Update on the LittleBeast, not good news.

That sucks Ryan. I hope they stand behind their work and make it right.

Ryan,

I can sympatize. Hope situation starts improving for the both of us.

So, I think the shop is going to do most of the re-rebuild no charge. I went ahead and purchased a new water pump from Isuzu, so I know they will put that in for me, but I am trying to have them put new bushings on the front differential to frame mounts while the engine is out, much easier to replace this way then dropping the front diff.

Glad to hear they are doing you right!

Goodwill is good advertising.

But...but...but....How are you going to change the title of this thread!

Alright so shop says LittleBeast might be ready for pickup sometime tomorrow. We will see. They installed a new waterpump I bought from Merlin (just under $180) and a new thermostat, and they pulled the engine and resurfaced heads. Once I pick it up I think I am going to take it to my mechanic and have him install new front wheel bearings and replace front diff mount bushings so I feel like at least something got done other than getting me back to square one.

As *I* always say when I step outta the massage parlor - "I LOVE a happy ending!"

Kinda sounds like someone forgot to torque the head bolts properly if at all.

[Maddawg]

Nope, I think you're right on. They screwed up.

I know they should make it right and maybe try calling the local news channel or news paper to get involved. But worse case, don't sell it. Get a 3.2 and drop in it
