    6 Vs 8, Fuel Mileage

    Just got 18 MPG in my 2002 V6 4.0 but I wish I had the V8. V6 has power, but you can tell it is lacking.

    Add sub to 2002 XLT with 3rd row

    2002 XLT - Is the transmission guaranteed to fail?

    The "magic tool" to fix the Tranny is . . . Some kind of boring tool tha alows him to insert a steel sleeve for the pin to ride in instead of the Aluminum case. Problem is, he has to dissassble the tranny to do the job . . . this is no 'easy' fix.

    2002 XLT - Is the transmission guaranteed to fail?

    2002 XLT Tranny - GTD to Fail? My Tranny guy is telling my tranny is guaranteed to fail at 90 to 120k miles. He knows the reason why and has a special tool to fix this "fast mover" in the world of transmission failures and repair. Anyone have experience or similar comments from their shop??

    Suggestions wanted for 100K preventative maintenance

    Don't think twice about the serpintine belt and pulley. I have about the same mileage but I do the tranny fluid every 12k b/c these trucks are known to blow them due to a steel pin in an aluminum shaft or some other careless engineering. Anyway, I would do the tranny fluid. Skip the T...

    2002 bearings

    Hi FYI, I just had 3 of my bearings replaced and it cost about $800 each due to the fact that the bearing is part of a larger assembly and the mechanic needs to remove the suspension to replace. so far all is well but a big expense. The mechanic says it is common.
