Happy to help! Thanks for watching

[@darrinwelliver8219]

Thanks man. You're the only one to show me how operate that damn tensioner pulley. 👍👍😊

[@jasonc3221]

just got a 2000 chevy tracker and have been loving your videos! it really gets me inspired to keep working on my car! thank you for all your work

[@cullenbillhartz3034]

This is the most amazing repair video ever.

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

We'll drink to that 🍻

[@BustedKneeAdventures]

This video helped me a lot. My 01 Chevy tracker popped the radiator so I changed everything radiator, belts, hoses, thermostat and coolant. the belts were a challenge I didn't know about the 10 mm hex.

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

Gear to hear the video was helpful!

[@USdefender1]

I don't even have one of these cars. I have a 97 Geo Tracker, but watching your videos is like watching an old friend so I watch them all. Stay Great bro.

[@kd2mgm494]

Bro, I literally came here to write the same exact comment.

[@stevepope5484]

Watched this again. Because it's very good! Got anti freeze on my belts/no doubt./ I am tired of squealing belts and a belt worn into would be no good!

[@maz5907]

Thank you for sharing brother. I hope you and your loved ones are well. I just got a hold of an 01 and am trying to pump the brakes on going deep right away.

[@stephenedmonds5322]

Brilliant.. Thankyou for sharing.. Saved me heaps of time. Merry Christmas!!

[@Jesus-on2cr]

I enjoyed the high life quick break too brother. He'll yea

[@vernemcsween9699]

Thanks for the video now I have the guidance. I appreciate the advice.

[@artroberts1815]

thanks very much for your vids on the vitaras..I love my suzuki but of course the suv needs work now and then..your vids help and your comedic action is really enjoyed by this old canuck redneck up here in northern alberta!!

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

Glad you're enjoying the videos, thanks for watching!

[@mrclay50]

our 2002 alternator just went out and I needed to learn the trick about the number 10 alan since I loosened the wrong belt at the start. Got it, thank you very much, "Cobra Kai"!

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

Happy to help out! 👍🙂

[@mrclay50]

@@Hwy83SUZUKI Got it all fixed thanks a lot I did have to remove the fan and fan cover but no problem... have a great day

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

@@mrclay50 it's a tight fit! Glad you got the job done ✔️

[@HoreUnderBordet]

Nice tips and tricks do you have a video actually showing replacing the belts? Like where to put it etc, with the visibility not being the greatest etc i think i will struggle with that part

[@dadteaches]

got a 96 body and chassis in KS if you want it! Parting it out, taking just about everything on it. Frame is great, body looks like a beer can that's been in the woods for 25 years.

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

Save as many parts as you can!

[@dadteaches]

@@Hwy83SUZUKI I'm saving every part that's not broken :) I have a 95 that I want to keep alive until I can get antique tags on it :)

[@GodHimerosTv]

Man this the best video thanks mann✨✨im on it rn and is making everything easier

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

Glad the video was helpful!

[@johndeere1174]

Hey Tony, this isn't about replacing belts, but I own a 2003 Vitara, and a couple years ago the LSPV valve started leaking, its next to impossible to find a new one anywhere, and because its a brake part, didn't want to get one from the junkyard. Ended up replacing it with an aftermarket adjustable proportioning valve. Would appreciate you making a video about this, from reading online Suzuki forum posts, this happens quite a lot.

[@stevepope5484]

I really enjoyed your video! Glad I watched/I don't remember the Allen in the idler center? Years ago I replaced the compressor/dryer /condenser etc. One of these belts has allmost c allways squeeled a while on start up. You no/shut off the AC or the engine/start back up. Alternator belt is newer. I've forgotten now. They both feel tight enough to me? I don't care for the idler design/they must a know a spring would never do it. What'd u think? New belts again?tighten again? Yeah It's stupid tight!!

[@jarenelee9017]

Any tricks on getting the alternator belt back on it’s really tight

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

Thanks for the video!

[@johnwarren5938]

I just got a 2001 Vitara Manual 2L. I really need help with general knowledge about it, if possible

[@stephenedmonds5322]

Hey, could you do a video on fixing oil leaks on the 1999 Suzi V6? I have nothing but oil leak issues..

[@Bdub1952]

Thanks for keeping the legend of Suzuki alive, brother. I've got a 2 liter Vitara but I still learn alot.

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

Suzuki 4 Life!

[@donaldanway7137]

Thanks, great video !

[@shantwhite1981]

Awesome video! My bf will be changing belts on my 2006 GV today, and I’m the “camera woman” 😅 Love the acknowledgement and shout out to her!👩🏼‍🔧. Also, have you experienced any rusty fuel line issues?

[@tannerfugitt5552]

How are the belts? Routed which one goes in front of the other?

[@Lm701]

Do you have, or know of, any videos about replacing/removing the fan? Trying to get to the crank bolt from the top and the fan is in the way and I'm having a hard time with it.

[@nathanielross2104]

Hey man I can not for the life of me get that second belt on even with the tension pully in the loosest position, any tips? Should I put in on the crank ac and power steering first and try to get it under the tension or het it on the crank ac and tension then try to pry it onto the power steering. What's the order of operations here so to speak

[@forsakenclassicgaming]

Thank you!

[@pedrostutz5272]

Very good bro. Keep on suzuking!

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

Thank you!

[@forgiven88]

really appreicate this

[@adamriordan9493]

This helped so much, i was looking everywhere for the alternator pulley.

[@JnRskaters]

Do a how to use timing light video on geo trackers

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

Great idea! - we will add it to the list of future videos

[@trevortrillion6037]

No hollow pipes here. Could I use a 24" breaker bar, 3/8" or 1/2" drive?

[@forgiven88]

Hey what size is the alternator bolt with the torx. I'm about to replace my alternator but I do not own any torx.

[@indegruv]

I'm changing belts on my 96 today. Bolts keep falling out my a/c compressor, new belts rubbed and shredding.

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

We'll be doing a belt change video on the 1.6L soon. Have a good day wrenching on your Geo-Suzuki!

[@roetemeteor]

Video is a live-saver. 04 tracker came into shop with bad compressor. I swear they love to overengineer these things to make a 2 hour job a 5 hour one.

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

Glad the video was helpful!

[@ЕвгенийКоростелев-с1г]

Спасибо!!!

[@louiswooley966]

I replaced my samiris belt and cover that was gone when I bought the great ride

[@mohamedRajab-yy6px]

Can I find new engine or block G16B zero KM

[@brutushobbies]

Wait. It has an EVAP canister? I didn't they came with one. My 02 GV is missing one then. Lol I'm having problems with the thermal heat element that's on the throttle body.

[@firenza420]

Ya the 2.5 evap canister should be under by transfer case

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

There are some changes through the years with these vehicles. The GV shown is a 1999 model

[@Jesus-on2cr]

Hahaha find the designer guy and kick it right in the middle of the night . Be tween 1 and 2 lmfao

[@rehab1012]

The belt is so tight. Its hard to get in on the alternator. Did they give me the wrong belt?

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

Warmer weather or try to pre stretch the belt. Get it caught on the alternator turn use a wrench to rotate the alternator and walk the belt on

[@stevest1300]

I measure all shade tree mechanic fixes in beers, farts and Daddy words. I'd rank this at 4 beers, 2 farts and 18 Daddy words...10 of those for the alternator bolt as I'm swapping it out as well.

[@ka4172]

And next change the three cam chains and tensioner tutorial! If theres a ticking noise from your V6 engine (some day) if it start and dont went away in seconds your chain tensioner wear out.Not a funny job as a belt change ha ha.

[@stevepope5484]

Be sure your not doing my thing/using 20w50. In law /mechanic /told me/ go by the book/10/30 I think? Onlyv160k now on this 02 xl7. Thick oil wouldn't let chain tension er pump up? This was 40k back.

[@joshuasanders6893]

Please define “balls nut tight” for the belt tension

[@Kripeshvlog4U]

Belt number.. Fan belt.. Compressar belt

[@waynepickhardt4975]

Whoever thought of putting this engine in a tracker belongs in a mental institution

[@johnsmith3336]

I wanna meet YOU in a dark alley

[@stevepope5484]

Hahahaha! Easy buddy this guy's straight!
