    Hopefully the crane company is making things right in your financial department!

    Shouldn't the crane company be paying for the damage? Or is your insurer going to at least pursue the companies insurer? Or do you live in one of those no fault states?

    It seems like it's not just parts. I was in Saint Louis, MO over the weekend staying in the Chesterfield area. I happened to drive by Bommorito Isuzu on Manchester, so I decided to cruise the lot to check out Isuzu's latest offerings. Funny thing was, I couldn't even find anything on the lot with an Isuzu badge! Did they just forget to take the sign down out front?

    what was that story with Isuzu and GM... when they went separate ways Isuzu had to pull out of the market for several years before they can come back with new models ???

    neah... I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.... Ive been driving stick, rear wheel drive, on icy Russian roards since '80s... so I know what I am doing. But sometimes the circumstances are above and beyond my control... I am sure all of us have been there too...

    Well, good news kinda... new tranny filter was installed, new gasket, new pan. Hole in T case was patched and filled. Mechanic drove it and said tranny is shifting fine. Now not good - car is missaligned, breaks are acting strange and tiny noise comes from the front. I will go there tommorow and drive it myself to get the feeling.

    Drove it today... so far so good. Tranny is shifting very smooth, breaks good, need alignment - it does not pull just the steering wheel is a bit off.

    ........

    I am sure other Trooper Crossmembers may work..unless VX is wider.

    Best bet is if any one not wanting their Calmini 3" lift Crossmember included in the kit...as it is not needed for the lift.

    My ins. company takes care of that but then they will be reimbursed from the crane company. In MA it is faster to go against your company vs. going after other party company... go figure....

    Arrow

    Found crossmember at allhundaisuzuparts.... should be here tomorrow. everything is installed and operational. Here comes the problem - when 4 LO is engaged - car makes "crunching " noise from the front ??? When turning wheels in 4 LO noise is louder ! When in normal drive no noise at all. Anybody had something like that ?

    Thanks

    Arrow

    Are you on a high traction surface such as concrete or asphalt when this happens? It's normal for any vehicle in 4-lo to "crab" when when the wheels are turned & hooked up.
    Try the same turn in 4-lo on a low traction surface such as gravel or dirt & see if the same thing happens, or the symtoms are reduced.
    Or, CV ???
