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

Junkyard Gem: 1990 Geo Storm GSi
Thu, Dec 6 2018General Motors created the Geo division in 1989, to sell rebadged Suzukis, Toyotas, and Isuzus in the United States. Most of these cars were snoresville econoboxes, but two Geo models got high-performance upgrades and GSi badging: the Prizm GSi (aka Toyota Corolla GT-S) and the Storm GSi (aka Isuzu Impulse). We saw a discarded Prizm GSi in this series last year, and now it's the Storm GSi's turn, with this '90 in a Phoenix self-service yard. The Storm GSi had a DOHC four-cylinder Isuzu engine making 130 horsepower, which was excellent for a 1990 car weighing a mere 2,392 pounds. The 2,174-pound 1990 Honda CRX Si had a mere 108 horsepower (and two seats), and it cost $11,130 versus the Storm GSi's just-slightly-higher $11,650 price tag. Of course, Isuzus never developed quite the reputation for reliability enjoyed by Hondas. This Isuzu notched up an impressive final mileage figure, though. The Storm sold for just the 1990 through 1993 model years, and the GSi still has a devoted following to this day. The interior is straight-up late-1980s-style Japanese-econobox stuff, with plenty of tough gray plastic. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

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.

Junkyard Gem: 2005 Isuzu Ascender
Sun, Mar 18 2018We know the GMT360 platform best as the basis for the Chevrolet Trailblazer and GMC Envoy, but there were four additional trucks in the GMT360 family: the 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, the 2004-2007 Buick Rainier, the 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X, and the 2003-2008 Isuzu Ascender. All these trucks were more or less the same, but the Isuzu is by far the rarest; I searched for a junkyard Ascender for months before I found this one in Arizona. Exact production figures are tough to find, and some will tell you that the Saab 9-7X is even more rare. In wrecking yards, though, I see SaaBlazers pretty regularly, but it has been like pulling teeth to find an Ascender. Perhaps the Saab name adds more value than the Isuzu name, when you're searching for a used SUV. Isuzu dealerships in the United States sold Ascenders until the fateful day in 2009 when the company packed up and left the country. Had the Daewoo brand stuck around in the United States past 2002, we might have seen a Daewoo-badged GMT360 as well. Ascenders were built in Ohio and Oklahoma. This one, photographed in Phoenix, came from the latter plant. Most of the GMT360s could be had with various flavors of V8 engines as optional equipment, but nearly all of these trucks came with the Vortec 4200 4.2-liter straight-six. My 1941 Plymouth project car is getting one of these engines. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
