  Is there a way to decode the VIN # on a track/kick to see the exact info on it? By that I mean like, where it was made, options,parts differences between models etc?

There are some free sites that will let you put in a VIN code and see what it says.

I'm not remembering what they are right now, but Google VIN decoding and you should get a few.

Oh, crap.  My brain musta slipped a tooth on the cam between the beginning and end of this thread...

Well, the ackerdackerly fsm won't cover the Track/Kick - will it?

Anyway, if it starts with a J it's built in Japan, and if it starts with a 2S3 it's a CAMI Kick.

The vin #'s should all be the same, be it a chebby or zuk ect. I could be wrong though.

 Well I found one, well 2 actually.

http://www.vehicleidentificationnumber.com/carfax.html

http://www.analogx.com/contents/vinview.htm

 Turns out I've got a Canadian Tracker. Mine actually starts with 2CN though and not 2S3. I guess 2S3 is for Sidekicks. I was searching for a specific Geo/Suzuki decoder like they have for chevys and whatnot to tell you the exact info, but I can't seem to find one.  :P

My FSM has some decode info for the VIN ... I can scan/summarize l8r ...

RPO is the meat ... (check the glove box sticker)

(note this list is pretty good but none are fully complete)

     Here's what my FSM for a 95 Tracker describes the codes, in order left to right.  In paranthesis is the example it gives.
1.  Nation of Origin (2 : Canada)
2. Manufacturer (C : CAMI/GM of Canda/ Suzuki J.V.)
3. Make and Type (N : multipurpose pass vehicle)
4. GWR in pounds (B : 3001-4000, hydraulic brake system)
5. Line and Chassis Type (E : compact cab, 4x2.  J : compact cab 4x4)
6. Truck series (1 : 1/2 ton)
7.  Truck Body Type (8 : Jimmy/Tracker)
8.  Engine type & make (U : 1.6 L4 TBI, Suzuki)
9.  check digit
10.  Model year (S : 95)
11.  Assembly plant code (6 : Ingersoll, Ont.)
12.  plant sequential number (900001)

I have a '92 Kick that doesn't seem to correspond to these so I believe the Suzukis use different codes.   ???Hope this makes some sense!
