I PULLED OVER, CHECKED THE OIL, AND IT WAS BONE DRY. I FILLED UP THE OIL, AND PROCEEDED HOME. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO WORK. WHEN LEAVING WORK, I ENTERED A GAS STATION, AND THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN.

I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL ISUZU DEALER, AND ASKED THEM WHAT THEY PLAN ON DOING ABOUT THIS. AFTER INVESTIGATION, THEY TOLD ME THE WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT MAY 2005. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED DECEMBER…
