  1. Sidekick/Escudo/Vitara/ Geo/X-90 &Tracker(’89-’98)
    Okay so I’ve been reading and watching a ton of YouTube videos, going through old threads and mostly need reassurance, but for context: Had the P0400 code, white smoke while driving, but still not horrible MPG, averaged around 22-24. Took it to get smogged and the shop cleaned the EGR, no more...

    Hey y’all! Bought a 1996 Sidekick about 2 weeks ago, went in to get it smogged and it won’t pass, and the Service Engine Light is on. The main issues that are coming up is the P0400 code, which seems to be an EGR Valve problem and then there’s white smoke coming from the tailpipe when driving...

    I have a 97 suzuki sidekick jlx sport with an 03 2.0 tracker motor swapped in it. I bought it 4 months ago and the post said it had a rebuilt motor in it. Every now and again it would misfire on the freeway for a few seconds than go away almost like the timing retarded. Everything ran fine for a...
  4. 2G (1999-2005) Vitara & Grand Vitara
    I've posted before about my problem but no one had any experience as to what I was experiencing. It's a 97 sidekick sport jlx 1.8 with a 03 J20 motor swap. Engine block and head are 2.0, intake, fuel rail, injectors, coil packs and cam sensor are from the 1.8. Not many people around with this...

    I have a 1997 suzuki sidekick convertible. There is currently no top on it. On the roof, there is a bar that goes across the front that has a lever on either side so it can be flipped back to the back of the roof. There are snaps on this bar for the soft top to attach to. I am wondering what...
  6. 2G (1999-2005) Vitara & Grand Vitara
    Gentleman. I have been a proud Tracker owner for roughly a decade now. We've been through thick and thin, 10 years, roughly a 100 thousand miles, and a replacement engine (my bad). Recently I acquired a pretty sweet little 93 sidekick, which I planned on building into a (mostly) dedicated 4x4...

    Hi all, I'm new to the forum and Sidekicks and, after having read through a lot of different threads, wanted to confirm I'm going to do this right. I need to tow a '96 Sidekick JX - it's a manual 4WD w/ manual hubs. Because it's only a one-time tow, although around 250 miles, I'm hoping to...
  8. Sidekick/Escudo/Vitara/ Geo/X-90 &Tracker(’89-’98)
    Hello! I am searching around for the best way to tow my Suzuki Sidekick with a tow dolly and it seems the recommended way is backwards with the front tires on the ground. I heard from some people that this should only be used for short distance tows and not a long road trip like I'm taking...

    Hey folks -- I'm a first time car buyer and hoping to get some advice from some suzuki heads! Below is the ad for the car along with some pictures. I guess I am trying to figure out: 1) if this is a good deal; and 2) what I should look out for as a first buyer of this type of car (and in...

    Hey guys I’m trying to find some pictures or encouraging commentary on people who have installed the 2500x2500 or 2000x2500 ARB awning on their Suzuki Sidekick/Tracker/Sunrunner preferably first gen. I’ve looked around on here, facebook and YouTube to little to no avail. If you don’t have an ARB...

    Just purchased a 97 Sidekick, and looking for some help on this switch light. The light on the dash is always on, no matter the switch position? The owners manual does not list anything and I do not know what it controls. It is on the drivers side lower dash, the owners manual is not specific...

    Does anyone know if a JB64/74W Jimny aftermarket steering wheel hub would work/be compatible on a USDM 1998 Sport Sidekick? I've been looking to put in an aftermarket steering wheel, and I'd rather not remove the clockspring, as Id like to be able to return the car to stock, and I found a Daikei...

    Hi there, I bought my 1990 Sidekick with a 1.6L 8V, Auto, 4x4 a couple years ago and have now started to go through all the issues with it. It was used as a plow vehicle before I bought it so suffice to say it has seen alot and the body was cut apart by the previous owner and put back together...

    Greetings Everyone. Last summer I purchased a 1994 Sidekick with a 1.6 engine. I was checking everything over before I haul it up north as my fun vehicle up there, and I noticed an issue with my 4WD. I locked both (manual) hubs, jacked the entire car up and put the transfer case in 4WD and all...
