Isuzu Trooper 2.8 TDi

Yes get rid of those Autolockers as soon as you can!!!! Went off roading yesterday and a friend had his hubs break on him... I recommend AVM manual hubs, or given that you're in the US, Superwinch do some as well as Warn (I think)... Do a web search for Japanese 4x4 parts ,I am sure you will find some mail order place that can help you - don't buy from Isuzu!!!

Have fun and as soon as it starts to be a money pit, sell it! I know from experience and Mikey too!!!!

I have just bought a 1990 Isuzu Trooper with the 2.8 liter engine. Other than it taking almost 12feet for the hubs to lock in, its great. Of course, I spent about 30 minutes rocking my way out of a muddy ditch low in a valley today. The hubs just wouldn't lock in. I guess I'll be buying some manual hubs. Does anybody know where I can find a good deal on parts for it?

Hiya... those prices sound okay, especailly if you're doing the work yourself!

I gotta get me a new caliper - was the one you got new or recon? If new, I'd be interested to know where you got it from! Maybe Milner aren't the cheapest... but heres their details

My email is [email protected] if ya want to talk more, cos we seem to be having a conversation on a public review board!!

Not sure about rear door other than a scrappy... i have a big chunk angle grinded out of mine to try and stop the rust... it adds character!! :0|

Do you have a contact number for them????

Just got a new caliper and discs.

The pads fell out the left hand caliper and the caliper wore away the disc and its self.

Caliper was £120 Discs £20 each.

Took the gearbox off today... was very easy much easier than working on my mini!!

I need a new rear door any ideas???

Cheers,

Mike

Mike I know totally where you are coming from.... just don't buy them parts from Isuzu!!!!!!!!!!!!! thought i guess you know that already.... and mine isnt a bust diff its a brake caliper so im back on the road soon wahooo!!!!!

I recommend Milner Off Road in Matlock, Derbys for parts... good price, excellent service :)

Engine light, on my original trooper was a problem however found it to be a vacuum leak. Just reconnected line and that was that.

I have the same issue with the check engine light on my '94 with 108,000 mi. The light started coming on at around 70,000-80,000 miles. No one seems to know the reason it goes on except that it is associated with the EGR sensor. I have at least a dozen mechanics try to figure it out including the Isuzu dealership. The light goes off at or below 1500 rpms but comes back on above that. I have learned to ignore it which I heard could be costly but I haven't had other problems with my Trooper.

I just came back from a 3000mi vacation from southern California through Oregon and back. The altitudes ranged from below sea level to just above 7000 ft. Temperatures ranged from 18F to 85F. Conditioned ranged from nice sun shiny days to blizzard conditions. The check engine light come on sporatically. Other than a small oil drip requiring a quart of oil every 1000mi, my Trooper ran flawlessly.

Watch out for the "program" cars. That is what I bought, a 2000 Trooper "program" and come to find out it was a rental. I have had an engine replaced, shocks, all brakes (pads and rotors) and all this was at 25k. Now I need tires at 44K. I am in a lawsuit against the dealer for deceptive business practices and consumer fraud. My advice is to run a car-fax report and go from there. Good luck with your trooper
