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...
Yeah, while new cars are safer against brick walls and similarly-sized contemporary vehicles, I'd still not want to go up against the 5,300 lb. 1973 Coupe...
Hello everyone, Two things: 1) My remote door locks have not worked since 2004. Tried replacing the batteries, no dice. 2) My GV suffers from hard cold starts...
In addition to replacing the battery, you need to reprogram the controller. The dealer has always done mine but there is a procedure that lets a person can do...
Yeah, my '99 is like this, and it happens about every three years...the remotes seem to 'wear out'. They behave as if the battery is low, but replacing it...
Hey all, I drive a 2003 GV. Any tips on improving the fuel economy? It could be my imagination, but it seems like ever since I was in an accident the fuel ...
I had the same problem with my 02 GV and my wife's 02 XL-7. They were both under warranty and the dealer replaced the original systems with programmable ones....
I recently noticed the same thing on my 2002. I foud that if I drive 65mph and under on the highway I get 25mpg instead of 22mpg when I drive 75-80 mph. Nathan...
There are many things that can decrease fuel performance on any car, like low tire pressure, bad tire alignment, overdue engine maintenance, etc... ... From:...
A few years ago, I noticed that my fuel economy was significantly lower than when my GV was new. I replaced my spark plugs with new platinum ones and got a...
I'd be ecstatic if I got 22 mpg. I've got 245 75 16 offroad tires on, and drive 70-80 mph. I'm only getting about 15-16 mpg highway at this time. I'm...
Bummer. I managed to get about 22 on 245/70's and not being gentle with it. I have to admit, this car is, for me, unpleasant to drive at more than about 70,...
Wow...those are pretty good numbers. I got around 22-23 right after I changed plugs and the fuel filter (around 80,000 miles on the truck if I remember...
Yeah, it still surprises me at times, though my wife's 600 lbs. heavier, half a liter larger V-6, four speed automatic, wider, AWD, ultra-luxurious Lexus RX300...
Hmmmm....that hi octane fuel bit is interesting. I always assumed that since the manuals usually say "use fuel with a minimum octane rating of 87" it would be...
Well, I think my clutch (or at least part of it) bit the dust last night. Here's the background info: I have 125,000 miles on my 5 speed GV. About 45,000 of...
The car companies are doing CYA by stating to use no less than X octane, as damage can occur by doing so. This being said, it should be noted above about 3500...
Dave, you may be in luck. I personally do not think the clutch is toast. Here's why: you could move from a stop in 3rd gear. That ain't happening with a...
I've found, when it's cold, like below 40F, which isn't really *cold*, but y'know, the clutch pedal is kinda mushy. It still works, but it does not release...
In a message dated 10/22/2006 12:26:56 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, jazzsaxdave@... writes: I don't have reverse...won't go in...just a constant grind....
Well Kelly, I think my day may be getting worse. I popped the hood, and it took a minute to locate the clutch master cylinder. It was extremely dirty and...
Well, it's not better, that's for certain. Two things...brake fluid, which is the fluid in there, is hydroscopic, so it absorbs water. It did not evaporate....
Anyone done a mod for this? It seems oddly missing on such a new vehicle as my 2004 GV TD. I've looked at the wiring diagram and it looks reasonably easy....
... Hi Paul. Funny, I read that and immediately went roh-roh- expecting the windows to be controlled through the BCM. But as they aren't, all you need to do is...
David, Yeah, I figure removing fuse 42 and providing power to the load side from a 555-timer-driven 30A relay. To be most practical it would probably just...
Hey all! I was just about to purchase a couple new tires for my GV, and the guy informed me that on a 4x4 I have to replace all the tires at the same time, or...
I had the exact same symptoms in a 98 Sidekick Sport. There is a small bracket where the clutch pedal meets the firewall. It had bent. Dealership said it was a...
Not entirely true, but I see where he's coming from. With our 4wd system, the front and rear tires must travel at near the same rotational rate because we do...
