First Post, 89 GL Wagon


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

This is my fist post. I just wanted to say hello and talk about my new purchase before I start bothering everyone with a lot of questions.

 

I just bought an 89 GL wagon, 5 speed with dual range. 173k miles. I guess no LSD or center locking diff. It's not full time 4wd either.

Wagon is in awesome shape. No rust except for a couple of stone chip marks on the hood. Came with pretty much all the service history (since new) in a folder. New clutch, battery, alternator, block heater, wheel bearings , and a few other things. It will be my daily driver and the wife will drive the 03 outback we have had since new.

 

I have a few things I want to do that mostly revolve around it being a daily driver in Alaska.

 

I will be letting the guys at the the shop (aaa-1) look at it next week and see what they find but I feel like it's in great shape.

 

I am going to do some more searching before I start asking but...get ready because it's coming. :brow:

 

thanks in advance

Gday, and welcome :)

 

You have a part time 4WD 5sp, FWD/4WD with 4LOW, just to illiminate confusion. It also won't have a center diff because its part time, not full time. But you'll like that 1.59:1 low range. Especially in ice and snow.

 

I hope we can help you out in the future with any problems you may have.

Good luck.
