Holden Crewman Problems

YOURS is a well known problem with the rear axle in the Crewman and One Tonner. My understanding is there is no guaranteed fix. Usually the rear axle is switched for another one, sometimes with success, sometimes without. If you don't have the noise with the latest rear axle, it's unlikely to develop again.

WE PASSED this on to Peter Linahan of Autogas Australia for comment. He says: ``I am not aware of anyone who has successfully certified a kit for the new 3.6-litre V6 engine. In fact, GM Holden is yet to release an option for LPG on this engine, either through its dealer network or through Holden by Design. I am told that the kit for the LPG VY Commodore is close, but that is unlikely to suit the Crewman. ``I have also heard comments that the engine is delicate from a gas point of view and anyone contemplating a conversion would be advised to make sure any kit has been properly tested and checked. ``Being a 2004 vehicle it will require a kit that has been emission certified. ``As fuel prices move ever upward it may change Holden's marketing stance and it may choose to pursue an LPG option for that model. ``Alternatively, you could contact Impco and see if it would be interested in using your vehicle as a guinea pig if it felt there was a market for such a kit. ``I suggest contacting Paul Nolen on 9584 5644.''
