I love this forum already. Much more help and positivity I'm seeing all around. I suppose the simple filter of knowing how to use a forum eliminates the negativity and ignorance you find in Facebook groups 🙂
Unfortunately, my local pick&pulls are garbage in variety and stock. Haven't found a single 3G4R in the past 6 visits. I just took it as a good sign that these last so long.
Well I was going to research that later but since you mentioned it, what's the benefit of the segregated radiator and trans cooler if the OEM design lasts so long?
Funny you say that, I'm typing this from underneath the car doing exactly that! A slow leak in the transfer case is one of those things I need to get to.
I bought a 1997 Limited 4WD Auto last year with 163k on the dash (lies: Carfax said 254k so I got it for cheaper) as a daily driver to take a load off the 20k/year I was putting on my old BMW. I was taking the BMW to the Poconos, Catskills, Adirondacks, etc. I love the outdoors and the poor car...
