#17 of 271 re: Tranny Problem? by sbcooke Jan 05, 2001 (8:34 am)
Are you saying this is a know problem in all Trooper's? I have not seen a TSB about it? I will see if my truck does this tonight. I have noticed 2 things which might be related, but have passed them off. First, when the truck is very cold, and you engage drive the first time it sort of whooshes, I attribute this just the auto-choke being on? I have noticed a hard downshift around those speeds? When I step on it the truck sort of "slips" at those speeds? Rev then engage, but no whoosh? It is very quick, I have a lead foot so maybe that is why I haven't experienced that exact problem? I had the fluid level checked but it was fine. For my sake I hope the problem is only with your truck (no offense), but this is good info in case it is a widespread problem.
#18 of 271 Auto-choke - sbcooke by sdc2 Jan 05, 2001 (10:18 am)
Fuel injected vehicles don't have chokes. They achieve the same thing (increase fuel versus air mix for cold starts) by computer control of the injectors.   Possibly the whooshing you are referring to is the fan noise due to the cold-start fast idle.
#19 of 271 No Whooshe by paisan Jan 05, 2001 (11:33 am)
Although all these tranny's are known to have a "banging" from 2-1. This is normal and actually helps to prolong the life of the transmission due to less slippage. IIRC.   -mike
#20 of 271 Great Prices by stephenfuller Jan 07, 2001 (9:57 am)
I just bought a 2000 Trooper LS 2WD with sunroof, leather, and wood trim for $23,300 in Dallas Texas. Drive out was $25,000. I love my new Trooper!
#21 of 271 aftermarket leather by paisan Jan 07, 2001 (10:32 am)
Is the quality of the aftermarket leather good? Only Limiteds have leather from the factory.   -mike
#22 of 271 FYI - 2001 Trooper Anniversary Edition by bluedevils Jan 07, 2001 (7:31 pm)
I just noticed on the Isuzu web site that an anniversary edition Trooper is offered for the 2001 model year. Isuzu's own site does not have any info - the pop-up text said the package is available December 2000 - but on Microsoft's CarPoint site, by using the Build Your Own vehicle configurator that the Anniversary Edition seems to be a package that's available on the LS trim level. CarPoint does not have an MSRP or invoice price for the package yet, but it does have the list of equipment that's included in the package. Among the items is leather seats.
#23 of 271 1999 trooper by sbcooke Jan 15, 2001 (11:01 am)
I stopped by a dealer outside Philadelphia the other day. They still have a 1999 in the back corner of the lot! I believe it is still new (not a demo, it has been there for a while). It is beige. Someone could probably pick it up for $19K?   If anyone is interested let me know and I will post their phone #.
#24 of 271 good deal on troopers in Portland OR by bfree2 Jan 15, 2001 (6:35 pm)

#25 of 271 Troop with factory Nakamichi sound system by bluedevils Jan 16, 2001 (4:35 am)
I forgot to mention this earlier: while at the Detroit auto show, I saw an Anniversary Edition Trooper, and it was equipped with a Nakamichi head unit. The front door speakers seemed to be different than stock (I didn't pop the grills off to look for sure). I assume that this is part of the Anniversary Edition and not just an auto show special display type of thing.   If so, maybe Isuzu is ready to address one of the Trooper's weakest points-- its sound system.
#26 of 271 re: Sound System by paisan Jan 16, 2001 (5:23 am)
Is it really that bad? I guess I'm just not an audiophile, cause I thought that the system was pretty decent for stock. Then again, I only own 6 cds, everything else is on tape (child of the 80s) and the only reason I have 6 cds is so I could fill up the 6 cd changer in the Trooper! If I were to upgrade the stereo, it would be to put in a GPS/stereo/DVD player. For those of you in the know, what is the weak part of the Isuzu systems? The head unit? CD? Speakers? Thanks.   -mike
