I recently picked up a 2003 Isuzu Ascender Limited V8. It's replacing my well beaten 2003 S10 Blazer. It’s really nice, fully loaded. From what I can see, the only option it DOESN’T have is the rear air lift system.
This will be a dual purpose vehicle. I operate a sound company in the NYC area and often carry speakers, amp racks, etc, small enough to not need to rent a truck. I’ll also be my daily driver.
It has 208,000 miles on it! But runs very good.
Things to fix:
-Cluster needs servo motors;
-AC system needs a mode servo;
-Driver’s door window switches & wiring is bad;
-Headlights REALLY sandblasted (replaced with new Envoy units)
-Knock, O2 & oil pressure sensors bad;
-Fan clutch is bad;
-All hoses;
-Ball joints, shocks, sway bar bushings & links are bad.
Other things I’ll be doing or done already:
-Spark plugs & GMS Zero Ohm wires;
-Derale transmission cooler pan;
-External plate style transmission cooler;
-Dif cover;
-Removed running boards (- 60 pounds)
-Removed third row seats & belts (-60 pounds)
-Remove rear AC/heating unit (- ? pounds)
