Trouble again...

[circmand]

I know that the axle shop that worked my CV joints was very appreciative of the boot install instructions we have here. He said it saved him significant time & hence me $$$$.'

The alignment shop that I took it to though wasn't interested in the spec sheet at all.

of leaving them helpful info w/o ticking them off (yes sometimes I worry about poing them) is I bring it in and say hey I was going to do this myself and printed out these directions. It looked difficult so I decided to leave it to the experts. Here you go if you want them.

Good luck getting your VX in perfect working condition. I'm glad you are being taken care of rather than being taken for a ride!

Glad to hear there are reputable dealer out there willing to take responsibility. In this case it would probably have been in their best interest to simply refund the money, but the stood behind the sale.

[Exclamation]

Yes I am very thankful for what they are doing for me I hope it all works out in the end

Hi, i had a problem with my 99 ironman that was kinda similar to yours. after changing the fluid of tranny and tcase in an express lube i saw leaks all over the pan and mode switch cover, i kept driving it for a couple of days then all of a sudden started kicking while shifting 2nd to 3rd. took it back to express lube, they said they topped it off and change the gasket. it was still leaking from the shift selector shaft(mode switch attached to one end and the other end goes inside the main case to the side of valve body connecting to an arm piston thing), they replace its gasket with the one i bought from local isuzu parts. next day was kinda warm day that i drove it for almost 3 hours in the city, sitting there waiting for green light pressed the gas pedal, nothing , like its in neutral, no froward in any gear. pressed the winter mode and started going forward. ok third gear engages(winter mode), truck moves forward and speeds up, but nothing in normal drive mode. i called the express lube and told them that they are bunch of retarded and stuff like that. i decided not to let any body touch my truck but me. so started doing a lot researches and readings, went through many connections to start, making sure there is no electrical involved. dropped the pan, dropped the valve body(someone had some work done on it or better say he screwed it up) the valve body was over torque tightened, checked the brake band solenoid by a digital multimeter, it was like 0.9 ohm over specified, that was another possibility. made a piston compressor at my work(i work as welder) to compress the servo piston after uncovering it. the piston looked good, the rod wasn't in the right position the wrong end was looking up. anyhow put the servo piston back and adjust it to specified torque(4.5 Nm. not sure at the moment) changed the gaskets with ones i got from local isuzu parts. after searching hours i found a website to buy a single brake band solenoid for 40$ plus shipping. checked the resistance of the new solenoid it sure was lower than the stock one.so i put the new solenoid in there put new gaskets new drain and filler plugs, filled it out with dexron III, followed the fluid change procedure, while moving the lever through all positions i felt the lock up as soon i put it in drive and 3,2,L. and i have done all this in our appartment parking lot(kids playing around people passing by. that sux man). called my girlfriend to get dawn and hop in, and that was it, no problem anymore.

Well I was following you until you got to the brake band part (lets say im not very mechanically inclined, basically I know how to replace light bulbs and put gas in the car and air in the tires thats it.)

[mantis]

I am not very mechanically inclined either, thanks to this website and the nice members of it, you can just download the workshop manual for isuzu models from 99 to 02 which includes our VX. just search: " workshop manual". i believe you need to have like 150MB storage available in your computer or an external memory storage to download it. there's pretty much all you need to get the job done.
cheers.

So if anyone here has a transfer case for sale with less than 80k miles or so on it please send me a PM! I just want my vcross back! its been 75 days now!
