Hi,
I am new in this forum, so few words about me and my car. I live in Helsinki. My earlier car was chevy Blazer 1997. Liked it a lot, but a bulldozer chrashed it! Then I had two cars to choose from: Mercedes ML or Chevy TB. My choise was TB! Love the look of that car. So, I bougt my Tb 2003 LTZ in January this year. I went to Stockholm, Sweden, and bought it there. Much more and cheaper cars there!
Ok. Car looks fine, and has only gone 128000 km. Actually car was very cheap, because rear differential was very loud... And It uses much gas, as we all know! People here wants cars, that uses 3-5l/100km. ( gas in Finland costs 1,3€/l, that is around 5$/gal).
Situation now: I took rear differential apart, and It was rear pinion bearing, that made the noise. I think the oil have never been chanced! Also I chanced transfercase, and front differential oils. Front differential oil were low, and axle seal leaks... In transfercase there were too much oil! Also I have changed rear and front brakes (discs and calibers). And brakefluid ofcourse (it was black)... So car have not been maintenaced at all in few years. I have planned to clear rust off from chassis and then paint it with Por15.
I ordered that Tech2 tool from China, but It hasn't arrived yet. Car is much beter to drive, much more powerful, and more silent than my earlier Blazer. Only thing that really pisses me off is that Bose radio! Sound is very dissorted! I changed the amp, and next I change the speakers. If that don't cure the problem, then Bose goes!!!
Thanks again for the great Forum. Keep up the good work!
