Thats just that engine... and even tho it takes oil it's still very
reliable, and Isuzus other engines (real Isuzu Japan not GM america ones) like the 4JB1 2.8 turbo diesel are the best out there in their capacity class for power and reliablity. rhys "willie" > wrote in message .. . > Why on EARTH would you be happy with a vehicle that's only done 40k miles, > that you have to put half a pint every 1500 miles?

Í've got the 2.8TD in an 88 bighorn and it's better than the 2.4 2.5 and 2.7
diesels Mitsi and Toyota use(d). Sure it's not up to matching the Nissan 4.2 or the Duramax 6.5, but they're in a different class. rhys "willie" > wrote in message .. . > Ok, I'd love to know what YOU were smoking when you were told those > lies.........lol > > "rnf2" > wrote in message > ... > > Thats just that engine... and even tho it takes oil it's still very > > reliable, and Isuzus other engines (real Isuzu Japan not GM america ones) > > like the 4JB1 2.8 turbo diesel are the best out there in their capacity > > class for power and reliablity. > > > > rhys > > > > "willie" > wrote in message > > .. . > > > Why on EARTH would you be happy with a vehicle that's only done 40k > miles, > > > that you have to put half a pint every 1500 miles?

Surely you went back to > the dealership and asked why? > I have owned 2 Isuzu's.and would NEVER own another....there are far better > 4WD vehicles out there, that dont have motor issues....(only my opinion) WRONG. I own two Isuzu Troopers, a 2000 LS and a 1997 S, both of which have gone through hell and back. Want proof, how about one of only thirty vehicles to successfully complete Devils Culdra in CA, and no, I am not talking thirty models of vehicles, but thirty vehicles total, one of which was my 00' Trooper. Simply put, the Isuzu Trooper is--was--the most sound and reliable import on the market. When off road or hazardous conditions are factors you will not find one SUV under $75k that competes with the Trooper, simply put, no one compares. This winter alone I have faced 12" snow conditions, with an inch of ice underneath the snow and my Trooper did not spin out once via the TOD system, however, in RWD the Trooper will and can slip and tailspin. When the Trooper did slip in RWD it was not unexpected, when handling the Trooper under slippery conditions it was very predictable and slips were easily overcome using the basic principles--which is more than I can say for the other SUVs I have owned. I have faced sixty five degree inclines, forty degree planes, and twelve inch rocks and not once has the Trooper let me down. My 97' has 298,341 miles on it and my 00' has 53,249 miles, both of which have not required any major service repairs. The only surprise that has came was the drivers side window, which had to be totally replaced because the window mounts broke, but besides for that there has been nothing else out of the ordinary in regards to these vehicles. What you will find is that people either love or hate the Trooper, but the bottom line is if you do not need and SUV then you will hate the Trooper, however, those of us who do need real SUVs love the Trooper. If a trendy mini van is what your after then you will most certainly be disappointed with the Trooper. But if your looking for a rugged, second to none SUV (ORV) then the Trooper is your only solution, unless you can afford a Hummer. I have owned many other SUVs including a 4Runner, Grand Cherokee, LR Discovery, Bronco, Explorer, Blazer, Silverado, and Wagoneer and in all honesty none of them can compare. Michael |

I've had to park in 2 feet of snow for days on end this winter, no problem. I only once had some difficulty in the snow so I put the 4WD in low gear and out we cruised... I then discovered the handbrake was still on! -- madiba |
