my 2000 GV 5-spd, 4x4 has 130K miles on it and still gets 21-22 MPG out of a 15-mile, one-way commute here in orange county, CA. it comes out to about 320...
Yeah, but do you correct for the factory speedo/odo error? It was too much cost for them to reprogram the computer to work with 235/60/16 tires versus the base...
My 2002 manual gets about 20 to 21 mpg. I bike commute so it sits. I bike commute 9 miles one way. I go from Brea to Anaheim. My mpg is infinite. Ben C WARNING...
Kelly; Just so you know. I have a ’02 GV 2.5L-V6-Auto with 235/60R-16’s Goodyear Intergrity all round. Checking mileage on a recent trip of over hundred ...
I started at about 20 miles from home and used a more or less straight stretch of highway that runs from the state border to Louisville, KY (I64) through...
i figure since 235/60R16 are what all GVs have, then those are the numbers i'll work with. i do remember some discussion about 225/70R16 to be the closest...
No problem. Then the problem was fixed between '99 and '02. It was the speedo/odo read *high*, not low. Good for speeding ticket avoidance, but bad for...
You know…I had a ’99 with the same basic engine, auto and tire size. It always got better gas mileage than this ’02 and I wondered why. I never checked...
I too have noticed that. We've had a '03 GV and now an O2 XL7 and neither has gotten the gas mileage that the folks with the earlier 99-01 or so GV's have...
Hello: I'm getting our 2000 GV ready for my daughter at school in Colorado. Sent Mr Meoge to the Suzuki shop in Oak Ridge and was disappointed with the...
I think that it’s more of a strainer than a filter. I looked through the PDF manuals I have for a transmission filter and all I could find refered to a...
After denting my gas tank skid on some shell-rock here in Florida a few weeks ago, and realizing how cheesy the factory skid is, I emailed Sean DeVinney at...
I know this is a little off-topic, but I thought you might want to see Suzuki's new pickup that comes out this fall. It's built by Nissan (basically a...
Ooooh, and if it *is* a strainer, not a paper/fabric filter, **MAKE CERTAIN THEY DON'T REPLACE IT WITH A NEWER STYLE!** The metal mesh does a better job of...
Yes, it is a metal strainer. You can pull it, wash it, and re-install it .... but do they sell the gasket separately? The whole kit - 2 gaskets and new...
I've got the NAPA brand filter sitting on a shelf in the garage. Sure looks like every other transmission filter I've ever seen. ... re-install it .... but do...
Looks cool. Suzuki talking much about it yet? I know they have been e-pimping it for a while know. Add a diesel engine and I'll come running quick. Let the...
AHhhh…shouldn’t talk to the other half ‘bout that? 8^) R. Wink _____ From: suzukigrandvitara@yahoogroups.com [mailto:suzukigrandvitara@yahoogroups.com]...
Well, I didn't specify which organs. I know I'm good without a lung, kidney, and maybe a liver...and hey, that left eye can't see for sh$^ anyways... ... ...
hmmmm... interesting. Suzuki has totally lost its identity. Unless they come up with something I like by the time my little 2004 GV dies, I doubt I will be...
Just last week I was wondering how come Suzuki never had a pickup in its lineup as far as I knew! Isn't it ironic...... don't you think? Since it's a Nissan +...
I am afraid you are right... sigh.. I saw the new Suzuki "crossover" advertised on TV this evening. All Wheel Drive. Yeah.. I've always heard Suzuki was a...
Darci, see our discussion earlier this month about the mpg issue. Your first GV might not have gotten the good gas mileage you thought it did. Basically we...
In my experience conventional auto trannies in general use strainers for the oil pickup. Most are wire mesh but some use a porous synthetic material. It...
We only 2 more people to make this happen. Any takers? George ... few weeks ago, and realizing how cheesy the factory skid is, I emailed Sean DeVinney at...
Hi all, I have a problem with my 2000 GV. The real differential is leaking. It lost about half a quart oil before I noticed the noise. Now I am trying to...
