Sounds like you're going to do a tire change. Another option other than changing the t-case is mounting a strobe. My dad has a sprinter van that he drives at 55mph for fuel economy reasons on the interstate. He got a cheap 12v amber strobe light that sticks to the back door with a magnet and plugs i...

No worries! That was actually very helpful. Since you drive a suby, let me ask you something subjective: Do you get that planted to the road feeling in the pinz as you do with the 'roo? This is of course with all the lockers off (i.e. unlocked 2 rear axles being driven) I've never ridden in a pinz, ...

There are several suby awd systems out there. It sounds like you have the same one I do: the 4eat phase II automatic (cvttc) with the front wheel drive bias that normally splits torque 90/10 front to rear under normal conditions and maxes out at 50/50 under poor traction conditions. I couldn't track...

If driven infrequently, following the factory schedule probably wouldn't be too bad. To me it's not as much a question of doing it as I change gear oil in my cars presently, but whether the intervals are based upon engineering principles or swiss military policies as genevapinz alluded to. I guess o...

I followed genevapinz's link and found a maintenance schedule for the pinz. (thanks geneva pinz) I was pretty much floored...valve adjustments, cylinder head retorquing, gear oil changes every 6k. Engine oil every 3k (ok I expected that). And if you offroad, these intervals are supposed to be cut in...

texas pinz--thanks for your replies and honesty. I would think the swiss/austrian military who decomissioned the vehicles would have service schedules. Steyr should know! I don't know what disturbs me more that apparently no one on the forum knows or they just refuse to share and/or direct us to the...

Ok thanks for the responses! I guess I'm looking to use this as a 90% road vehicle with occasional offroad excursions. Sort of a toy and occasional family/people/stuff hauler. I'm guessing that with enough dynamatting, I can make the noise level tolerable, and fit better seats w/belts to make it saf...

maintenance schedule
Hello all!
Still trying to get a better feel as to what ownership would be like. Being an older vehicle I would expect maintenance would be more involved than on a newer vehicle.
Could anyone give me an idea as to what the maintenance schedule is on these vehicles?
Thanks
