Engine failure poll?

[Joe_Black]

The 2002 axiom's engine is a good way to go,you'll need ECM software upgrade & new wiring beside few other stuff

Okay, wait a minute, first you condemn the 6VE1 then you recommend the 6VE1?

You got to remember that the 2002 engine was redesigned,it's a better engine though,at least has more power & no oil burning issues.

So by comparison i'll recommend the new 6VEI

That would be the 2004 Direct Injection engine, the only difference with the '02 mill is throttle-by-wire. As a matter of fact the Direct Injection engine is still the much-maligned 6VE1 with a different intake and heads. Also of interest is that the 6VE1 is still in production and one of Isuzu's best selling gasoline engines. Of course just the one's used in the VehiCROSS are crap, since they must have all been built on the 13th of each new-moon calendar month after the factory's fertility festival binge-drinking contest.

Okay, okay... I, Joe Black, promise the never look at this thread again. I also promise to restrain myself, to the best of my individual ability, from commenting on threads or posts purporting the supposed infirmity of the 6VE1. Really. Cross my wrenches and all that rot.

Amen !

I'm not happy to read about all of these engine problems. I've owned rare vehicles before, and you expect window issues, quirks here and there, but I agree, a modern motor shouldn't be having an oil flow design flaw.

I'm in for figuring out which motor is best to replace ours with. Does anyone have a list of all that is needed to swap in the 2004 Axiom engine (which are becoming more rare as we discuss this issue).

Using about one minute of my time, & the search function, I found this...
