Replying to: wlbrown9 (Jun 18, 2009 11:32 am) However, the low oil may be an issue. After the oil light went on, I stopped at the dealership where I purchased my car, and it was down 4 quarts since the last oil change, which was about 2,000 miles ago. But, there is no burning smell, no smoke, no leaking underneath, and no residue coming out of the exhaust pipe. Any thoughts? Thanks |

I was given a 1993 Trooper......I got it running and want to know if anyone in the Dallas, Texas area can recommend a good place to do some work on it. Specifically some overhaul/restoration work. Thanks, and I am glad i found this site. |

Hello fellow Trooper owners, I am experiencing some expensive problems with my '99 Trooper, 5 speed manual. I have been trying in vain to get her running right. She is consuming alot of oil. I have to add oil every 1000-1500 miles after the 3,000 mile oil change. I recently learned that it may be due to sticking Piston Rings. The sticking Piston Rings can result in Piston Rod failure, thus resulting in replacement of the block which can cost at least $4,000.00 w/labor add on $1235.00. So, if you are having the same problems, I hope the above helps. |

Replying to: isuzudan (Jun 16, 2009 11:42 am) have you tried RXP ? It is a fuel additive that helps the engine burn hydrocarbons more completely. I use it in EVERY vehicle I own and have NEVER had an emissions test failure. The CA standards are more strict than TX but it should help. I buy mine at Autozone. (I do not sell, or own stock or in any way benefit financially from anyone using this product) |

First of all I’d like to thank those who provided feedback about how to replace a Serpentine Belt. Even for a non-mechanical type like myself, I was able to replace it within the 10-30 minute range that was suggested by others. I have another issue that I’d appreciate any feedback on. My Trooper, like many others in this forum, has been sucking oil. In addition, I hear kind of a hollow, metal grinding type sound when my car is accelerating, and then it goes away when the car is done shifting gears. A mechanic told me that it was a PCV Valve issue, and that the valve was sticking open, causing the car to use more oil than normal. He pulled the PCV Valve, cleaned it up with some spray, and replaced the valve. The sound has gotten better, but is still there, and it is still using oil, making me think that the PCV Valve is still partially stuck open. My question is should I go buy and replace the PCV Valve myself? It looked fairly easy (pull the vacuum hose, and pull out the PCV Valve), and would only cost about $6 for the PCV Valve. Does the diagnosis from the mechanic sound plausible, and is the PCV Valve as easy to replace as it looks. Thanks in advance!
