What a lame excuse! "It appears you have been driving this moon buggy on earth... we found mud... yes MUD!" So what!? Are you not allowed to drive down muddy roads? What if you have acreage in Florida are you not going to have mud there? Sorry man, I am prob'ly just fueling the fire. GOOD LUCK!

The problem with warrenty compainies seems systemic.
I once was told that a high pressure line (hard tubing) would not be covered because it was a hose.
Another time they wouldn't repair play in the steering because it was a drive train issue (different warrenty).
Oh well, hope you get better resolution than I did.
they are all crooks. there is no extended warrenty that is worth a @#$%.Quote:

The other thing I learned was never - ever get clear coat. It keeps you from protecting against UV destruction of your paint (also can't rub out scratches). IMHO - others may have had better luck with it.
does anyone know where i can get a decent motor for the vx. also there is a number asociated with the 3.5 what is that?
not sure what you mean by number... 6VE1 is the only one that comes to mind.. the engine block number or code or whatever.. don't forget they are the same in troopers and pre-2004 axioms
yea thats what i meant thanks
does that 2004axiom mota bolt up?
yea but it wont interface with our computer since its Direct Injection... you would need to swap the whole drivetrain (i think its got TOD too... so not a terrible option)
yea dont think the courts will make the warrenty company pay for that. nice thought though!!
ttt looking for a mota
Well,my toy has the same diesel knocking noise tough.
I don't know if that will be a problem in the near future,but i'll be taking steps towards that issue.
Next weekend i'll have my mech check the whole truck to find any hidding or potencial problems.
My odor reading is 40.800 as i write this replay & since i purchase the VX i have add 2,789 miles. Most of them to back & forth to the dealer
Thankfully my job site is only six miles away so adding excesive miles isn't an issue for me.
I'll have the engine flushed out I add syntetic mobil 1 oil as how many of you guys are recommended.
Take care guys !
gussie.. try a search for EGR nut... they have been known to come loose to cause that diesel sound
found this site.. dont know if anyones tried it or not... www.gotengines.com
i think i found a motor for it im gonna talk to the shop today. the guy said all of their motas have a 5 year 100000 mi warrenty, but, we all know how that goes. for 4500 installed.
www.car-part.com for used motors.
well they picked up my truck today and it should be done in a week or so.. brand new rebuild with 100,000mile warrenty:dance:
Thanks buddy i'll have that research done with the mech this saturday morningQuote:

they said i would get my truck back mon or tues. i cant wait to park this big ugly van!!!
I just purchased a motor from Engines Direct a few months back for around the same price. It died on me with 4k on the clock. Had rod knock. They provided a new motor and hopefully I will get $600.00 back for labor. They only pay $50 an hour up to $600. I wish I had read the fine print. Anyway I got the call two days ago that I can pick mine up anytime. It will be the weekend before I can get a ride to get it but I'm excited regardless. I hope we both have better luck this time around.
Good Luck,
Mrcln1:)
yea i told the guys at the shop what has been goin down. they will cover everything if something breaks.
Im happy your gettin back your truck..hope you dont have any more trouble with it.
:jump::_group2::group::_beer::clap:guess what.......
i got a call from said warrenty company today........
not only are they gonna cover the new mota but they are also gonna give me a full refund.
but i wont have any coverage ............
thats ok because the mota company is putting a 100,000 mi warrenty on it!!!!!!!
Congrats...glad to hear you'll be back on the road soon!:thumbup:

There you go my Florida brother!
Well...summer's over along the fun it comes with,also my 1st summer with my new toy.However i bought my VX with a tapping caused by the lifters/valves train,even though the VX has this issue he behaved as a champion & never give up on me so as promised i'll show him my gratitud by taking him to the mech's shop to take care of this weekend.I spoke with merlin (St charles isuzu) for parts needed to have the job done & fortunatly he got it all in stock,labor estimation along with parts description were faxed to my warranty company (Guardian Warranty) so my VX will be at the ER from this weekend awaiting autorization.According to the doctor the patient shall be ready to roll the streets in no more then 2 weeks when all parts & replacements has being delivered.The mech will also check pistons,cylinders,O rings and rest of related parts because he knows about the oil burn on must 3.5L isuzu engines(former isuzu engine specialist) Now he owns the shop,also a former VXer.
Hey guys, long time no Chat. My VX just got Knocked Up this past weekend. I don't know what to do, I'm closing down my Business due to high overhead not enough customers, no longer under warranty, and Mechanical Breakdown coverage expired. What should I do?
Mercer! :grino:
Okay, does that mean the engine has been pronounced dead or is it emitting that death rattle or what?
Yeah Nita, I got the Death Rattle, its the Grown Man Knock, as if the Police knockin on my doorQuote:
