Thumbs up

1999 isuzu trooper

163,000 miles only replaced the starter and repacked the wheel berings. I love this truck. I had a 1994 5 speed trooper and sold it with 220,000 miles still ran like a top.

Trooper Limited

the gas line leaked and made it sound like the muffler was screwed up, spent about $2,000 on repairs, no real damage, family owned since 1997, good car all in all

3.1TD Auto

1993 Trooper Diesel Turbo, automatic, sunroof, bull bars
230,000 Miles (370,00km)
New rubber boots on front CVs (CVs were fine, boots tore)
3 changes of cam belt
1 new starter motor - at 200,000m
3 " big bore exhaust fitted (more power, better gas milage) at 100,000m approx
Power steer hose weeping where bolts to pump (virtually from new)...never bothered to change....level stays between high/low in reservoir, never topped up
4 sets of tyres
1 wheel alignment
10 auto gearbox standard services
(Feels like) a million oil changes!!
Grease all nipples once a year
Repacked front auto hubs once
Recently flushed radiator, new antifreeze. No leaks.
Replaced front door speakers as had perished.
Still uses no oil, and economy high 20's per gallon, mostly at 50 to 75 mph. Some towing of horse float (once weekly).
All trips minimum of 20 miles.
Although incredibly boring to drive is very economical and reliable.
Seemingly bullet proof.
Only gripe - aircon not too good on very hot days.
Body no rust or damage.
No 4wd use.
Expecting 500,000km (300,000m) then probably buy another much newer.

Thanx, PJ in Fla

Re: How many miles do you have your Isuzu?

I had a 93 Trooper with over 100k, then I got hit rear ended by a semi. I obviously replaced it with another trooper. The one I drive now, a 1998 I bought after it had expired a 4 year lease. It had 50k, and now has over 120k. No problems

I used/use both for work, and in my mind they are basically trucks. At least they work like one.

1998 with 178,000 miles. Owned since new. Oil leak when new. Dealer pulled motor and repaired problems. Torque on demand sensor was replaced at 170,000. Rotors rusted out at 150,000 miles. Brakes twice. 4 sets of tires. Other than that just maintenance. Oil consumption same as others I see here, 1 to 2 qts between changes. It has always used oil. Currently fighting an electrical problem. Seems to be the alternator.

Great car!

Re: Trooper Miles etc

1999 Trooper
3.5L
106K
Problems:
- Bought at 80K
- Engine blew 600 miles later - main and rod bearings
- Engine replaced by dealer with used 50K
- At 100K rear end differential went. Probably due to botched replacement of pinion seal a few months prior.
- Significant oil use (2+ qts per 1000 miles)

After searching the forum, will be trying Sea foam in crankcase, soak, or CD2 solutions to problems

Re: How many miles do you have your Isuzu?

I read someplace that the reason the 98 plus troopers burn extra oil is because while trying to increase perfomance they over increased the manifold pressure which burns the extra oil, or something like that.
