    I thought of the alignment issue too. I had it realigned at Firestone. I bought one of those lifetime alignments years ago. I would highly recomend it if you have not already done so.

    The service tech showed me the U-Joint while it was jacked up. He showed me how easliey it moved when he grabbed it. A few hours later, I went back and he showed me what it looked like after he pulled it out. The bearings were cracked and some were turned to dust.

    I'm getting some other regular maintainece done, so i should have it back this afternoon. I'll let you know if that solved the problem or not.

    Peace.

    I just got off the phone with the dealer. They told me ALL problems are solved, and I can come pick her up. I won't get off work for another two and a half hours, but we will soon see if she is running as perfect as she has been.

    I'll let yall know.

    Peace.

    Just got back from the dealer, and man, what a difference. I've always had a S M O O T H ride with my VX , but now it's smoother than our Prius!

    Anyone in the DFW area, I would highly recommend Fazeli Isuzu Imports.

    Peace.

    P.S.
    Ryan, you've been doing so much to LitteBeast lately. You gotta show her off. You need to find a way get your VX to Moab and meet us in Moab if it's only for a day. Here's what you do. Have someone who is riding shotgun from Texas drive your VX to Moab. After you finish your meet in Salt Lake City, meet LittleBeast and us in Moab.
