Don't get me wrong, Ilove the monroes. I just want to see how much better the rancho shocks are.
I called A-1 shocks and he said they didn't have any for the 98's and up, just the 97. Is this true or are there any other years that would fit my 2002.
FYI 98-2002 are all the same.
can anyone help or am I out of luck on the rancho's?
thanks
Part numbers and how to install above^

have been selling those exact shocks for years. Hope I didn't shock you with this info

Shock Specifications show the different codes for mounting bushings and sleeves. 2001 Catalog Specifications, parts 1 & 2 lists the different shocks by part number, upper and lower mounts, lengths, etc.
You could even go to their web site and submit a question about your application.

Hum.... Also checked at shockwarehouse. Their application guide lists different shocks 2000 & 1997 Rodeos. Not sure what the difference is since I can't find the specs on-line for Monroe.
'98-02 are the same though.

Normally I would get the standard boots, and take the time to do the job right, but accoring to my manual there are flanges that are a press fit on the inner end of the driveshaft, that must be removed to take off the inner joint because the outer joint is non seviceable. What a complete pain in the ***.
For anyone that is interested, I found my torn CV boot last weekend while I was changing the clutch. That job wasn't any fun either, but considering the shop wanted $550 for the labor I think it was time well spent.
To order Isuzu service or owner's manuals:

Hope this helps.
I bought my 2001 Rodeo from McKinzey-Bond (Southwest Houston) in March 2001. I have had the vehicle in for service only once since then for the 15K service and a check engine light (loose gas cap). My service advisor, Sean, was very courteous and helpful.
Where did you have your Rodeo serviced?

Also wanted to know if anyone else is hearing a rattle when accelerating? My Passport has been making this tinny rattle for months. Brought it to two dealers and they checked and said they think it is a baffle in the muffler. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
-mike
The rattle is either the muffler or heat shield. Somewhat common problem as far as I know.
-mike
Anyone know if Isuzu is planning to stay in business or what?
What's the deal?
Thanks,

I called Honda and they can special order one for Passport, but if it doesn't fit, I'll get stuck with it as it would be a special order - read: not refundable. They said the same item would fit 2000 and 2001 Passport, but I want to be sure it would fit Rodeo as well. Any suggestions? Does anybody knows where to get one? I am thinking about going to Honda dealership and ask somebody to get it out of a used one on their lot to try it out, but I'd rather get an Isuzu one... Local junk yards don't have anything. They basically laugh at me when I say that I need a part for a 2 years old car.
www.alldata.com has a TSB on it. Also do a google search on 99 rodeo abs and you will find the masses of folks with the same problem.

I called them up. They only have grey. So far I was only able to locate one dealer who acknowledged the existance of that part in beige. I think I'll call that dealer (they actually the ones who got it backordered for me) and try to get the part number. My guess, though, is that whoever else I call is going to say that they have to order it and then call me back saying it was back ordered.
But I realise that there is probably some sort of receiver unit that I would have to buy and install. The question is:
Could it be considered a DIY job, or am I better off letting a dealer handle it ??
any suggestions appreciated
best, Mike J.

I already have the facotory installed "Premium" tape player/radio with a CD button on it, so I'm hoping I can add a CD player fairly easily. Hopefully I can install it in the "accessory pocket", and connect to either the round connector jack on the back of the radio, or the rectangular wiring harness plugged into the back of the factory radio...
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
THANKS
Mike
