Glad your wife is OK! 2 winters ago my 2000 Vitara did a 360 and fell in the ditch on icy condition. It does not have ABS as the wheels locked and lost control...
I just bought a 2000 GV. Can anyone please tell me the engine and auto trans oil capacity. Also which fluid is recommended for the auto transmission. Thanks....
... If you give Suzuki a call (1-800-934-0934) and give them your VIN#, they'll send you a manual at no cost. Great deal. Kate http://cholulared.blogspot.com &...
Yeah, the car is almost ten years old, if you're not the original owner, the manual is likely gone...used as a coaster at some point. Still, this is a wholly...

... No worries, mate. Yeah, more engine oil is a good thing. My 4.2L V-8 Mercedes holds, get this, 8.5 quarts. No, it's not a diesel. On top of that, the...
Anyone else having trouble with the diffs and transfer case filler plugs ? My TC and rear diif plug are so tight I cannot budge them. managed to get the front...
Yeah, I had that same problem with the rear plug. This was at year four, maybe, with 60K miles on it. Had to drill it and use a big ole Ez-out...the...
I scanned through some of the posts looking for info re: the best batteries for the GV. Figured it was easier to ask. My 2004 V6 GV automatic has the...
Battery technology, well you get what you pay for. Don't expect any battery to last more than 5 years so the median price is probably the best choice. Over...
Darci, my opinion, battery: Optima or the newer technology Sears Diehard (spendy). Tires, BFG All Terrain AT KO's. My near stock 2001 auto is our DD and gets...
Darci, have you checked the water level in the battery? If not, pluck a cap off and have a look-see. If there is no fluid touching the bottoms of the...
Darci - If wiggling the battery cables gets it to work then you have a corrosion problem at the terminals or inside the cable sheath(s). Disconnect and clean...
FWIW, I had this happen to the point I replaced both of my cable ends. They'd never gotten crudded up, or anything, but managed to get corroded *underneath*...

OOPS !!!!! SORRY ABOUT THAT LAST POST!! (I hadn't even done any "toasting", yet !!!) (I know!! I'll blame it on YaHoo!!!) heheheheheh.. Anyway... I KNEW I...
Darci, I still have both my `99 and `05 GVs. The 99 is parked in the woods on our land and is overrun with mice. However, the mice problem is greatly reduced...
WOW!! That sounds like a neat home, Lillie !! You will have to send the group of photo of the completed construction. I finally had a chance to go to the...
Soooooo.... I just got back from driving over I-70 west of Denver. The roads were icy, snow-packed all the way ... with intermittent snow!! Besides the fact...
I was told, back in ’02, to set the lower right lever (internal/external vent intake) to half way between. This provides a mix of internal and external air...
Darci, Being an ex-resident of the area just south of I-70, west of Denver, I know all too well of which you speak. Honestly, it was likely so cold, it...
Thanks, Kelly !! I knew you'd have some answers. Yes.. it was rather cold .. although NOT below 0. I am definitely looking for better tires .. better...
Oh, had it been below -0-, you'd have found a warm building in which to hover in the nearest unoccupied corner until it got warmer. I recommend Idaho Springs...
I was under the impression that there was open and closed only with that control. Are you saying that it is variable? I have the original equip card that...
My mechanic was the one that told me about it. I/we complained about not getting any heat out of the heater. He told us to set the vent lever halfway and it...
