Well, there's no plastigauge involved in setting up a Suzuki diff. It's all dial gauge, torque wrench, and mechanics blue IIRC... It's weird, that. What kind...
I know these things get towed all the time and thousands of their family of vehicles have lived happy lives as dinghies but I keep wondering if the towing has...
Our Y2K has about 65,000 towed miles, 100,000+ total and (knock, knock) never had a problem. Since we've had it we have wheeled it fairly hard out in the snow...
Good point about the housing. If it's out of spec then this could kill the gears and axleshafts. It's the bane of Jeepers with those little Dana 35 rear...
I'd rather not split them up, it would be to hard to sell the other two. That price is a steal, these tires are almost new. Jeff Stoess www.tireballs.com ... ...
Jeff: I see what you mean. What I was planning to do was buy 3 OEM from tirerack, and use my unused spare to complete the set. If things change, let me know. ...
Seems ANY pre-2003 Suzuki GV has some type of problem with either the front or the rear differentials. Everyone probably remembers my 2000 GV had 2 front...
Hey all, For the last few days, the door light on our 2003 GV has been steady on. I'm not sure which door it is, but I think it's the rear hatch. I've slammed...
the rear hatch light switch on my 2000 was loose...so i fixed it. then the light assembly on the ceiling itself started acting up where it won't stay on unless...

My front light *doesn't* come on. It isn't the door switches, as the light has no power to it. It was intermittant for a while before it died, but I never...
Well, if they were my P235/60R16 tires then yes, I might split them up depending on how many people want. I'd rather not split up the Goodyears. I'll keep...
darci, the problems with the 99-01 GV/Vit/XL7 front diffs were that- A: The axleshaft bearing/seal on the "long" side of the housing is sort of a poor design...
well I am just a hopeless woman when it comes to these things. My door handle snapped off in the cold a few weeks ago and Im wondering if it can be replaced...
Hi all. Has anyone ever used Red Line SI-1 complete fuel system cleaner? Their technical information makes it sound like the next best thing since electronic...
Hi all, Newest noise in my GV: After sitting for a few hours (minimum so far is four hours), after I put the GV in gear and release the brake, there is a...
... Both are possible for sure, but before looking at serious stuff it might be worth a look at the brake pads and shoes- both are located by springs and front...
I'm with David, it's likely the e-brake. What part of the world do you live in? I ask, 'cause I noticed when I was in Portland, OR, the clutch would be...
I'm in the midwest, so there could be brake rusting... That was my first though, until complication #2: This afternoon, it made the clank when the engine...
Just a WAG... Check the starter mounting bolts. Chris ... From: Dan <dwsideri@...> To: suzukigrandvitara@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, January 5, 2007...
Well, it's getting bad enough so that I won't take my GV more than a couple of miles. I know I'm within 50 miles of walking, which I don't want to do in...
Y'know, given the expansion of parts with engine heat, this isn't too far out there. It happening when you start it means it's very unlikely to be related to...
Interesting info, AJM!! I STILL ask the lube people to double check the front differential. From my experience, the differential fluid was leaking and being...
Yeah, Kelly. The vehicle was still under warranty which was only (what??) 40,000 miles or was it 35,000???? I could tell the front was about to go out for a...
So the 2002 XL7's door remote seems to be dying. I have two questions: 1. Can you replace the battery in these things? Is it doable by me or am I needing to...
Wow! You got four entire years out of yours. Truly amazing... I'm kind of kidding. It might be this is a different system, and for y'all's case, I hope it...
Thanks for the advice... I looked all around the engine yesterday, and nothing seems out of place. So now here is complication #3: I fired up the engine after...
