So, we have this Y2K GV and I'm reaching the tipping point in the love/hate relationship I have with it. There is one thing that I simply unacceptable. It...
There is enough advertising on this forum with it being 'sponsored' by Yahoo! Please, no links for 'free stuff', or the like. If you have stuff which is your...
traceyedwardson appears to be another spambot. Oddly worded message unspecific to the site, offers of free stuff or monetary compensation, really bad "no...
Yeah, after re-reading it I determined the same thing. Not only are they gone, but I've instituted another level of bot- proofing. Kelly ... or ... it good....
I drive 'up the country' and my interior is dusty as well. Do you clean your cabin filter? Even though I clean mine, and the surrounding area, I still have...
Yeah, that's a big drag. You shoulda seen the inside of mine after 400 miles of Alaska gravel roads...being towed four feet behind a diesel motorhome. Sigh. I...
I am a newbie here and also with my GV 2.5 '03. I would like to ask you all what is the correct code to Fram oil filter used in the Grand Vitara 2.5 V6?...
I suggest you check the area where the rear axle vent tube passes into the body in the rear quarter panel. If the hose is dislodged that could be your...
Hi, For those who have changed their front wheel bearing ... Currently my car is producing some sort of wheel bearing noise at the front.Anyway , to cut the...
Here's a pic of a home-made tool that does the job. Bob ... The following section of this message contains a file attachment prepared for transmission using...
Hi Bob, Thanks a lot ! Can you post the picture in the files/photos section ? I would appreciate it. ( I did not get to see it ) Thank you sir ! ... is...
Hi Bob, I got the picture from your Folder's photo section. I initially thought of doing the wheel bearing at auto shop but after researching how it is done,...
I have extra spindle nuts that can be used to make the tool in the pic. If you can afford the proper tool go to the Kent-Moore website and check their price....
Bob, rather than going to all the hassle of fitting a new bearing to the hub, did you not price a hub "cassette"- pre-loaded with the bearings- from the dealer...
Bob, thanks for this precious advice ! If I'll have problem then I'll go to a machine shop that can do the removal and installation of new bearings (they'll...
Jeez. Find some other shops. Year-before-last, in the town north of Pigeon Forge, TN, I had a bearing done, start to finish, for $200. Asked 'em about it one...
Hi Kelly, Yup, that's what they quoted me and definitely I am not going there . It sounds like a major rip-off. There's another shop that quoted me lesser at...
... Auto-shop labor here runs around $80 ... Ah, HA! *That's* how they're making up for double-digit unemployment. Clever. <repeated eye rolling> Good idea on...
Well, I've revisited this issue at a 4x4 shop. They said that my engine and transaxle mounts are shot and that the drive train is flexing a lot. This could...
Digging this back up. Finally had a chance to at least look at it while changing the oil. The AC fan is the electric one behind the grill, correct? Should it...
Yes the one directly behind the grill and in front of the condenser. First check to see if it spins freely when nothing is on (car not running) by probing...
Well, the fuse was blown. Fan turned easily so I checked the fuse and yep, it was blown. Put in my last 25 amp fuse of that size (thing's probably 20+ years...
What happens with those fans is the steel motor housing rusts; rusts swells to the point where the field magnets drag on the armature causing a higher current...
Used it some today and seems to be fine. Blows nice and cold. Well, the R134 version of nice and cold and not the old R12 "dead mob guys in a Detroit butcher...
When I changed my condenser to the old tube-and-fin style, after rocks and the electric fan turned the OEM one into a solid slab of metal, mine was much, much...
R134 = Environmentalist BS foisted on us by econonazis and beaurocrats. Definitely had nothing to do with making AC cooler or more efficient! ... rocks ... ...
