Tire pressure and other technical characteristics of GAZelle-3302

The Gorky Automobile is more likely to be classified as a small class truck; it can just as easily be classified as a passenger car. To drive a Gazelle, a category B license is sufficient, but the vehicle sometimes carries cargo that no passenger car can carry. With the advent of the GAZ 3302, a new type of transport arose in Russia, which should most accurately be called commercial.

This is what the classic GAZ 3302 truck looks like

Commercial vehicles combine two remarkable qualities - the comfort of a passenger car and the carrying capacity of a small truck. It’s hard to imagine that there was once no such class of car in our country. The convenience of "Gazelles" is appreciated by many, and with their help in our time a considerable share of the transportation of goods and people is carried out.

The advantages of the car and its disadvantages. Owner reviews

The high popularity of the GAZ 3302 lies in its many advantages. These include:

• Simplicity of design and high degree of maintainability. The design of the vehicle makes it easy to access components and assemblies and allows minor repairs to be carried out by the driver. There is no need to have a large set of different keys and accessories.
• Availability of spare parts and assemblies. These elements are not in short supply. Any component can be purchased at a car store or service station.
• Reliability of the vehicle, components, assemblies. Can work in any climatic conditions, with different loads.
• Good maneuverability. Able to turn around on a small area, in a limited space. Quickly picks up speed.
• Ease of Management. The location of the steering wheel, gear lever and pedals creates ergonomic conditions for the driver to work.
• Small sizes. The dimensions of the car allow you to move along narrow streets and through arched spans.
• Long period of operation. The resource reserve makes it possible to operate the car for more than 10 years without major repairs.
• The presence of a low body. Allows loading and unloading operations to be carried out without the use of lifting equipment.
• Significant load capacity, which makes it possible to transport large loads.
• Relatively low cost of the car.

The car also has weaknesses. These include:

• Low body sides.
• Lack of power steering on early models.
• Late model power steering often leaks.
• The ventilation system in the cabin is poorly efficient.

Many reviews say that the GAZelle 3320 is indispensable on the farm . A small flatbed vehicle is a workhorse that performs many tasks at low maintenance costs. Owners consider increased fuel consumption to be a disadvantage of the car, as a result of which some of them install gas equipment.

2) Control fuel consumption serves to assess the technical condition of the vehicle and is checked under conditions regulated by relevant standards, and is not an indicator of operational fuel consumption standards.

Cabin

The basic model of the car has a three-seater cabin. Some latest models are available with a cabin that seats six people, including the driver. In this cabin, the seats are arranged in two rows, and the cabin is equipped with a roof with a high ceiling. The basic three-seat cab has two doors with rearview mirrors. The cabin for six passengers also has two doors. Rear row passengers board through the right door, after reclining the passenger seat in the first row.

The one-piece windshield with wiper and large side windows provide a clear view of the area for the driver and passengers. Some models were produced with a sleeping place for the driver.

The cabin is equipped with heating, air conditioning, ventilation and noise protection systems. The windshield is blown from the inside.

The machine is controlled using the steering wheel and gear shift lever. The systems are monitored using the dashboard, which is installed in front of the driver. It contains a speedometer, tachometer, coolant temperature and fuel reserve sensors.

The layout of the cabin and the location of the controls create a pleasant working environment for the driver.

4.3. Engine

Operation and repair manual

The demand for the machine is due to the maintainability and reliability of the design solution. The published repair manual describes the steps and technologies for replacing or restoring equipment.

Common gazelle breakdowns:

• engine overheating (requires replacement of cylinder head gaskets);
• failure of the clutch discs and release bearing (replacement of elements required);
• weak tension of the GRN chains (adjustment is necessary once every 3 months);
• loosening of suspensions (adjustment required);
• gearbox malfunction (can be eliminated by cleaning the clutch elements or replacing equipment), etc.

To prevent damage to the vehicle's chassis, the following operating rules must be followed:

• Overloads are not allowed, it is recommended to comply with the weight indicated in the data sheet;
• It is required to secure cargo properly during transportation.

The braking system must be checked regularly; if dusty, the rubber gaskets are washed and ground. When repairing wheels, it is necessary to take into account the tire pressure, checking the data with the table for modifications. It is acceptable to replace the equipment with a more powerful one (ZMZ-405 engine with 4 cylinders, etc.).

Dimensions of Gazelle with extended base

From the moment of its appearance, the Nizhny Novgorod lorry became a bestseller, but GAZ engineers did not rest on their laurels and prepared a car with an extended wheelbase for a huge army of entrepreneurs. This vehicle was ideal for those carriers who carried light, but voluminous cargo that did not physically fit in the cargo compartment of a standard vehicle. This modification was named GAZ-320202.

GAZ-320202

For the extended modification, Nizhny Novgorod residents prepared two versions of the platform, 4.2 and 5.1 meters long. Other dimensions of the cargo compartment of long-wheelbase modifications are exactly the same as those of a standard car. Naturally, the useful volume of the cargo compartment has changed:

• For trucks with a platform length of 4.2 meters - 15 m³;
• For trucks with a platform length of 5.1 meters - 18.2 m³.

At the same time, the carrying capacity of the vehicles remained the same - 1.5 tons. That is, now drivers of long wheelbase trucks had to strictly monitor the weight of the loaded goods in order to avoid overloading. This was not always possible, but often greed won and 5 and even 10 tons were loaded into the truck, after which we often encountered vehicles with a frame broken in half or burst springs.

4.5. Chassis

Peculiarities

The carrying capacity of the Gazelle is not its only advantage. The modification in question is also distinguished by economical fuel consumption and a high level of maintainability. The standard version allows transporting materials whose length does not exceed three meters. Soon, trucks appeared with a base lengthened by one meter.

In addition, analogues with gas cylinder equipment, as well as versions with all-wheel drive, are available on the market. Vehicles with all driving wheels have even more room for maneuver and have increased cross-country ability, regardless of road surface and weather conditions. When developing the machines in question, manufacturers took into account the nuances of domestic roads, as well as the wishes of users.

4.7. Brake control

Interior tuning

Basically, the Gazelle is needed not for beauty, but for business. Therefore, car owners strive to improve their cars to their advantage. A useful addition is the installation of a security alarm. For a workhorse, an anti-theft system with auto start would be a good idea. Drivers of commercial vehicles need their car to start in the morning without problems in any frost. Autostart will come in handy here.

For the convenience of driving in the cabin, drivers change the steering wheel - with a sports steering wheel, it becomes more convenient for some to control the car. But the convenience is debatable - most likely, many people like the appearance of such a steering wheel.

Original tuning of the Gazelle interior
Many people install beautiful covers on the seats - they look aesthetically pleasing, and the seat upholstery does not get dirty or deteriorate. The seats themselves on the Gazelle are not changed often; they are already quite comfortable. If someone changes, they install only one driver’s “seat” - from some cool foreign car, or a sports-type seat (for example, “Recaro”).

4.8. Electrical equipment

Common features

Next, let's look at what these modifications have in common. Onboard Gazelles differ in engine brands, power, and additional equipment. The carrying capacity and appearance of these vehicles remains virtually unchanged, except for minor differences.

It’s worth starting with the number of seats in the cabin, of which there are three. Most cars have similar dimensions of the body and loading area. The main gear of the truck is of a hypoid configuration, the steering structure is represented by a “screw-ball nut” type mechanism. The speakers are equipped with a pair of hinges and have a hydraulic booster. Clutch type - single-disc hydraulically driven. Suspension unit - springs.

The UMZ-4216 gasoline engine has a multi-point fuel supply. The diesel analogue of Cummins is equipped with the original Common Rail system. Both power units have microprocessor-type ignition. The power of the first version is 106.8 horsepower, while the diesel engine has 120 horsepower. The volumes of the units are 2890 and 2800 cubic centimeters, respectively. Further parallels regarding engines are drawn in terms of speed and compliance with environmental safety requirements: 2500/2700 rpm, “Euro 3/Euro 4”.

4.9. Body1)

What can it be equipped with? Analogs

A gazelle with a body is the most common option that is produced at the factory. Taking into account the possibility of dismantling the body, the vehicle can be equipped with other equipment and perform various tasks based on the configuration. It could be:

1. Refrigerator refrigerator.
2. Dump truck with a folding body.
3. Isothermal van.
4. Tow truck for passenger cars.
5. Bread booth.
6. Platform for mounting a small crane.

More modern analogues “Farmer”, “Van” and “Next” are designed to increase the functions of the car. “Farmer” is most popular among owners of medium and small businesses and can perform the listed functions. The “Van” vehicle can be used as an armored collection carrier. “Van” and “Next” can be used as a mobile laboratory, an ambulance, or simply for transporting people.

Due to the fact that the GAZ 3302 flatbed has low sides, it is not recommended to equip the vehicle for transporting people in the back.

4.10. Cabin and platform

Story

The need for a compact truck was dictated by new market relations that were actively developing in the country in the early 1990s. The constant increase in the number of small cargo transportation led to a sharp increase in demand for small commercial vehicles, which the Russian automotive industry could not satisfy. There was simply no affordable and high-quality product on the market. The GAZ group was the first to respond to the emerging need by introducing the GAZelle line. The empty niche was supposed to be filled with a very interesting development - the GAZ 3302 light-duty truck.

The appearance of a fundamentally new model in 1994 changed the mechanism of intercity and urban transportation, significantly simplifying it. The technical characteristics of the GAZ 3302 ensured rapid growth and broad opportunities. The new design principle became a turning point in the understanding of cargo transportation, and the model itself became one of the most popular on the Russian market for many years.

The design of the GAZ 3302 could hardly be called stunning. The streamlined cabin is simple in shape without any interesting elements. The model received a standard appearance and was initially equipped with an old-fashioned radiator grille, complemented by rectangular headlights. The developers' priority was functionality.

In the summer of 1995, the Gorky Automobile Plant produced a small series of all-wheel drive GAZ 33027 with a dual-pitch rear tire and permanent all-wheel drive. The modification was intended to work in difficult areas and on dirt roads.

In 2002, an extended version of the GAZ 330202 appeared, initially equipped exclusively with tow truck platforms and auto bench bodies. Subsequently, standard add-ons began to be installed on it. Modifications with increased length made it possible to partially close the niche between the Valdai and GAZelle models.

In 2003, the GAZ 3302 series underwent a minor restyling, which made the design more attractive.

We had to wait 7 years for the next update. Global modernization led to a name change. The car became known as “GAZelle-Business”. The developers borrowed the cabin design from the Ford Transit model, which had a positive effect on the level of comfort and attractiveness. The interior space of the GAZelle-Business has increased (3 people could easily fit in the cabin). Visibility has also improved. At the same time, the Gorky Automobile Plant did not refuse to produce the first modification with a more affordable price.

In 2011, production of a 2-ton model with a reinforced rear axle began.

Back in 1995, the development of a gas-cylinder version of the GAZ 33205 for the CIS countries began, but large-scale production of the model was postponed several times. The car entered production only in the spring of 2010. Previously, all gasified modifications of GAZelle were equipped with gas cylinder equipment through small specialized companies for individual orders. At the same time, the consumer lost the factory warranty, which negatively affected the demand for this model.

4.11. Basic data for adjustments and control

Note: The air pressure in the tires of each axle must be the same according to the specified values.

1) For cars with an all-metal body. 2) For GAZ-2705 vehicles with two rows of seats. 3) For GAZ-330202. 4) For GAZ-330232. 5) Free movement is ensured by the design of the vacuum brake booster. 6) The parameter is provided by the design of the front axle (front axle) and cannot be adjusted. 7) For GAZ-330202 and GAZ-330232. 8)For 4x4 type vehicle. 9) For GAZ-3221 and GAZ-32212.

GAZelle tuning: how not to lose face

The ambitious goals of auto tuning are not an excuse for those who do not improve, but worsen. What not to do? Like this!

You can only move in such a car very slowly and away from other transport. And such a design will not last long - unless a steel plate as thick as an arm is hidden under the bottom of the body.

The desire for stylistic unity of a house, a car and an old wagon left over from a gypsy grandfather can play a cruel joke on the owner of a Gazelle. Bright rags, golden fringe, pennants on the windshield, patterns on the windows... They say half of India and all of Pakistan drive like this. But where is India and where are we? With such tuning of the Gazelle, you won’t get far in our country, and not only because of the indignation of the traffic police inspectors.

Swivel seats are a great idea! The car doesn't always move, does it? It’s better to communicate face to face while parked! The main thing is the reliability of fixing the seats in the selected position. Otherwise, turns on the road will have to be carried out in two steps: the first is to rotate the steering wheel; the second is to return the chair to its original position.

Flocking of body surfaces is either becoming fashionable or will never go out of fashion... Any fleecy material is an unsurpassed dust accumulator and an inexhaustible source of fibrous deposits, but this is not enough. Flocking is a great way to paint your cabin in eye-catching contrasting colors. No one would want to drive such a car!

Chip tuning: useful additives to engine productivity

Chip tuning is necessary for a gazelle engine to the same extent as any other internal combustion engine needs it. The main aspects of chip tuning are covered in the article on the page https://www.autodela.ru/main/top/diy/chip_tuning. According to reviews from car owners, Gazelle chip tuning allows you to:

— make the speed increase fast and smooth, without failures or failures;

— eliminate the effect of “floating” speed in all speed ranges;

— increase traction during the acceleration phase.

Don’t expect a noticeable reduction in fuel consumption from Gazelle chip tuning. But you will certainly feel an increase in throttle response and torque!

The main ways to reduce Gazelle fuel consumption

To reduce fuel costs on Gazelle family vehicles, you must:

• avoid sudden pressure on the accelerator pedal and use engine braking;
• maintain the truck in good technical condition and carry out routine maintenance in a timely manner;
• use fuel grades recommended by the factory;
• Avoid overloading, which negatively affects efficiency and destroys the frame and chassis elements.

If a van is installed on the car, then an aerodynamic shield is mounted on top of the cab, smoothing the air flow and reducing drag. Measurements show that the screen allows you to save up to 2 liters of fuel per 100 km. Another way to reduce costs is to convert carburetor and injection engines to gaseous fuel. Installation of equipment is equivalent to making changes to the design; a corresponding note is entered into the documents for the vehicle, allowing the truck to be used without restrictions.

Other popular performances of "Gazelles"

Among other modifications, several non-board variations should be highlighted:

1. Minibus 3221. This vehicle seats 13 and is equipped with an improved ventilation and heating system. After 2005, ABS is installed on the car. Upon request, the vehicle can be equipped with a high roof and soft seats. A “school” version is produced on the basis of this model.
2. Based on the Gazelle, SemAR vans and minibuses were produced from 1995 to 2007. In addition to passenger and social variations, hearses and emergency vehicles were manufactured. The production of such machines was carried out by a plant in the city of Semenov.
3. In the Tula region, a small bus was produced under the symbol 2221. In addition, restyling of existing GAZ-322132 models was made to order.
4. "Farmer". The vehicle is designed to transport five people and up to one ton of cargo. The car is great for the city and countryside.

Cargo transportation on Gazelle standard

Cargo transportation on a standard tented Gazelle is one of the most common types of cargo transportation in Moscow, the Moscow region and regions of Russia. Load capacity up to 1.5 tons, volume 9 cubic meters, speed of delivery, high maneuverability, wide coverage of transported goods at a relatively low cost - the main characteristics of cargo transportation on the Gazelle.

Food delivery, all types of moves, transportation of: light industrial equipment, construction materials and other cargo corresponding to the vehicle in weight and dimensions.

Cost of transportation by Gazelle

The cost of transportation by Gazelle for intracity transportation in Moscow and the Moscow region consists of the cost of the minimum order of a Gazelle and the cost of its mileage outside the Moscow Ring Road.

The minimum ordering time for a Gazelle is 4 hours + 1 hour for delivery of the car, that is, 5 hours.
