Thank you folks for all the information. I guess I need a brake job as it squeaks every time I pull out the garage. Before the ABS light issue (the light was...

My front brakes always squeak loudly when applied the first few times, no doubt the pads are glazed from lack of serious use. They are far from worn - I only...
My front brakes squeak loudly if I use non-Suzuki pads. I’ve changed aftermarket pads several times using softer or harder pads to no avail. Anything other...
We actually had the worst luck with the stock Suzuki organic pads on our '03 GV. Horribly dusty, were run down to almost nothing by 30k or so, and squealed...
The AC on my 2000 GV is not working (no cold air). The mechanic who checked it told me that the AC fuse was blown. He replaced it with a...
The jist of what I gathered was that if the fuse is blown the fan won't turn. Take a long, thin screw driver and carefully see if you can turn the blades of...
If the fuse is bad the fan will not run. If the fan is bad (seized) a good fuse will blow. See if the blade of the fan will turn easily when the car is not ...
Also, even if the fan doesn't turn, it should still be cold if you're moving above about 60 kph. The fan is for useful low road-speed and stopped operation of...
If the fan is seized, or otherwise drawing enough current to blow the AC fuse, then the compressor will not work either, since it is on the same fuse. You will...
Good point...I'd forgotten about that. If worse comes to worst, to have it work short-term, he could just unplug the fan, if that is the root of the problem. ...
Hi all: Im new on this group. Im buying a Grand Vitara to replace two vehicles. One is a Honda Element and the other is a Ford Explorer. I tow sailboats and...
Hey there, Eric. Welcome. A few of us have done some towing. For reference, in the UK, and in the UK only, the GV is 'allowed' to tow 4,400 lbs, which is a ...
I'm thinking the towing rating for the GV's in the US is 3k...I think...I swear...I think... I might suggest a XL7 instead of a GV. We liked our '03 GV but it...
2001 GV automatic, stock but for K&N AF and BFG 29" AT KO's. Nearing 150,000 miles. Just put on hitch last week (Class III as the Class I does not allow using...
Thanks all for info. Im looking at the 08 and it is rated for 3000lbs. Plus I have surge brakes on trailer. Boat / trailer & lots of gear is just around 2200...
Ah, an 08...whole different animal than the ones we're used to. Not much experience here with them. There is a subforum for them over at www.zukiworld.com . ...
I did end up buying the 08 Grand Vitara. Anyway it pulls my 2000 lb plus boat and trailer without any problems. The trailer has brakes so even the better at...
I'd guess your owner's manual would be a good place to look for this info, there might be model/ year/ location specific differences. But, the EPC lists them...
The "long-life" ones can easily last 80-100K miles. I still had the OEM ones in my GV when I sold it, w/76K on the clock. Kelly ... consider a ... variants? ...
Eh, seen to many "100k" spark plug stories where someone pulled them out LONG before the factory said it was necessary and found the smallest gap was past the...
Yeah, I can dig it. I remember vividly when a good friend of mine replaced one bank of plugs in his twin-turbo Dodge Stealth (read: Mitsubishi VR-3000 GT, or...
My Ranger didn't seem to care at all. When I pulled the stockers out at 140k or so the smallest gap was around .1" and several were PAST that and wider than my...
