    WANTED Wanted - 9-7x front passenger fender

    Thanks to all that responded. I did end up finding a part and had even paid for it and then a day later I get hit with an additional $75. Their excuse was that they do not control shipping costs... this was after I confirmed with the rep that they had verified. The dismantler did not even want...

    Failed Ca. Smog due to CARB numbers not matching Saab 9-7x 4.2i

    Yeah, it does not seem to bog down like it used to before. Felt like a heat sinked engine. Runs so much better with the stock parts with a hi-flow filter.

    Failed Ca. Smog due to CARB numbers not matching Saab 9-7x 4.2i

    Thanks. Volant replied and I was a bit disappointed at the fact they did not stand behind what they provided 10 yrs ago... Either way, not sure if it was me but I noticed that it ran better with the OEM airbox compared to the Volant CAI. Looks like I am keeping the OEM box on it going forward.

    Failed Ca. Smog due to CARB numbers not matching Saab 9-7x 4.2i

    Has anyone ever had their Saab 9-7x fail smog cause the cold air intake is not listed for a Saab. I have had my Volant cold air intake for the last 10 yrs and just today, the tech I went to which is different one from previous years called me over and told me that the CARB numbers are not...

    Mystery transmission leak - 2006 Saab 9-7x 4.2i

    Is the connector a replaceable part? Checked front of tranny and popped the plugs and no leaks. Looks to be coming from above the pan. Dropping in some UV dye to trace it.

    Mystery transmission leak - 2006 Saab 9-7x 4.2i

    Hello All, After researching on this site and trailvoy, I still cannot determine what the heck is causing my transmission to leak when it sits 1-2 wks without driving it. I have checked the sensor at the top of the pan, replaced the gasket with an OEM, and have inspected cooler lines and even...

    Trailblazer rear hatch fit 9-7x?

    Hello All, Had a person break my rear glass on my '06 9-7X and the rock hit the corner of my hatch and it dented it causing latching issues for the rear glass. I tried searching but did not find anything but does the regular Trailblazer hatch fit my 9-7x? The person at my local dismantler said...

    NEED HELP Play in steering wheel (new tie rods, ball joints, struts, arms)

    Hello, I had the same issue recently on my '06 9-7x. I would also hear a clunk when I would hit uneven roads. I redid the whole front end, arms, bushings, tie rods, etc... and I still had the problem. I would recheck it each time I would hear a noise then I started paying attention to my...

    Oil Pressure Switch

    Sure is a knuckle saver. Has gotten me out of a few snags. I have not tried with impact even though it states it is impact rated.

    Oil Pressure Switch

    Just throwing it out there.... I have the tite reach set that I got as a gift and when I needed to switch mine out on my 4.2 it was a breeze. I was struggling trying to get the switch out in the tight space so I kept trying different ratchets to see which one would work without backing out...
