#11846 of 11878 Re: Isuzu Trooper 99 -- Recently noticed car is swaying more/road noise [bsmart2] by wlbrown9 Jun 16, 2009 (8:17 am)
Replying to: bsmart2 (Jun 15, 2009 9:16 am) I replaced my starter last year. I had to drop that cross member but not the exhaust pipe, '00 Trooper. Of course the exhaust would not affect the stability while the cross member might.   One other thought, how about the sway bars? If the end of one is loose or broken (had that happen on a Quest van years ago) that could cause the problem.
#11847 of 11878 1990 ISUZU TROOPER 4X4 MANUAL 5 SPEED WITH A 2.8 LITER V6 by mataus Jul 14, 2009 (7:58 pm)
I hope someone can help. I am looking to replace my 2.8 liter engine with another that has more power. The high end on the 2.8 liter really sucks. On the other hand, the low end is awesome! Especially in 4 wheel! I'll take my Trooper up against any Jeep! At any time!   I've heard from a few people that there is a Chevy engine that will line up with my tranny. Something in the area of a Chevy 3.1 liter v6. I don't know the specific engine or the year, but if there is something out there that would have more power. it would be great! My 90 Trooper is in excellent condition! I just need a more powerful engine.   Any help would be greatly appreciated...   Maddy

#11849 of 11878 Quick warm up by mpel Jul 23, 2009 (10:39 am)
Should I be concerned that my '99 Trooper's engine gets warm - temp gauge needle right in the middle - in under a mile, literally in a few minutes??!! It never goes PAST the middle on the gauge - but sometimes it just "smells hot" if you know what I mean - not a burning oil smell or anything alarming...just "hot".   Had a mech say, "if its not going past middle of gauge not to worry about it...if anything, its god that the engine warms up alot quicker than other cars."

Hi there,I have 2 3.1turbo diesel Troopers and yes they do run Hot,Dont worry as the mechanic said as long as the gauge is in the middle then everything is ok,Also you say that it smells hot,Strange you should say that but 1 of my troopers was the same but then i realise that it was the tyres as i have on that 1 a set of goodrich semi on/off road tyres and the get hot and do smell a little,the track is 100% it is just they smell when i park up,Regards Gerry in the Uk

I think my car is stuck in 4 wheel drive. I got in the car today and the Torque on demand rear wheels are lit up green, I have no idea how this happened or how to fix it. Replies to this message: bsmart2 (Aug 13, 2009 1:32 pm)
#11852 of 11878 Tough day by green11 Jul 26, 2009 (8:11 pm)
Just sent my 1999 loaded trooper to the grave yard. It was in great condition but I got 4500 cash for clunkers towards my wifes new car. Only 113k miles and well maintained. Fairly new expensive tires, new brakes and all options worked.   I was planning to keep it as a third vehicle before the rebate program.   I can not belive it is going to "die" with so much life left, and I can not believe I was so attached to it. I have imagined the government keeping the best "clunkers" for government use so it can live on.   I have owned many cars. None more relaible than the trooper that I owned for about 6 years.

Replying to: green11 (Jul 26, 2009 8:11 pm) They'll take everything out of it except for the thirsty drivetrain (which in itself is a ticking bomb - no pun intended) - It will live on as a donor car   I'm keeping my 2002 - I can't believe it's worth ~$4500 on paper though... Even 2000 Rodeos have a higher trade-in value for some reason. Replies to this message: green11 (Jul 27, 2009 11:03 am) bsmart2 (Aug 13, 2009 1:45 pm) green11 (Aug 21, 2009 10:22 am)

Replying to: cracovian (Jul 27, 2009 8:32 am) Thanks for the kind words.   I never believe in trade in values anyways on older cars not in demand. You will get more from an individual but I hate the hassle of selling, that is why I was prepared to just drive out the car before the clunker program. You may even get offered shockingly less than you think that if you actually trade in at a dealer.   I now have a crossover SUV and a car. Thought I was ready for the change, but I miss the "truck". I am sure I will adjust or get something more truck like next, whenever that is. Replies to this message: bsmart2 (Aug 13, 2009 1:45 pm) green11 (Aug 21, 2009 10:22 am)

Replying to: armytrooper (Jul 25, 2009 5:20 pm) Rear wheels lit up green on TOD display is NORMAL. It should have been on anytime the ignition is on.
