How many miles do you have your Isuzu?

[barcisuzu]

Try changing the cam-sensor, worked for my 2000 4 cyl.

93,000 mi and it has never seen a repair even after it was stolen and had the front end wraped around an oak tree! very reliable love the V6 power, just wish I bought a 4WD.

Engine: 6 cyl
Mileage: 99858
Any major problems: I've only had it a few months and so far the only issue I've had is replacing the #@*&%# starter this afternoon and the serpetine belt. Other than having to add about a quart of oil every 500 miles or so, she's running like a champ!

Update on my two 1999 Rodeos.

Rodeo 1 1999 4cyl. 5spd. Hit a deer in July 06 rebuilt between July 06 and May 07 came back up to a rebuilt title. Now has 130,000 on it and is getting a new Head gasket and head pressure check as well as new piston rings and bearings.

Rodeo 2 1999 6cyl. 5spd. Spun #1 rod bearing so bad that I had to buy a new crank from autozone. had to buy new engine bearings from a place on the web out of LA because the crank was at .30 over standard size. New rings, one new rod, every wear part is getting replaced and if you have a 4x4 rodeo and the engine needs to come out the transmission is coming out as well so plan for expensive pulling if you dont do it yourself.

If you need parts for an Isuzu or for that matter other makes visit ricart.com and search for the parts on the parts page. They are 20% off the shelf dealership prices.

[FL 3.2L]

2008 update:

172,000 miles
V6 auto (original!) 4X2
Latest maintenance - power steering fluid swap.
Continuing with oil changes every 3K and tranny fluid swaps every 15K.
'07 saw some work:
Changed front brake pads
Broke/fixed the roof rack again this summer
Fixed 2 power windows (one regulator, glued glass mounting clips on the other)
Replaced the oil cooler o-ring
Changed the gear selector switch seal
Swapped the rear cam tower seals

It continues to be the daughter's daily at school and it did not strand her at all during the first semester. It took us from FL to New Hampshire and back this summer. Looks like it'll take 2 more years to get it to 200K.

2002 Rodeo
3.2V6 5spd 4x4
64,628
just got it yesterday, hopefully what a long strange trip it will be

[jskadberg@mac.com]

Here is the format to use:
Year: 95
Engine: V-6
Mileage: 144K
Any major problems Only one in past, starter solenoid contacts which I replaced by taking bolts from starter rotating it 90 degrees, opening it up and replacing contacts.

This week at the end of a 1700 mile trip I noticed a noise that sounds like a A/C compressor, but makes sound when A/C off. Noise is constant under load or no load and increases linear with engine speed. Engine does not miss, no loss of power and no blow by when you remove oil cap.

2001 3.2 L V6 4WD
77K miles
So far only basic maintenance issue but that may be about to change as I'm having idle/stalling issues.

[etmansfield]

Year: 2000 4WD
Engine: 6 cyl (I think? I dont even know) LS
Mileage: 175000
Any major problems:
* fuel gauge doesnt work at all
* check engine light always on
* interior lights go off when back gate wings open (annoying)
* transmission cold slip issues I'm trying to figure out.
* guzzles oil like crazy
* ABS lights been on 2 years

all that being said I love this truck, it suits my needs for a dog-friendly vehicle (the new VW EOS I bought is not dog-friendly) and want to roll with it until the wheels come off, but I'm afraid its going down a slippery slope right now.
