On certain medium duty conventional and tilt cab trucks equipped with 7.8L diesel engines and air brakes, the air compressor may not build enough air pressure to support the air brake system.
Risk and remedy
Risk
If this condition were to occur while the vehicle was stationary (brakes applied) the air brakes would remain applied and prevent the vehicle from moving. if this condition were to occur while the vehicle was in motion, the dual system air pressure gauges would register the drop in pressure. if the pressure continued to drop, the low air pressure warning buzzer and warning lamp would activate as designed, warning the driver to move the vehicle to a safety location. if the driver ignores these warnings and continues to drive the vehicle, and if there was a continued loss of pressure, the rear spring parking brakes would automatically apply, preventing the truck from being driven.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the air compressor head. the recall began on may 23, 2007. owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, or isuzu at 1-800-255-6727.

Have noticed hesitation when xsmn shifting from 2ND to 3RD and also a knock. once vehicle finally gets into high everything seems fine, but takes longer than normally expected to accelerate. problem gets even worse when pulling a small trailer or boat. *Tr

10244945The following information is provided to clearly explain Isuzus policy for control module (engine, transmission, antilock brake, instrument panel, body control, power interface, etc.) reprogramming. Control module calibrations are regularly updated for many reasons. These reasons may include, but are not limited to: model year change, software corrections, certification compliance, product improvement and specific application requirements. However, the mere existence of a newer control module calibration does not necessarily mean that warranty coverage exists or that the calibration must be installed. It is not our policy to update control modules, under warranty or after warranty, based solely on the availability of a newer calibration file. Below are our guidelines for reprogramming control modules.
