Okay, this isn't a personal smear but I need to make sure people are aware of this. This guy sold lifts he made himself and hasn't been delivering lately. I...
Okay, I'm not a beach guy...I've driven on the beach one time, on the Texas coast in Galveston, and it was like pavement. While on the Outer Banks, this is NC,...
Hi Kelly, always fun reading your posts. We have a fair amount of beaches, sand and dunes to negotiate here in Western Australia. I have found that the...
Kelly, as Eugene said you definately want to go with a less aggressive tire and low psi in most cases with sand. I hate sand but after having it school me a...
Hi guys, Hi everyone, a newbie to 4X4. I have just collected my GV,2.0L Auto Pre 2005) everything is great just that when i shift from 2H to 4H, when i engage...
Also, when you engage 4x4, you also engage the locking front differential, thus the two front wheels must turn at the same speed. On hard packed dirt terrain,...
Hi, thanks for the link and your explanation, guess i have the wrong concept of part time 4X4 and full time 4X4.Luckily, did not really force (4wd mode) it on...
I'm wondering if anybody out there has found a way to adjust the headlight angle on GVs without the electronic leveling switch. After my body lift was...
Perhaps the DOT lights are different, Dave, but the E-codes certainly DO have adjusters. Should be a little toothed metal wheel that you can either ease round...
Sorry, Robert, but it's not true unless he had put a locker in the front diff. Usual GVs, as any part-time 4x4, maintain its front and rear diffs functioning...
No problem: you may be right for your GV or other countries' models of GV, but the 1999 GV for the US market comes (should I say came?) with a locking front...
... transfer ... described ... the ... vehicles ... Terminological inexactitude there, Robert. The front diff on ALL GVs is the same. It has NO locking...
That's news to me, David. I'm going to jack up the front end and test this one out! Strange that my Samurai, which has two open diffs, never makes the noise...
My GV makes (and always has made) a banging noise when in difficult traction situations in 4WD (particularly in 4HI). If I'm in mud or snow, even going...
GV Model 2000 V-6 Hi friends, Good Morning.. Just 2 months back I took my GV to the dealer garage due to the engine over heat, that needle was showing more...

Are you sure it's actually overheating? There's a sensor for the gauge, but there'll be another one for the engine's computer. It would be worth getting live...
Yes, David. its over heating I think. Reservoir coolant level also going down. Dealer garage saying that no leak found anywhere. Morning and evening time no...

Well, not that people need to hear it from me, but I DID test the function of the 4WD "locking" system this weekend, and re-read the book, and it is in fact...
Hi George, You should also consider that engine heat problems can also be caused by a clogged Catalytic Converter. I have seen many cases of engine overheating...
Yes, the GV is part time 4x4,and I also owned a 99 Land Cruiser Prado, that had a full time 4x4 (like Subarus, CRvs, Rav 4) and the transfer lever, that ...
If the coolant level is still going down and the thing is still reading high I'd bet you have a leak somewhere. Another cracked head, bad gasket, or worse...
I think, Suzuki also found out that central differential is important for on-road stability and starting from 2006, in 5-door models they provide 4Hi ...
All - apologies for "using" the group; I am an active member of other Yahoo groups, and would want to know if there was something as good as this available in...
I've thought about it. We have an 05 Aerio SX that my wife drives , and I'm seriously dissapointed that Suzuki greatly diminished the cargo room (the Aerio...
No they're just seeing the buying trends of the yuppie morons and also the trend in where the government is trying to legislate safer cars. If it's already AWD...
