Hi again,
I am AJ and I am new to VX family. Still waiting for an auto transport to pick up the VX so it's not official yet.
Anyways, I just want to know what are the frequently used spare parts I should have so that I don't have to scramble for them when I need them? Other than the usual brakes pads and tires?
List will be great! thanks again.
AJ
Probably the first thing you'll want to do is to check to see if the window brackets have been replaced with the metal one's available from SBC. Since he sold his VX, I'm not sure how much longer he'll be making them.
You can use the search function on "window fix" to find lotsa reading on the subject.
Keep a PCV valve (like $4) on hand and change everytime you do an oil change
& keep a shop towel handy to check your oil at every fueling.
KAT posted a list for people selling their VX that should give you some insight to the more common problems. If someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll post a link to it when I get a chance.
Yeah, I saw that list KAT wrote. I will go through it again and get an idea.Quote:

The dash is from a ~'95-'97 Rodeo, so ya can easily find those parts. Lots of the drivetrain, brakes, and suspension parts are shared with the Rodeo and Trooper, '98+.

That comes from an Isuzu dealer document, Intro to '99 Isuzu Vehicles. I posted it here for all to enjoy a while back.Quote:

I don't have an inside connection at a dealer or anything like that. I lifted it off the internet.
I have internet search skills like you wouldn't believe. :p
