Hi all, I have a problem with my 2000 GV. The real differential is leaking. It lost about half a quart oil before I noticed the noise. Now I am trying to...
David's got it. The pumpkin must come out to seal the housing. I've used black RTV in the past...got pretty good with it, unfortunately. You'll likely want to...
Paul: Thank your for the great information. The dealer fessed up admitting they dropped the ball and completed the job without charge. I used my boat oil...
QUESTION: Is this a design flaw in the 2000 GV, like the front differential?? (I had the front replaced twice in two years.. ) ... leaking. ... certainly ...
Is what a flaw? A leak between the pumpkin and the main housing? That's one flaw I didn't have, and I had 'em all on the rear axle..... ... Kelly ... need ......
I would take my 2000 GV in for an oil change and they would tell me I had a major oil leak. But, it was actually the differential fluid!! I have been told...
More unluck with my GV now. The rear differential makes whir noise after I refill it up. Seems shot now. I found it is extremly difficult to find a used...
I knows me 'bout some differentials. Because you have a V6, you can't use the old Tracker diffs. Those trucklets were 4 cylinders, had a different ratio, and...
Hi Kelly, I'll toss this one out to you, but if anybody else has an idea, I'm all ears (monitor?). I have researched the archives, and some other folks have...
If the T-case is properly full, nothing will run dry. This is CYA on Suzuki's part. I've towed mine for 3K miles, 16 hours at a time, never so much as looked...
Thanks man, That is fantasic, I will definitely looking for that part. In terms of www.car-part.com, I think most of those used parts website share the same...
Kelly, It's towed behind a 2004 Southwind 32VS. But I only smell the hot rubber smell wafting up from the underside of the XL when stopped after driving it...
Just for giggles...checked your wheel wells? Wondering if somehow the tires are rubbing the plastic inner linings or something? When we first put big tires on...
A question from the ignorant: Does the GV/XL-7 have breather openings on any of the cases in the drive train? I ask because I once melted the breather hose on...
nope, and if there were, I'd smell that during normal driving. This smell only comes up as the XL warms up after being towed. give it a few trips, abd the...
Totally off the wall thought. Do you have the cabin Air filter? Is it possible that the emissions from the tow vehicle are somehow getting concentrated in that...
Are your tires all the same size/brand and inflated to the same pressure? Try the hub replacement thing - manual hubs for original lockers - to eliminate front...
...as there isn't a whole lot to do in southern AZ, NM, and TX west of San Antone. Ugh. I do miss being on-the-road, however, which is difficult to explain to ...
Today I try to dismount the differential. First the axles, I am trying Kelly's trick. After I put the wheel and tire back on, I started to yank it with my...
Hopefully you have the truck supported by jack stands...right? To do this trick the truck should be supported by jackstands under the frame with the axle...
Yeah, the first time can be a pain. Glad you remembered to unbolt the four bolts holding the outer axle flange to the axle housing. When I did mine the first...
Thanks AJM and Kelly, the car jack on the nose of the differential trick real works. Now I have the pumpkin off the truck. I know, I know, I should have this...
Hmmm. Now that you have the axles out, how do the bearings look? Diff noise is difficult, no pun intended, to ignore, and it's a wickedly nasty noise in many...
If it is definitely coming from the rear, and it is NOT the differential, then it has to be one of the other things that rotates or affects rotation -...
