Is this compatible and worth it?

[Marlin]

I just came across this, should I run and get it? Pretty sure it fits?

Wasn't the axiom Direct injection at one point or something? Not sure if that'd make any difference but something to look into more and consider. I guess if ya got the money might as well pick it up and you could always resell it or even trade for one that does fit down the road.

2002 is just fine - iamironman put a 2002 in his VX, and Axiom's didn't get DI until 2004.

Gonna call tomorrow and go get it, the sensors alone should be worth that much. Try for $75

Worst that could happen is it don't work and you put it up for resale to an Axiom owner (on the Planet).

It will be mine tomorrow and I will clean it up. Never know when the VX is gonna puke something up. I will also have an extra tranny soon, my VX comes out of the shop sometime next week, and I get to keep the original tranny, no core turn in. So I can have it rebuilt at my leisure as needed.

Better yet, rebuild it yourself and learn to do it...if you mess up, what are you out?

I ended up paying about $50 for mine (came from a slightly earlier model Trooper - a 3.2 I think - so I couldn't use it - the opening for the intake is smaller) - that one should be fine though. You're basically buying a used MAF and getting the extra fuel rail, 6 injectors and FPR for free (price an injector and you'll see you're doing well) - not to mention the extra manifold itself...

That is possible, but the rebuild kit is not free, and if I need a tranny and I screw this one up, now I need to buy a new one again, as well as the labor for install and removal.

That is what I was thinking, I will let you guys know when I pick it up, the lister hasn't responded as of yet. I asked if he had any other parts off the axiom. It would be nice to get some other stuff, starter, AC compressor (I think is the same as the trooper, so I know how to work that out), alternator and so on.
