Parts Are Dissapearing !

[Andrey]

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

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 ???

Thanks... I am on hardsurface... seems that VX never did this before the accident. I remember trying engaging 4wheel drive on dry asfalt before and it was a bit funny but no "grinding" noise and there is NO Isuzu dealership whom I trust in Boston area so I can go... all thay do - "We change the oil and it sure takes care of the problem !" or better "probably we need to put some more air in tires and it will cure the problem !"... or even BETTER ! "lets wash VX and it will take care of your problem GARANTEED!" oh, BTW your bill is $500 for doing all the above mentioned.....

Andrey -

Have you tried Peter's Nissan/Isuzu in Nashua N.H 03060?

They are located on Amherst Street.

From the Boston area, you're looking at about a 45 min. or so drive.

I've had good luck with them in the past. They even covered warranty work for me that I should not have received given the milage at the time and the fact that I am the second owner

They won't wash your VX or put air in the tires (unless you ask them to) but the work will be done and done right the first time around!

if your tcase and tranny got ripped up, I'm willing to bet your front diff might have taken some damage. I hate grinding noises :-/

thats what I am thinking too..... crossmember has arrived today and will be installed tomorrow but I have no idea what we are looking into when we open up the front diff.... again there is no noise in 4HI.... only in 4LO. Besides I've read horror stories on this forum how people were waiting for their diff. parts to arive 2 months or so VERY S A D !!!!!!!

Spoke with Merlin today and parts are trickling back in, especially the cladding pieces so there is some light at the end of the tunnel. I also got some parts that were thought to be non existant.

thanks... I've been there about one electrical problem - they are very good compared with Boston places - the only complaint that I had was they made me pay for repairs even though I had extended warranty covering it.
