 408 as an interchange. IT WILL NOT WORK! ...
I think that if I replace the axle I'd go Toyota, and do the front at the same time. And I just might at this point leave all the Toyota connecting bits...
Does anyone know the Duplicolor color code for the silver paint used on 2004 models? Or the factory code for '04 silver Chevy equivalent which may be in...
2 new u-joints in the rear and a new rear seal in the T/C. Topped up the Lube in the T/C and took it for a spin, seems to be ok... Dropped in the MAP sensor...
