Replying to: phyl2 (Apr 03, 2007 8:40 pm) Oil it will burn 1 quart per 1000 miles. Timing belt is either at 90k or 105k, about a $500 job give or take. -mike

Replying to: phyl2 (Apr 03, 2007 6:52 pm) Remember that you are reading from a small sample of all the Trooper owners out there. And folks with problems tend to write about them. Folks who are generally satisfied rarely go to a forum to write about that. I would check the oil once a week. When it gets low, add some. I think the range from the lower dot on the dipstick to the upper dot is one quart. If you go 500 miles without getting down halfway, your engine is pretty normal. If it's a TOD equipped 4WD, shift it into 4WD every week or so for a few miles. You might want to bring the vehicle to a trusted mechanic and make sure that the transmission is full of fluid. A change of fluid couldn't hurt - just be sure that they use the appropriate fluid and fill the tranny all the way - there's no dipstick for you to read. Otherwise, the problems you are reading about here are just about exactly the same problems you would read about anywhere about any vehicle. The Trooper is a pretty well build vehicle. |

Replying to: atfdmike (Apr 04, 2007 2:26 am) This thing has been parked for a while, and lots of things cropped up while it was parked. Bad idea to park it, I think. MAFs are pricey, aren't they. He did clear the code. He said they were "stored" codes, and there were no current readings. It is not back on yet. I'm thinking about cleaning the MAF with MAF cleaner (there are sprays made just for this), making sure the plug contacts are good, then just seeing what happens. One of my other vehicle is a TDI, and there are long threads on club discussion boards about how often the problem with a MAF is really a problem with the electrical contacts...

Replying to: paisan (Apr 04, 2007 3:30 am) I usually have to add some oil after 1500 miles...usually have it changed around 3500 - 4000. If you check it regularly and don't let it get low, chances are it won't blow up. (I think the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation valve) can be the cause of quick increases in oil use and blown engines. There are instructions to replace or clean these to keep that from happening. What some folks have had happen is that the EGR gets clogged and leads to a quick and unexpected increase in oil consumption and when it unexpectedly gets too low the results are bad... probably could check every couple of weeks just to be sure. |

Anybody else experience a vibrating 'buzz' sound coming from the shift lever that goes to the transfer case? It only seems to happen in colder weather. Curious situation. It sounds like something is vibrating against the undercarriage of the vehicle.

| I have an '02 with 50,000 miles on it and a nail too close to the edge of one of the original Bridgstone Dueler tires to repair. I need to replace and like to do in pairs but am pretty light on cash. any recommendation for street only driving tires to replace? | |
Any other 2002 trooper owners have a hard time finding replacement PCV valves. The dealer swears that it should be a plastic elbow but it isn't. It is a metal threaded straight one. Any others out there, and where do i get a replacement? VERY frustrating.
