Starting 1991 Isuzu Trooper 2.6 After 8 Years + Test Drive

[@gamer78full]

I love how at 7:08 it just fires up like nothing happened. Isuzu ❤️

Cool old vehicles. I had an 87 two door long wheel base with the five speed and 4 cylinder Isuzu engine. Was like a tractor. Simple and pretty tough.

What happened to your isuzu Russell?

That was exactly the first car I ever drove. My dad gave me lessons in it to give me a headstart for my license on a closed off lot. I hated the long gear shift and it was a thirsty beast. Fond memories.

My dad has like 5 of these and bought me one for my first car. Im 17 and also learning to drive in a Trooper, great car.

[@danmackintosh6325]

2:08 that's one good engine, 8 years sat & it's still holding oil pressure lol Reminds me of the story about Rolls Royce engines being that close tolerance that sometimes you could just switch on the ignition and the engine would fire on whatever cylinder was still on compression haha. Guess some folk believed it too.

A very underrated Japanese car company. There's just something about Japanese car makers with their quality, Toyotas, Hondas, Mitsubishis, Isuzu's, Subarus, Mazda's, and Old Nissan's/Datsun's are just unkillable. We had an ISUZU Rodeo from 2001 and it ran very well until some sh**ty Buick LaCrosse hit us in the back and then on top of that a (2004) Ford F-Series hit us in the front. Could've kept going for even longer, that's it makes me sad, it had 203 and something thousand miles on it. Very good V6 and transmission. And our neighbor still has their 1999 Trooper working.

[@stevejones1972]

Could have had an obstruction in the exhaust pipe , maybe mouse nest or something at first, causing engine stalling, but as exhaust was rusted, it blew a massive hole in itself, or simply fractured due to massive corrosion, and then the engine seemed to run without stalling. It sounded like a drivebelt ancillary was seizing at first too, maybe the waterpump or PAS bearings failing, but that seemed to right itself after engine warmed up. Sounded very loud without the mufflers, and definitely not firing on all cylinders!

[@menditman2004]

My dad has had a few of these, he currently has the newer 3.1 diesel one, unfortunately in the U.K. a lot of the early 2.8 tdi diesel ones got broke and engines were used in land rovers.

Maybe just re-do some of his steps? Crank it by hand, add some fresh oil (while cranking), check any pipes for blockage or misfiring spark plugs, starter motor?!

[@Flexiny]

Im sure you need to remove fuel tank, clean it and new fuel pump too (Usually fuel pump is trash after 5 years of standing). Check timing belt and oil too. Before starting change out engine oil or start it and do oil change with warm engine. Check for rust before too and depends how much rust is there and what is price. Cant tell at moment if it is worth buying.

[@hobbyavenue6740]

@@Flexiny thank you for the fast and great reply. The body looks to be rust free. Interior is in good shape some mold on the steering wheel. The chassis looks like it's entirely covered in surface rust. I will bring a hammer when I go see it to see if there is holes or cracks. The price he wants is 500 Canadian dollars. But he said 1 guy might get it for 1000.. maybe a bluff lol.

Thanks for the upload. I just bought a 2.6 4 liter with 215k, it is the 4x4 5 speed manual, I tested 1 cylinder compression without putting oil in it and it dropped 127 psi, I was in a hurry and didn't test the other 3, the engine ain't throwing smoke nor anything. I'll be using it for short trips in a farm I have and light duty work, not severe, in a weather that goes in summer at 34°c - 45°c max and in winter from 0°c occasionally to 25°c. I don't have the manual, my question is, I've seen in the oil recommendation search of several brands such as amsoil, shell, mobil, Kroon and they recommend from 5w30 synthetic to 20w50 mineral. What would you suggest I'll use? I was thinking 5w30 synthetic helix hx8 dexos1 gen 2 with 850 zddp max in winter and in summer 5w40 mobil 1 European formula with 1000ppm zddp mobil fs or 0w40 mobil 1 fs?
