I don't know anything about grand vitaras. Hopefully someone who knows will be along shortly!

In the meantime, I got this from google:

Suzuki Grand Vitara
Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.6 i 96 cv 5.125:1 1.816 / 1.00
Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.0 i 128 cv 4.875:1 1.816 / 1.00
Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.5 i V6 144 cv 4.30:1 1.816 / 1.00
Suzuki G Vitara 2.0 TD Mazda 87cv 4.30:1 1.861 / 1.00
Suzuki G Vitara 2.0 TD 8v 110cv 4.30:1 1.861 / 1.00
Suzuki G Vitara 2.0 HDI 16v 109cv 3.909:1 1.653 / 1.00
Suzuki G Vitara XL-7 2.0 HDI 109cv 3.909:1 1.653 / 1.00
Suzuki G Vitara XL-7 V6 2.7 173cv 4.30:1 1.816 / 1.00

The 2.0 grand vitara seems to have a 4.875:1 diff ratio, and a 1.816:1 low ratio transfer case (1:1 high ratio). According to this info your diff ratios are unique to the 2.0. You'll need a GV2000 axle.

Might not be correct, that's just what I got from google. Talk to ScottieJ, I think he's just got a GV2000 for bits (he wants the engine) so he might have a rear axle going.

Is yours a manual or auto? They have different ratios
