Hey JRL,

Thanks for the help on the squeaky steering bearing.
That's the exact noise I'm hearing. The dirt's
getting into the grease and crumbling and cracking as
I'm sterring. I can't wait to...

I have this squeaky steering wheel that's starting
to annoy me. I tried a little WD-40 where the wheel meets the steering

Thanks for all your help.

I installed the ECU upgrade, and soon to install the dual exhaust.
At about 240+/- hp, when I'm done with all the...

Thanks for the detailed walk-thru. Seems like it will be fairly painless.
I'm hoping my wiper motor is still good, but I'm going to have to take
it apart to see why the blade gets stuck at the top...

Sorry to hear about your story, regarding the vandal, and how

unfortunately, I was the one doing all the vandalizm. After...

Thanks for the responses. It was indeed the low PS fluid, that
was the cause of all the whining. Maybe a little less than a half a quart of fluid, and the noise is gone. [thumbup]

The closest I was to that, was skiing...

Obviously, if you're always leaning on the gas, your MPG will decrease, but honestly, there's not a noticeable difference in MPG. The only negative is that they recommend the higher 93 octane. I...

I ECU upgrade has got me excited about the XC again. It feels like a
new car, and with the newly found power, highway driving is really a blast. The best part about the ECU is I can do all the...

We bought a black, 2000 XCSE last year, and the owner hadn't changed the oil for approx. 30,000 miles. A month later the engine basically shut down, due to the fact the oil had crystalized in every...
