I know how frustrating it can be getting parts.  I started to have a REAL hard time gettin gparts for my 90 Trooper.  The local dealer(which incedently I bought my Tracker from) dropped Isuzu's.  Even after market stuff was getting near imposible up where I live, I had to get an exhaust (stock) form 2 diffrent places bacause they simply just didn't carry the whole thing.  Hope you change your mind though, I don't think you'll be sorry, you'll probably be glad in the end.  Take care,  Dave ;D

Possible salvation latest news.

I spoke to the "regular" service writer at my former dealer.  He put me on to Hansen AUto, close to where I live.  He told me that they (my former dealer) will NOT do warranty work as they no longer legally sell zukes.

I called down there to Hansen Auto and got a person on the line who told me they have the ball rolling to pick up the zuke franchise, selling and servicing zukes.
He told me they will be in a position to honor the warranty on my rig.    2-3 weeks is the timeframe.
I asked about the equipment to read zuke codes, parts, etc.  I was assured all that would be in place.
Funny thing is, this place right now is a used car lot so I don't have a clue as to where they are going to stack new zukes to sell.  Nor do I know if they are going to get the vehicles from my old dealer or what.  
The guy did disclose one thing.  He is under the impression that Zuke dropped the dealer, not the other way around as I was intially told.  Reason being is that the dealer did not promote zukes aggressviely enough.  He told me zuke is being very aggressive about promoting these rigs and I guess that follows as my former dealer had a piddly sign over one door and that was it.  If you did not look in the yellow pages, then you'd never know about them carrying zukes.
This dealer obvioiusly has other fish to fry selling HOndas and NIssans.  So zuke was the bastard child and when push came to shove, it was goodbye zuke.

I have prayed to the gods of Hamamatsu for guidance on this.  They have told me to be patient and that I would not be left behind.  The Council of 7 in Hamamatsu is meeting later this month and they will reveal to me their final plans.  I am eagerly awaiting the results.  I hope so, sitting cross legged on the ashphalt in front of my rig was getting umcomfortable.

Hopefully this Hansen Auto gets it going on and can sell and service zukes.  If so, then I will keep my rig and be back here in true form giving hagen a hard time about air time etc.

The Zuke is on its way out.  Getting a vehicle that will behave and be supported by the dealer.

That's good news so far! I'm happy.  :)

Damn, man! If I were a Suzuki dealer, everyone on the Eastern Seaboard would know who I am. >:(
