Torque binding when turning a sharp corner

[nocturnalVX]

I have had this issue since having my transfer case rebuilt... Looks like I have to bring the VehiCROSS back in.

they (and isuzu) said it has different gearing from any other vehicle and tod will not work properly buy you ar correct "they" would say that - either way its a pita

im pretty sure the guy from borg werner was just helping me because he wanted to know for himself and hadnt thought about a vehicross for a while - he was very helpful - isuzu, however, apparently only employs about 15 people total in the u.s. anymore and none of them seemed to happy about answering the phones

Hello everyone,
I'm the original owner of my 1999 VX. I have enjoyed driving her off road, inclement weather, all surfaces, and she's performed admirably in every situation. But now due to age I suspect, despite careful maintenance, she's beginning to have some problems and it is only now I'm discovering how rare she is, and how advanced technologically she was for her time. May I ask if anyone has experienced sensor difficulties, that is she's trying to go into four wheel high when not required. Her torque on-demand system is not functioning appropriately and after much head scratching and computer code reading, my mechanics are suggesting sensor replacements --not only a throttle sensor but another slip/speed sensor is well. They say if I simply disconnect the four-wheel-drive capability, I will also lose ABS braking which sounds unsavory. Has anyone had to replace the sensors and if so what is been your experience? Thank you so much for your time.

First things I would check are tire air pressure and tire wear. If the front or rear are off by even the smallest amount the TOD will act up.
If that don't work you may want to start a new thread since your subject is different from this one and it will end up getting overlooked and buried. Also the search function will yield you many threads to peruse through on the subject.

It took a lot to get my VX working 100%, but it was worth it. I am not exactly certain what all went into the transfer case rebuild, but I do know they ended up replacing the speed sensors (and wiring harness/pigtails/whatever) to make the VX stop sending power up front unnecessarily. Now, my VehiCROSS can do U turns again!

Yes, new thread would be best. FYI, we have the same guts as a 99-2001 Trooper 2. So our engine and drive train is not as rare as the dealers and repair shops make it out to be. There is some debate on that subject too, but a used 2002 Trooper 2 transfer case fixed my torque-binding issue. ($550 and it included all sensors)

Cool. Thanks very much, will investigate all recommendations above. If no success, will start new thread (sorry, learning a whole lot about my VX now, was blithely ignorant before-- only minor problems for the first 15 years! Sigh. )
