Beating on a VX.... Top ten things that would break?

[ZEUS]

deermagnet, could you post up one of those iso-schematics with the steering parts identified as well please? I'd like to see some of the terms they used for that stuff...

I don't got one. Ya might find something like that in the repair manual or at www.myisuzuparts.com.

hey Mark, where/what is that "driveHQ" ? Is that like a CD or disc or something with all that Isuzu/VX info & great diagrams? Can I get a copy?

[vt_maverick]

Drive HQ is the online cloud storage service I use for all my videos and most of my images. I also use another service to host my website and all my web pages and some of my images.

http://www.drivehq.com

Their service is phenomenal! It's so reliable and easy to use, and pretty cheap also.

The immense amount of Isuzu data and documents I have is all on my PC. When I post stuff like the suspension diagrams, it's just a screen capture from some Isuzu document I opened on my PC.

Seems like you'd want all that irreplaceable stuff in the cloud too.

That stuff is NOT going up in the cloud. Some of this info is so rare and of such a sensitive nature that I don't want any internet/computer gurus to have even a chance to access it.

But don't worry, it's safe. I know that anything on my PC could vanish in a heartbeat at any time. I have it all burned to CD's AND backed up with Norton, which is very secure. It's in an area on my PC that I believe is fully protected from outside intruders. That reminds me I should do another burn and back-up for anything I may have added recently.

Maybe I'm having a brain far+, OK...um..don't answer that... you know...but is your stuff the same as the shop manual we can download? Or what is it? I didn't know there was anything else available, or rare or sensitive..... It is something we can purchase somewhere or how can we get a copy? My local mechanic hadn't ever seen a VX up close, but so far hasn't had to repair anything, but it would put my mind to ease if I could get him some more data/info/specs, or whatever, in addition to the shop manual. Gee, while yer a burnin' CDs...could I put in a request ??

Sorry for the t/j

I worry about what will protect the data from being lost period if something happens (God forbid) to you or your home. In "the biz" we like to say that a backup in the same physical location as the master is no backup at all. I'm still baffled as to why it's so critical to you to keep this data hidden from the community, but if you're intent on doing so, wouldn't it at least make sense to send a copy of everything to someone else here that you trust (Moncha perhaps?) so there's at least some way to recover?

My, aren't we curious tonight?

I've posted the vast majority of what I have, whole documents or at least the most useful bits. The huge list of very useful Isuzu service bulletins posted here would not exist without me. Didn't I just give up some Isuzu electronic Christmas gifts? A couple of them had never been seen by anyone here before. I've posted a bunch of Isuzu videos here that the world has never seen online, or maybe would have never seen if not for one person with the knowledge and ability to collect and host and post that stuff. That person is me!

Hmmm.... that makes me feel pretty important.

Enough of this thread jack!

I'll have to start a post later this week organizing the stuff I have posted and some stuff that maybe has never been seen before. Oh, the suspense!

And please keep in mind, a lot of the stuff I post violates copyright laws!
