How does Isuzu drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Rodeo?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Rodeo can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Is it possible to reset the Rodeo malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Rodeo’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Rodeo serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Rodeo should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my Rodeo transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Rodeo. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

1997 Isuzu Rodeo Drivetrain Service

Your Rodeo’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Isuzu, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Rodeo’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1997 Isuzu Rodeo, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Isuzu's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Isuzu Rodeo Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1997 Isuzu Rodeo drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Isuzu Rodeo may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. A lot depends on your driving style and climate. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Isuzu Rodeo drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 1997 Isuzu Rodeo drivetrain? Some smaller differential fixes, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
