    I am a happy Trooper owner, skyroof edition 03 model, 45T Km, ZERO problems so far... considering im on its 4th year.

    I just want to know if there are any other Happy Trooper owners, specifically the CRDi version.

    I have read so many bad stuff, I just want to hear any Good Stuff... o talagang wala?!... I dont want to be the last one or the only one.

    So if there are any... please post...

    Or am I doomed like the others?!... Injector problems when I reach 65-80T Kms?... Anyone passed that reading WITHOUT any problem?... that will be good to hear!

    Mine is. It's almost 110,000 kilometers withour issues. Almost always, I'm asked what do I do to keep my Trooper headache-fre. My answer is simple, "I just regularly have my Trooper undergo PMS as suggested." ---- and that is no secret..... it's in the maintenance Booklet that goes with the vehicle.

    Hi Jhun. I don't want to risk it. I only use Genuine ISUZU parts (motor oil, coolant and filters). A bit costly if you as me but believe me, it'll be worth it in the long run.

    Happy Trooper owner? Here I am! Our Trooper has not clocked many kilometers unlike those of some of our fellow Tsikoteers here at 70t kms. Also bought second hand, but way back in 2003.

    Sir JhunTrooper, which year model is your Trooper? Color, mileage and purchase price?

    Pareho pala tayo ng year model at kulay! non-Skyroof din sayo? As for Tsikoteers that are 4JX1 owners, I'm not very sure. But you can encounter many of them in the Trooper forums and there are many among them who are also pleased with their Troopers.

    Un supervisor ko, napaaray sa 02 trooper nya, 60K naubos. Un coolant pumunta sa gas tank. kakaiba design ng engine(4jx1) na to. Kung di ka kuripot ok naman tong trooper, sa kagay ko e iindahin ko ang pagmamaintain ng trooper. kahit nga un hapon na nakasama ko sa trabaho, ginto daw price ng parts ng trooper

    Mahal nga pagmamaintain nito, just changed oil done yesterday, almost 8th ang inabot, hu hu hu, but the trooper 4jx1 is proven powerful engine, di ka ibibitin sa overtaking and uphill.

    Para di mo gano indahin un pagchange oil mo bro go to jayson, antonio rivera st., bumili ng langis at oem filter na pangtrooper na pang 2 o 3 change oil. Un officemate ko bumili na ng pang3 para di sayang ang punta nya kasi galing pang cavite.
    Mas gusto ko un lumang engine ng trooper mas less maintenance, 4JG2

    Di pa ko nakakabili sa welco. Sa Jayson lang, sa may antonio rivera st. Dun ako bumibili ng orig isuzu parts. Nung naaksidente un tropa ko na nakatrooper, basag un right HL nya dun sya nakabili, 7K ang difference compared sa casa. OEM oil filter and recommended oil para sa trooper meron dun

    Hi sir dh0n, changed oil (besco 10w 30 2 gallons), changed oil filter ( big & small), change fuel filter, yun lang sir ang pinapalit ko so far, next time baka yung coolant ( 6 liters I think), hindi ko na pina check yung injector takot ako baka magkamali pa yung mekaniko, next time maybe sabay ko nalang sa pag check ng timing belt,,, don't know about the master list, meron pala nun, pwedi ba nilang i verify yung sa trooper ko even 2nd owner ako?

any happy trooper owners?
