Local Stealership wants $600 to do the 90k mile service. Said would take 4hrs...so if you figure $40/hr LR that leaves you with what $440 worth of consumables.....what am I missing besides the usual clue? :slap:
It is truly sad but ...I will have one of my own someday...just maybe not a 97.
Junk thanks for the gracious offer but Ive already tried that :beer:

Northern Virginia. PO purchased the truck in NJ but fortunately they didn feel the need to add any blingbling features...just a...

I saw a 100 wheeling the other day....It was inadverdently going over one of those parking space dividers at the mall...the blond btw had one hand on the wheel and the other was holding a cell phone to her ear..... ::) :rolleyes:
Ive been considering high load rated Yoko Geolanders for the wifey's mall cruiser...when the time comes to retire whats left of the stock Michys. Just had three of 4 michs. w/ 40k miles on them go out of round on my 96 Subaru legacy commuter car......
How about....
1.) Empty "tuna can" every 2k miles in dusty conditions, 5k otherwise.
2.) Ream / route skylight drain channels twice annually or more so if frequently parked under debris dropping trees......
C-dan...you are absolutely correct our 97 was intended for the Aussie market. I ran the weedeater line down the sunroof weep holes again and followed with a douch ... when I poured the water in it swirled clockwise..... :o :o. It also has all these extra pouches....and the ole lady seems to...
Snow, I dont have any grey ones but if you cant work a trade I may buy them from you for the wife's mall cruiser...she says she doesnt need them but I say she doesthe units she hauls leave more crumbs than they catch.......shoot me an email if you dont trade them.
Dude ours is blowing warm all the time that the ac is not cranking.....man its gonna be great in the winter time......I thought it was just the f-ed up Auto Climate control's version of global warming......
Dont feel bad dude our 40th with 81K on the odo leaks ~1.5 quarts every 3000 miles...or at least it did the first 3000 we put on it :'( :'(
Scott are you saying that "Princess" with a year old rear main seal still leaks 2qts every 5k miles????
Crawl under it and check for Oil leaks.....Our rear main seal leaks ~ 1.5 qts/3000 miles with 81K on the odo. :'( and the auto climate control is great if you like hot air coming out of your dash whenever you dont have the ac on ...gonna be great in the winter...and go ahead and count on...
Update...no leaks since removing the sunroof visor...anybody tried to mod some weep holes in the seal of the visor at the corners? where is Cdan he might know where that gasket is supposed to go...................
Hugh...yeah I pulled those to get the carpet up...and I had read your thread so that was the first place I looked. Surprisingly everything looks rust free over there. I even inspected the inards of whatever that spare harness is....seems fine.
Thinking about using Kroil to check up the rust or...
