Eagle Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 This is a GREAT forum. I've been lurking for a bit, and now joined. 96 SE 4x4, stock Quirky problems I've had fixed (or need to) over the years: control arms (fixed in 9th year) noisy tires (newest set this month - Cont cross Lx, replacing the BS Revos) cruise control button spring broken grinding rear diff (apparently fixed by dealer by using additive) radio volume attenna stuck up tail pipe broken above rear diff - steamed anything near it inside and above the spot. Welded closed for 20 bucks 4H to 2H only engages on gas pedal press Fan noisy on med WAY powerful in turns on the back wheels, burnout on dry pavement, wet is downright dangerous Rusted out step bar in 8th year. Pulled off and pitched. I am stock, so no need Rusted rear bumper side (left only) Small rust spots on front bumper, and very small spots on hood. Otherwise, no rust elsewhere. Funky smell when starting AC for first time. Lysol in intake should fix. Towed a boat several hundred miles and cracked out exhaust manifold (probably) Other than these items, it has been an awesome 4x4 and it is great in its 150 mile and 12th year.

Eagle Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Welcome to the family Do you have LSD? Wonder if the wrong fluid got put in the diff @ some stage Yes. Beats me. I thought it was good to list that stuff. Really it is all minor stuff except the control arms. That crap was crazy. The mechanics giving me the run around was worse. I ended up buying new struts before figuring it out myself. People complain about the HP on that, but the torque is incredible. I can't believe the new Path HP numbers, but mine is still running strong. (knock on wood) I don't even know what to buy to replace this one when the cost of repair becomes too great. Maybe an 01..? (Thanks for moving the thread, still learning the rules) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
