I happen to know! Chris Perosi is no-questions asked the #1 Isuzu Expert in the country. Took me on my first trip to the Pine Barrens of NJ. Great guy who I've called at 3am while stuck in the barrens to give me directions and/or advice on towing out stuck vehicles etc. -mike |

I noticed a drop or two around the drain plug in the pan the other day. I wiped it down and 3 days later it is starting to get a little wet again. Not a big deal, but I am a little concerned that I took it out for a huge road trip/family vacation a few weeks ago. I can't imagine too much leaked out since I was flushed and filled prior to vacation. I thought to check because I noticed the 2-3 upshift seemed to be getting delayed again while cold, slightly longer than after the flush. No other shifting issues so I am not in a huge rush, but will get it done in the next couple of weeks. Oh well, another trip to the shop. I need an oil change so I will just get it done then. |

Sbcooke, like you noted I doubt you lost much fluid but it is a very good idea to get it checked just to be sure. FYI the drain and fill plugs take a washer that has a rubber insert. When a plug is removed the rubber is easily damaged. Consequently, the washers should be replaced each time the plugs are removed. If you get your work done at an independent shop they will likely not take the time/spend the money to get these dealer only washers. The point being you should take the washers to the shop whenever the plugs are to be removed. If a dealer did the flush they should have used new washers and prevented the leak. |

Thanks...It is an ex-dealer. I hope they will have a rubber washer to use to fix the problem. I meant to post this in the maintenance section. It was before I had my daily dose of coffee. |

| you might want to call ahead to give them time to make sure they have the washers on site. | |

I use cooper hi-temp RTV on original washer and it no leak, but my original washer is all metal no rubber at all, it has teef inside. If you put original washer without RTV it will leak, if you put just regular washer it will leak also, AT pan has a curve around these plugs and washer doesn't sit right. I still not get it how it was no leak in the first place. |

I drained-filled my AT and never replaced the gasket, no leaks at all. Maybe the mud-pack keeps it sealed up  -mike |

I got a new rear hook from St. Charles about $45, 2 M10x50 bolts lock washers, etc from Sears for $5.00 and put it on. It was a fun truck project, however very short lived. I am happy with the outcome. |

| FYI - about 5 or so months ago Lund had cancelled production on the smoked hood protector (Troopers) which left the OME as the only option available. Last night I was bored, checking out J.C. Whitney's site and saw that they're back. I called today and the sales rep put me on hold while he called Lund, and they're in stock, ready to ship for $64.99 including shipping. For those who were looking for one. | |

They have replaced my hardware 2x for free, cause the rubber boots wore out that go in the hood to secure it. -mike |
