Thanks for any help.
Thanks,
If you decide to go after-market you can either go with a double DIN sized radio which should take up the room your current radio and changer take up. Or you can buy this

and use it to fill half the space.
My main objection to putting in an aftermarket radio is that most of them are UGLY and don't match the rest of the dash very well. Plus, I have yet to see an aftermarket radio that has the reception of an OEM radio, especially on AM.
Good Luck!

Thanks again

Pulling the fuse and hitting the eject button repeatedly just drains off whatever stored charge the capacitors in the changer may have. You could probably accomplish the same thing by leaving the fuse disconnected overnight.
As far as the single CD vs a changer, if you get a unit that does MP3's and you have a PC, you can put more music on a single 700 MB CD than six conventional CD's will hold. Plus you get artist, title, album info in the MP3 header which the player reads and displays. Like I said before, most of the aftermarket units have a lot of flashing lights and bright colors which IMO don't really blend in with the Rodeo's interior. I guess it's a matter of individual choice.

Anyhow, with soaring gas prices, thought I would try and trade this thing in for something more fuel efficient. The most I was offered was $12k, and I paid $21k for it, and the sticker was almost $28k. If you buy this car, plan on keeping it for a very long time. In my opinion, pay the extra money and get the Pilot or 4Runner.

PS - My truck is a 2000 LS with about 61,000 miles, and it has been great. Gas mileage isn't too good (approx. 15-16 city and 18-19) highway, but I knew that when I bought it, so I don't consider that a true negative.
-mike
Good luck.
So I figured I'd look and see if there was anyone else and...first page. Great. My Rodeo is an '01 LS with just under 36k on it. I think the CD changer was replaced at 15k or so. What I don't know is how long a replaced part is covered for. Anyone? I'm going to call Isuzu today or tomorrow. My hopes are not high though as the vehicle is now 39 months old and out of the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Its possible that I can get a 'courtesy' fix since it close to warranty coverage and is the second unit.
We'll see I guess.
As far as Isuzu coming up with something for you, I have not had great success with them in the past and it seems that now, with the dealer network shrinking, well, you know where I am going. I just purchased my Isuzu coming off lease as I was way over on the mileage. I am sorry to say that I am probably going to look to sell it right away as I dont have a great feeling for the future of the product in the States and the resale isnt going down. Good luck with the CD changer
As far as the radio, I think I will be told to pound sand. The dealer said regardless of replacement date that my cd-changer is only covered for the original 3yr-50k period. It appears that they replaced the known bad radio with another known bad radio (read: not a 'fixed' or different setup). Great. Tiem to probably go aftermarket. And hey, that unit might make a nice piece for the garage stereo! Still, its a joke IMO.

A quick check using getauto revealed a green '97 LS 4wd auto w/ 62k in Orchard Park.
Thanks A LOT

If this is all the time, then perhaps there is a problem with the truck going into overdrive or your highest gear? If I keep my truck in "3" as opposed to "D" I experience the same thing too. Maybe there is a shifting problem? Can you count the upshifts and verify that you are getting to the highest gear?

I have an opportunity to sell my '95 Isuzu Rodeo for the same price my friend will sell me his '96 Jeep Cherokee. Should I do it? (details below)
'95 Isuzu Rodeo: 89k miles, in good condition, will need new tires soon, several minor things wrong.
'96 Jeep Grand Cherokee: 130k miles, in mint condition, no problems.
You see my dilemma. The Jeep has many more miles (all highway), but is in much better shape than the Rodeo. Which one would you keep?
Thanks,
Jim
One more problem that I wanted to ask everybody is that starting about a month ago the CE light would go off when I fall below empty on the gauge. I know I have plenty of gas in the tank as, as I already mentioned, I can fit only about 15.5 gal. So, lack of gas shouldn't be the problem. The light goes away after I fill up and drive for about 30 min to an hour or so. Since it's not the first time i fall below empty, that kinda bothers me. The truck has 54K mi and I think it first started at about 51-52K mi (right after the end of manufacturer's warranty, of course). My only guess is that over the period of 3 years (it's '01), there's been a decent amount of water and other stuff accumulated on the bottom of the tank. However, with about 3 gal left it doesn't seem reasonable.
Anybody had the same problems or heard of anything like that?

Also, do I have to read it when the light is on or it remembers it and I can stop by any time to do that?
If that doesn't tell me anything, I'll try new cap. This one still feels pretty tight and clicks like new so I didn't think it was defective.
I am notnot sure if they can get the code when the light is out? If it goes out on its own it might still be in memory?
Mine has come on twice in the last 2 months, the first time I went to autozone and they guy said it could be from anything (a bit of dirt/leaf bit being sucked into the engine, loose gas cap?), my air filter was a little dirty so I replaced it at the time. It came on again a few weeks later and I unplugged the battery for 10 minutes to clear it and it didn't come back.
Big scam if you ask me...for the most part you get a CEL, go to the dealer, spend $50 bucks, get told "eh, probably nothing, but we maybe we should change your oil, filters, etc" and then are out another 30 bucks. I would stick with having the free autozone check and only get something done if the performance/mileage drops off.
I'll call Autozone and ask them what they think about it. Also, I migt try to replace the cap and wait till the gauge shows empty again...
In addition, when is the 2005 available to the market (August)? A sales man told in somewhere in October to November. I don't believe him.
Finally, do you think that Isuzu can offer better than the $6500 that is being offer at this point as they approach closer to 2005 model coming into the market?
It all depends how quickly the 04s sell out before the 05s will be released from the storage facilities.

Rodeo production stops July 23rd.
There will ONLY be the Ascender 5 & 7 passenger until the 2007 model year. In 2007 Isuzu plans to be completely free of GM and bring a new, completely ISUZU vehicle to the US.
$6500 is as low as I've ever seen it (remember that $1K of that is the loyalty rebate). Start with invoice minus the rebate - that's an excellent price and you should get a nice Rodeo while there are still trucks to choose from.
BTW, dumbass salesmen at Horton Atlanta told me that 2003 Troopers were stuck at seaports so I needed to buy my 2002 ASAP and for something close to the MSRP I think. I bought my new 2002 LS at 10K off the MSRP the same day at another dealership and we all knew these were the last Troopers off the boat... Those stupid bastards went under the same year and my Trooper is the best vehicle I've ever had.
