I think I have this condition on my Prowler, it is listed in the "Garage" section but does not give any way of making a fix. Do I need to bring it in for service?
bjprowler You'll need to describe the sound a little more in order to pin-point the problem and get you a cost estimate....

NRVOUS I'm saving that,LOL.

How about this then.
$100.00 Hourly Labor Rate.
$150.00 If you watch.
$200.00 If you help.
$300.00 If you worked on it first.
Me Time I would not have posted it as written unless I found the exact description in the "Garage" section. I can't describe it much better then as it's written. Maybe I call the seller and ask, being he's a mech. Thanks fo rthe good natured ribbing.
catfish im not talking about the hourly rate,the post.could be many things causing the noise,maybe its the belts,maybe the belts are a little loose,they have very high ft.lbs of tension,very high,maybe there worn,who knows.since you dont want to be specific, your on your own.
------------------
beachcat Dave, don't worry, you are not on your own but you might be better off now. I would take that TSB number to a dealer and ask to see the content of it. Or maybe a member here has access to that TSB.
Simonsez My '97 has had the "growling" sound from day one. I was told something about a clutch and it was a natural sound. I fixed mine by turning up the stereo. It has worked perfect every since.
Me Time sorry double post

I have come to learn that not everyone is on my level of thinking or thought pattern, so I try to look at things for the others point of view and understand, what can I do to help you become more understanding? I really would like to help you get over your caustic ways.

ed monahan I saw that exact sign in a m/c shop on Friday. I took the Goldwing in for a rear tire and they had it on the window of the door leading to the shop.

Dave, you now own the car, and drove it a significant distance to get home ... Therefore, First, I would not bother the sellar on this, or anything, anymore. Second, I would not go looking for problems to crop up ... just try to enjoy the car. and Third, find a local mechanic that you can trust to handle the issues as they do arise. My two cents.
