All, Is there any difference in the automatic transmissions on the following Suzuki models? Sidekick 2.0 V6 Grand Vitara 2.0 (4 cilinders) Grand Vitara 2.5 V6 ...
As best I know, they are all the same. IIRC, they are some variety of Toyota transmission that has reworked shift points for the various engines. I had a '99,...
the tires........new 225/70R16 BFGoodrich Long Trail T/A Tours on all four corners at 34 Psi. and no rubbing. definitely a better steering feel, less noise,...
I can tell ya, there are some mighty beefy Zip-ties out there in fixit land. I *still* have some from a package which fell off a truck, back in Dallas, and...
I've got an '02 GV, 2.5 V6, auto with 70K miles. I've changed the drive train to Mobil synthetic (engine oil, diff grease and trans fluid) about 10K ago. Now...
I have no clue where all that info is...but it's on here, somewhere. I bet if you did a search on KYB and camber, it'd be in the results. It won't be two...
Have 2001 GV H25 auto. Have near 29 inch tires (second set of BFG ko's) with no other frame, suspension, or body mods. Just put new KYB stock on all 4...
... i was just wondering how expensive it got to replace the O2 sensors on the GV. i've replaced sensors on other cars before but not as expensive as the GV...
Bummer. O2 sensors *are* horribly expensive, but at least you're not shopping for a catalytic converter! That sounds about right, as far as MPG drop. It's...
found some 02 sensors from rockauto.com .....upstream and downstream both side for about $225. i might as well replace all of them and get the knuckle-busting...
I'm back, sorta. No more Suzuki's but I'm helping my former FIL out here. Anyways, apparently there's a burnt out bulb in one of the running lights on my...
i think you do have to pull the headlight assembly off. it's easy to put back on because you won't have to do any kind of realignment. the braket/mount that...
True. It's only two or three decently-sized Phillips head screws, gold in color. Not difficult, just more aggravating than it should be, based on this...
I think the removing of the grill part is the PITA about this. I tried to take it off of our GV once to get at the original horn and ended up just giving up...
IIRC, when I changed the bulbs on mine ('02), I pulled the row of buttons on the radiator support which gave me enough room to get my habd behind the light...
Hello All, My AC gave up. Like everybody else. The Truck has around 72K miles so I am not that mad and this is actually the firs significant repair. So I...
My Suzuki A/C experience is with a '99 GV, but it should be similar for a 2002 XL7. I think they were still nearly identical from the back of the front door,...
As most of the people who frequent the site know, I have a '02 GV and a '06 GV. I recently changed the '02 GV running gear to Mobil gear lubrication, the auto...
Hey, guys! Where's everybody? Such a long time without receiving one single message from the list... Have you all given up the GVs? LoL. Br, Carlos Lauria ....
You've gotta figure all but the engine oil doesn't need to be changed, again. I look at this as "eco-friendly", too, as you're saving petroleum resources over...
Hey guys. Long time no post. Anyway, i am looking for a driver side front fender. I need to replace it do to a pole getting in my wifes way (haha). I am...
Give up on the GV, NOT. I've got a '02 (70K miles) and a '06 (40K miles). I'm in the middle USA R Wink _____ From: suzukigrandvitara@yahoogroups.com ...
I found that the gear whine from either the front or back diff, or maybe the transfer case, went away. The back one had been rebuilt, trying to find the case...
I'm still reading the thread if there is something interesting. My GV is about to pass 200 000 Kilometres. The engine is noisier then it should be but it still...
Hi Everybody, Hehehe.. that’s true.. not even a single message from the group. By the way, I replaced my 2000 model GV with a new GV model 2009 (4Cyl.)...
