Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

R.I.P moped!

(I got an urge to go for a little midnight ride, met an unhappy moose, turned around and gunned it in the oposite direction. There was a large pothole that i didnt notice while going 15mph in the dark.... I thank the gods for protective clothes but i also say HANG THEM for creating both the moose and the pothole)

 

 

Ps: this luckily wasnt my precious old corvette, it was my crappy (probably at somepoint stolen) 50cc scooter that i bougth off some shady russians for 50 USD at a flea-market.

Trying to find which transfer case our suburban has.

 

The haynes manual says:

 

NVG 261-NP2 (manual shift) -> Manual transmission fluid

NVG 246-NP8 -> Auto Trac II fluid

All others -> Dexron VI

 

We do not have the manual shift so it has to be one of the other two. But which one?

 

2007 Chevy Suburban 1500 w/5.3 vortech and 4WD (4 speed auto transmission)

 

We never changed any of the diff/transfer case/ or ATF. So im about to do it all in one go. The ATF was slightly dark but not too far gone so I dont feel so bad.

 

@vinyldash303 I know your familiar with GM stuff, help me out here? lol

Should be a metal tag on one of the bolts for the case, NP means New Process, so look for that too. I think the autotrac fluid is only used on cases with an auto mode.

ours has an auto mode. 2high, auto, 4high, 4low

 

Auto is terrible though. Idk why anyone would use it. everytime you turn and go at a stop sign it makes it hesitate.

 

We never use 4wd though xD but we didn't choose it when we got the car. was just a used suburban to haul the family around lol The 3 times we used it, we had some fun though lol

Yeah I'm not 100% sure on that though. I don't see any point in auto. Your front diff is gonna be engaged constantly. Waste of fuel.

Has everyone just forgotten how to drive this weekend? IMSA yesterday, ELMS and WEC today with several Porsche crashes, now also a major crash of a brand new Mercedes AMG GT3 at the qualifying for 24H of Nurburgring.

I hate living in London, car insurance is sky high, like almost quadruple the price of the cars I'm looking at, why can't we just insure the car and let anyone drive it like most countries, instead companies get gready and want to insure every single driver
