Isuzu Trooper discussion

[s_quilicot]

thanks for the replies,

maraming kalampag especially from the interior, i think sa seats galing. lumalabas kapag sa lubak lang.

when you drive in good asphalt roads, ang ganda ng ride, it beats our other cars pa in terms of comfort.

mileage is about 75k palang. hindi masyado ginagamit. napalitan are shocks to rancho adjustable type. also, clutch was overhauled. thats about it. may mga minor na problems like power window, etc. nothing big really.

so far, its our most reliable car, despite its lack of proper maintenance. pero whats preventing me to use it as my daily driver is that its really shakey. especially during mornings, parang may jackhammer na nakatabi sayo.

also, aircon is not that powerful. however our car has really light tint so baka yun yung problem.

75k? wow. sakin 05 model 83k na.

still on stock

anong pressure ng tires mo? kasi sa 35PSi parang malambot parin e

30 or 29 para better traction.

i am using 265/75R16. almost no rubbing.

si trup naka 285/75 dati. not sure kung me rubbing sya

wow. im planing to put 285/60/18 or 285/50/20 soon.

di ba bouncy sa 265/75 sir edwin?

[niwde11]

bouncy e depende sa shock mo. syempre mas maganda ride ng mataas na gulong kesa low profile. pero syempre sa patag at highspeed mas maganda low profile. nasayo na yun

thanks sir ediwn.

BTW, i experience overheating yesterday.

kakatapos ko lang mag pa lav'ra'mon sa auto technika fairview and after that 5 liters of distilled water lang pinalagay ko pero mga 5 kms from auto technika nag steam sa engine bay ko only to find out bumukas na yung reservoir ko and halos ubosa na yung tubig sa radiator.

the check engine light came on but the temp gauge stays on middle wich is normal.

[s_quilicot]

Guys nagooverheat trooper ko ngayon, pero hindi naman nauubusan ng tubig yung rad? anong problem?

[niwde11]

sq; i guess me problema na 4jx1 mo.:D ayaw mo palitan ng 4jg2?

Meron talaga edwi,. kelan pa ba nawalan ng problema to?

satiesfied ako sa power ng 4jx1 eh. tsk tsk.


BTW, i just had projector lights on my trooper

post pics later.

[niwde11]

sq. power is useless kung pabalik balik ka sa casa.:D malakas talaga ang crdi engines. kaso bago pa kasi kaya di pa mahule ng mga madiskarteng mekaniko ang sakit neto.
anyway pic nga ng projector lights plus cost.

bought it for 2k a pair * c34x4.

niwds, auxillary lights lang ha, not the HL.

[s_quilicot]

guys, may nagpalit naba dito ng cylinder head gasket?

[wham_10mbps]

bro pa post naman ng pics trooper mo with the new projector lights.

nagpalit na ako ng headgasket due to overheating kaso hindi 4JX1 makina ko, 4JG2 siya. Eto yung link sa kabilang thread, makikita mo yung mga ginawa at costs na din.

hope this helps.

nap123, musta na trooper mo? na mount mo na ba bumpers?

[Benzmizer]

Could be the water pump. But that's odd since this is not a known problem of the Trooper.

guys, anong size pala ng tires pinakamalaki nyong nagamit?

Mine runs on 22s. Tires used are Nitto 305 40 R22. Ride isn't as comfortable compared to stock 245 70 R16s but still rides good. To address this, I replaced the stock shocks with Bilstein HD (comfort setting).

SQ,

Nice to meet you bro. Medyo busy lang ako when you came sa shop.
Cylinder head gasket is a possible culprit pag uubos ang coolant especially pag recurring overheating.

Nice meeting you too bro. Tangkad mo ha.

I was impressed by your shop.

Mga tsikoteers din pala sila sir jake

IF CHG nga culprit, is there any chance na nasira din cylinder head?

[mars18]

Hi! May idea po ba kayo kung magkano replace yung backlight ng compass? hindi na mabasa yung readings dahil sobra dilim. Thanks

Hard to say. Aluminum kasi and head niyan 16 valves pa. The intense heat can really warp it depending how long its subjected to overheating.

baka backlight lang po yan or a fuse.

I'm still waiting for sir jake's call. any update?

[s_quilicot]

Update: Running condition na trooper namin ngayon.

pero may new problem, may bluish white smoke na mejo malakas.

[testament11]

bluish white smoke? white means compression issues pero may shade of blue?

describe mo mabuti sq ang scenario paano nangyayari yang bluish white smoke
