Isuzu NPR Wheels and Tires 101

[@nitronick5659]

On the rotors being reversed, you got lucky. I have actually had the lugs back off because they were mounted on the wrong side. As to using a torch to loosen the lug nuts....I found a much easier way to bust them loose. eBay has a very reasonably priced torque multiplier kit that I keep inside my truck. The kit has the multiplier and several size sockets, including the square drive!

This is helping me out quite a bit as a small business owner, thank you!

[@patrickshaw8595]

Glad I found this !!! I just used a 50 ton gear puller on my inner duals and it's jaws ripped small pieces out of the wheel holes! I said "C'mon Man! Something has to be holding this thing on!" I get it - you unscrew the WHEEL STUDS !!! (and there are smaller fixed studs inside those)

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Stupid question I am sure but I just can't visualize the process in my head. Is it possible to rotate your own tires without getting the whole thing up in the air? I would have a jack that would just lift up one side at time. Would I have to get some heavy duty jack stands and elevate the whole truck?

I have a 92 NPR dump truck. Set up with the 4 cyl turbo diesel. She still running strong. I am putting new tires on it. Thank you for this content 🙏 God Bless.

I am looking at buying a 2003 NPR with a 5.7 gas and 4 speed tranny. Is that a good rig for $8000 with 70k miles no rust. thanks

[@chrigdichein]

Thanks for all the videos, especially the drum breaks ones 👍🏽 driving a NPS300 in Australia. happy New Year to all

[@CSERepair]

What impact do you use ? A handheld 3/4 or a big boy handle 1”? My breaker bar does nothing on these lugs 😄

[@georgeg7172]

Hi, Question: you mentioned to invest in a torch to help get these stubborn Lugnuts off. Not exactly sure what torch and how I would use it. Could you recommend a model number of an appropriate torch? And do I just heat up the stud in the middle of the nut or heat the outside of the nut as well? What I like about Your videos is that you give step by step instruction(even the steps that might be considered common sense to some). Thanks

[@wescrichton4264]

Thanks for the video, what do you torque the 8x nuts to that hold the rear side shafts in?

[@thesailboat]

Thank you for this. What do you recommend for inflating these tires?

[@AnthonyValerio-wc6dh]

Thanks for the good vids. What's torque spec for the axle flange bolts?

[@askmidwest]

I’m trying to find a video on your channel on how to replace the rear wheel seals and bearings.

[@woodFTP]

Hey man I love your vids! I learned how to do brakes and adjust the parking and rears because of you. I just recently changed the front calipers on a 2016 and I am unsure of the bleeding procedure. I have the IDSS software but I am not sure if I need the truck running or not. I read a lot of different info on the web. How do you bleed brakes on the npr?

[@anthonyleesmann9863]

Just in case i missed your answer. On drivers side that is reverse thread. Once outer lug nut is removed, will the inner stud that 21mm socket is used on be reverse thread as well. Thanks

[@E.P.7131]

Yes

[@mikestirewalt5193]

Will 19.5 wheels work on a 1994 NPR? Is there any reason why I can't go to larger wheels on my NPR? Thanks.

[@johnnytacokleinschmidt515]

You may need a pork chop wrench if the outer nut seizes to the inner combination nut stud on the rear wheels. Get one ahead of time. Good MAP gas plumbing torch will provide adequate heat to aid removal in most cases.

[@rodneymcvey1059]

Is a 3 ton floor Jack enough to Jack front of npr to change brakes?

[@Tealdog038]

Do you torque the stud's to 362ft/lbs also?

[@JosephParsons-rk4it]

Hey man I appreciate your work. I have a small fleet of NPRs and am needing to replace the cam sensor. Where excactly is that located? Any help would be appreciated.

[@Jnr1213]

Can you do a maintenance video for a gas Npr 5.7. You’re very helpful because there’s not many videos in KZbin on nprs. Also, do you know where I can find my blinker flash relay. I don’t seem to find it.

[@nitronick5659]

The flasher relay is mounted behind the radio. Good luck. They do vary by year. My 1999 is a weird one. $170!!!

[@waxfactory7582]

You look exactly like the man I bought a tiltmaster chevy npr from last month in kentucky

[@shonuffisthemaster]

are all the rims the same? i imagined that the outer rim had bigger lug holes so that it could go around the inner lug nut flange, but that dosent seem to be the case. does the outer rim have enough of a countersink so that it doesn't hit the inner lug nut flange, or does it ride on that flange?

[@nitronick5659]

The rims are the same.

[@Kq4hcuDan]

Im looking to get a used model to haul my tools with random stuff, run my equipment, convert it awd and, tow my travel trailer being a daily driver. I was looking at the dump series but if i was rich id get a the overlander series

[@robertcringely7348]

I love this channel! I'm shopping for a used NPR. It would be great if you could do a video about how to spot a good or bad NPR for sale (what to look for or avoid). I've pretty much settled on a 2000 HD diesel from Craigslist but I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't worried.

[@waxfactory7582]

Did you buy one?

[@khorramshahri]

I found one w 5 lug rear wheels and 15.5" tires. Can't get tires. And can't get wheels made. Must do hub or axle swap. Hopefully I find a video

[@andyg817]

Sorry but, Are those rear studs left hand thread too ???

[@LVSWRKINGATNITE]

On these trucks, all the studs will have an L if they are the driver side and that means left-hand threads front and rear.

[@jasonleemoore]

Nice work, Brother!

[@sukhdeepcheema1221]

Thnakew so much

[@aj3284]

What do you do when both lugs want to come off at the same time on the back wheels?

[@Nprdoctor]

They should be torqued the same (362) re torque the inner. Slightly over torque the inner with your square socket. Then use a torch to heat the outer lug nut. Inspect the lug nuts and studs for damage. Replace as needed

[@nitronick5659]

When loosening, you should also make sure that your socket is only engaged on the outer nut if you are using a Budd wheel socket. When loosening or tightening the outer wheel nuts I always keep the socket about 1/4 inch from touching the wheel.

[@sungwoon1130]

Love your videos! Can you make a video on how to clean EGR cooler and valve?

[@crazyDIYguy]

I've broke about 4 studs learning the hard way the reverse and regular threads 😄 fml

@@Nprdoctor 07 6.0. When I start it and go to take off, it sometimes acts like there’s no fuel. And kinda sputters for a few seconds until it clears out and then drives fine. I was thinking it’s maybe the O2 sensors?
