The FAQ lists the wrong spark plugs if you have a 2004+ Direct Injection 3.5l.

The OEM plugs are Denso Iridium SXU16HPR9. Everything about them is different from other Isuzu plugs. Confirmed by pulling the OEM plugs out to verify, and is also listed in the owner's manual. These should be good for 100k.

Just when you really wanted to see a possible answer.

Yeah! it finally works...
Solved the issue with friends clunk with auto tranny.
I'll bet the FAQ is correct with the fact the slip joint drive shaft is dry..
