1982 Isuzu Imark 4 Door Sedan 1.8 Diesel on 2040-cars
Year:1982
Mileage:198000

I am ready to part with this zippy little car. Its been parked for a
while and I cant find the time to get it back on the road so I am
needing to let it go and move onto other things.
It starts (sometimes immediately, sometimes after a bit of cranking) and runs great. 198,xxx on the motor. The transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. This car was actually fairly zippy when it was on the road. The rear end or something at the rear of the car is making a terrible sound again (I replaced the entire rear axle last summer) and I just cant get the time to look for parts for this thing anymore. The brakes are soft, Ive bled the system a few times now and replaced a leaking break cylinder, may just need a more thorough bleeding then I can do alone. Electrically, its kind of a mess. The gauges go back and forth from working to not, the temp gauge shoots right up as son as the thing starts. Heater core leaking, heater motor works but wiring is not functional. Someone before me hacked the thing and had it wired on a toggle switch, but this is no longer connected. Trunk is rotting, probably leaking around the gasket. Its the kind of thing that could be fixed in an after noon with some fiberglass mesh and marine grade liquid epoxy stuff. Add it to the list of things I never got around to. Body is pretty solid, some surface rust in spots (like the hood, and doors), nothing rotten through yet, undercarriage is almost like new. Front driver side fender is damaged, dented before I bought it. Whoever did it was able to hammer it back out, but its not perfect... The grill is falling apart from 30+ years of weather, I have an extra thats in better shape but needs some epoxy... NEW: battery, new front shocks, new tires (probably 5k on them) new tie rod (not sure which side anymore, have receipts) Comes with a BUNCH of extra parts : starter, 2 alternators (one bad, possibly repairable), injection pump, injectors, front and rear windshield, grill (which I was going to repair, but could easily be done and look way better then the one that's on there), a myriad of lights, light covers, 2 fuel doors (hinges busted), dash parts, incomplete instrument console (tach missing) While these things can be hard to find parts for, Ive seen these engines in a number of different vehicles (short bed isuzus, mazdas, etc), and this one would make a good transplant candidate, paired with the transmission. If you have a parts car, or can find a rear end for this car, you should be able to get many more years out of it. If nothing else, this car (and all its extra parts) could be parted out for probably double the buy it now price, I don't have time for that. Maybe you do?!? |

GM recalls over 230,000 more Trailblazer-family SUVs over door electronics
Sun, 16 Jun 2013Back in August, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a recall on the General Motors GMT360 SUVs (Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X) ranging from the 2005 to 2007 model years and the 2006 GMT370 SUVs (Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL) due to potential fires associated with the driver's door module. Initially limited to 250,000 units sold or registered in 20 Snow Belt states (and the District of Columbia), the recall has now been expanded to include an additional 193,000 of these SUVs in the US and, according to The Detroit News, 40,000 more sold outside the US, including Canada and Mexico.
Like the original recall, the issue is still a faulty driver's door module that can short out, which could lead to a fire. The Detroit News is reporting that, out of the 443,000 units being recalled, GM says that there were 58 fires that caused 11 minor injuries, and the expanded recall accounted for six fires and one injury. Despite the lower number of fires, the recall notice recommends that owners park their vehicles until the recall repairs has been performed.
On recalled units with functional modules, the repair consists of a protective coating being applied to the module, while vehicles with modules that are not working properly will have the driver's door module replaced. The official recall notice is posted below, and it includes contact information for customers of all five brands.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Mazda and Isuzu to collaborate on a new pickup truck
Mon, Jul 11 2016After decades, Mazda has finally untangled itself from its relationship with Ford. The last vestige of that partnership is the BT-50, a rebadged version of the global Ford Ranger pickup truck. Once the BT-50 ends production, Mazda has announced that it will collaborate with Isuzu to develop its next generation of pickup trucks. The BT-50 was co-developed with Ford's Australian division. In their current iteration, the BT-50 and its Ranger twin were never on sale in the United States. Mazda's last pickup in the US was the B-Series, itself also a rebadged version of the old Ford Ranger. Isuzu pulled out of the US passenger vehicle market in 2009, although it still sells commercial vehicles here. Isuzu, continuing a long and complicated relationship with General Motors, co-developed the diesel engine that currently powers the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. In select markets, Isuzu sells a rebadged version of the Colorado as the D-Max. Details on the Mazda/Isuzu tie-up are scarce. A single press release simply says "Isuzu will produce next-generation pickup trucks for Mazda, based on Isuzu's pick-up truck model." This isn't the first truck collaboration between the two companies. Since 2004, Mazda has sold the Titan, a rebadged version of the Isuzu Elf commercial truck. The Elf is sold in the US as the Isuzu N-Series. Those in the US hoping for a new competitor in the midsize-truck segment shouldn't get their hopes up for the new truck. There are currently no plans to bring them here. There is hope, though, that Ford will bring the Ranger replacement stateside sometime in the next few years.
