REAR AXLE 4B-7

REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY
General Description
A03R300001

The rear axle assembly is of the semi–floating type in
which the vehicle weight is carried on the axle
housing .
The center line of the pinion gear is below the center
line of the ring gear (hypoid drive).
All parts necessary to transmit power from the
propeller shaft to the rear wheels are enclosed in a
banjo type axle housing.
The 220 mm (8.6 in) ring gear rear axle uses a
conventional ring and pinion gear set to transmit the
driving force of the engine to the rear wheels. This
gear set transfers this driving force at a 90 degree
angle from the propeller shaft to the drive shafts.
The axle shafts are supported at the wheel end of the
shaft by a double tapered roller bearing.
The pinion gear is supported by two tapered roller
bearings. The pinion depth is set by a shim pack
located between the gear end of the pinion and the
roller bearing that is pressed onto the pinion. The
pinion bearing preload is set by crushing a collapsible
spacer between the bearings in the axle housing.
The ring gear is bolted onto the differential cage with
12 bolts.
The differential cage is supported in the axle housing
by two tapered roller bearings. The differential and ring
gear are located in relationship to the pinion by using
selective shims and spacers between the bearing and
the differential cage. To move the ring gear, shims are
deleted from one side and an equal amount are added
to the other side. These shims are also used to
preload the bearings which are pressed onto the
differential cage. Two bearing caps are used to hold
the differential into the rear axle housing.
The differential is used to allow the wheels to turn at
different rates of speed while the rear axle continues
to transmit the driving force. This prevents tire
scuffing when going around corners and prevents
premature wear on internal axle parts.
The rear axle is sealed with a pinion seal, a seal at
each axle shaft end, and by a liquid gasket between
the differential carrier and the axle housing

6D1-2 ENGINE ELECTRICAL (6VE1 3.5L)
Battery
General Description
There are six battery fluid caps on the top of the battery.
These are covered by a paper label.
The battery is completely sealed except for the six small
vent holes on the side. These vent holes permit the
escape of small amounts of gas generated by the
battery.
This type of battery has the following advantages ove
r
conventional batteries:
1. There is no need to add water during the entire
service life of the battery.
2. The battery protects itself against overcharging.
The battery will refuse to accept an extensive
charge.
(A conventional battery will accept an excessive
charge, resulting in gassing and loss of battery
fluid.)
3. The battery is much less vulnerable to sel
f
discharge than a conventional type battery.
Diagnosis
1. Visual Inspection
Inspect the battery for obvious physical damage, such
as a cracked or broken case, which would permi
t
electrolyte loss.
Replace the battery if obvious physical damage is
discovered during inspection.
Check for any other physical damage and correct it as
necessary.


2. Fluid Level Check
The fluid level should be between the upper level line(1)
and lower level line(2) on side of battery.
a. CORRECT FLUID LEVEL – Charge the battery.
b. BELOW LOWER LEVEL – Replace battery.



RTW36DSH000101
3. Voltage Check
1. Put voltmeter test leads to battery terminals.
a. VOLTAGE IS 12.4V OR ABOVE – Go to Step 5.
b. VOLTAGE IS UNDER 12.4V – Go to procedure
(2) below.
2. Determine fast charge amperage from specification.
(See Main Data and Specifications in this section).
Fast charge battery for 30 minutes at amperage
rate no higher than specified value.
Take voltage and amperage readings after charge.
a. VOLTAGE IS ABOVE 16V AT BELOW 1/3 OF
AMPERAGE RATE – Replace battery.
b. VOLTAGE IS ABOVE 16V AT ABOVE 1/3 OF
AMPERAGE RATE – Drop charging voltage to
15V and charge for 10 – 15 hours. Then go to
Step 5.
c. VOLTAGE IS BETWEEN 12V AND 16V –
Continue charging at the same rate for an
additional 3–1/2 hours. Then go to Step 5.
d. VOLTAGE BELOW 12V – Replace Battery.

SPARK PLUGS

Removal Procedure
1. Remove spark plugs.

Inspection Procedure
The spark plug affects entire engine performance and
therefore its inspection is very important.
 Check electrode and insulator for presence o
f
cracks, and replace if any.
 Check electrode for wear, and replace if necessary.
 Check gasket for damage, and replace if necessary.
 Measure insulation resistance with an ohmmeter,
and replace if faulty.
 Adjust spark plug gap to 1.0 mm (0.04 in)

1.1 mm
(0.043 in).
 Check fuel and electrical systems if spark plug is
extremely dirty.
 Use spark plugs having low heat value (hot type
plug) if fuel and electrical systems are normal.
 Use spark plugs having high heat value (cold type
plug) if insulator and electrode are extremely
burned.
Sooty Spark Plugs
Much deposit of carbon or oil on the electrode and
insulator of spark plug reduces the engine performance.
Possible causes:
 Too rich mixture
 Presence of oil in combustion chamber
 Incorrectly adjusted spark plug gap
Burning Electrodes
This fault is characterized by scorched or heavily
oxidized electrode or blistered insulator nose.
Possible causes:
 Too lean mixture
 Improper heat value

Measuring Insulation Resistance
 Measure insulation resistance using a 500 volt
megaohm meter.
 Replace spark plugs if measured value is out o
f
standard.
Insulation resistance: 50 M
  or more




011RS010
Cleaning Spark Plugs
 Clean spark plugs with a spark plug cleaner.
 Raise the ground electrode to an angle of 45 to 60
degrees. If electrode is wet, dry it before cleaning.

After spark plug is thoroughly cleaned, check
insulator for presence of cracks.
 Clean threads and metal body with a wire brush.
 File the electrode tip if electrode is extremely worn.

Service Precaution
CAUTION:
Always use the correct fastener in the proper location.
When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part
number for that application. ISUZU will call out those
fasteners that require a replacement after removal. ISUZU
will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers
or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do
not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener
joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect
the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may
damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts
and systems.
