I dont think the engine is a Isuzu designed engine, think it's all GM . They used it in the Ascender which I have .Black08TB said:I bought my 08' TB in July 09' w/30K and my plan is to keep it for another 5 years, it's got 90k on it and I figure it's got another 90k in it. It does everything I need it to do in stock form, so why mess with something that works? I'm curious, are you guys rebuilding your Inline 6's or getting a good long life out of them with general maintenance? Any major problems like blown head gaskets etc to keep an eye out for? I'm not terribly concerned just wondering what your experiences have been.
Also, I understand this engine was designed by Isuzu, is that correct? I know GM has been in bed with them for years but I didn't know they used their engines and rebadged them Vortec. Again, just wondering, waaaaay too late to change my mind about the purchase! LOL
Exactly what's happening to minevipergg said:2008 Ascender , right around 75000 miles. Just had the tranny fluid and filter and rear end gear oil changed today . Should be good till 150000 now. I have great hopes seeing how many miles some of you have . The body will probably rust out before the mechanicals crap out . Only a minor emissions issue so far . Still on the original brakes , never had a vehicle that went anywhere near as long on brakes, and they still feel pretty good at this point .
