ThatÆs right! Well actually my dream became a reality when I bought my dream car (truck) my 92 amigo. But now I wanted more power, so I just bought a 2001 rodeo sport from a salvage pool. IÆm going to swap the engine from rodeo sport into my 92 amigo, itÆs going to be my weekend project. If you are curious about the rodeo is a 2001 3.2 V6 with less then 30,000 mi on the motor and a 5 speed 4WD.
Some of you my think why not fix it instead! Well tooo much body damage !!!!!!! On the front, rear, left side, right side, and roof. It got rolled over, that means that thereÆs not a single part of the truck without a dent. Well except the hood, that is in good shape.
So the good news is that IÆm going to use everything I need and most of the engine is in good shape, it also turns. And I have a couple friends helping me with a lot more knowledge on cars then me
Bad news:
Wont start, I notice an oil leak, turns out that the front tire on the passenger side got most of the impact, brook an axel and the axel hit and bended the oil pan <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> We took the oil pan out to inspect all the damage. Well, turns out that the crankcase was broken too! I went to the Isuzu dealer and they want $660.80 for it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />
I call the wrecking yard in California (Isuzu auto recycling) they want $195 for both (oil pan and crankcase) with shipping included <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
I will need some suggestions to get the engine to start. So far the starter fuse was burned we changed it but tried again but nothing happened we check all the fusses and all of them look OK. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Looks like the motor is not getting any gas. Gas thank is half full. Also no spark. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
IÆll get some pics of it soon.
Thanks
