Fan clutch has gone out two times already. isuzu told us in 98 that the fan clutch was defective and a new style was to be built. in feb of 1999 they finally can out with a new model. time will tell if it was a new model of another lie. we also have a problem with the ABS brake warning cable being worn through causing loss of ABS system. manufacturer says it was out of warranty, yet I cant see why a brake line to wear through at 84000 miles on highway roads.
