Engine noise 1994 isuzu trooper 171000 miles - Trooper Isuzu Cars & Trucks

Great.

at the junk yard!

It appears that the main bearings are failing, as well as the rods bearings and maybe a wrist pin too.

In other words, it's worn out.

If you still like the vehicle and want to keep it, a warrantied used engine is probably the best solution.

Check at http://www.car-part.com/ for a local source of possible engine swaps.

PROBLEM COULD IN THE CLUTCH .

radiator may be stopped up, feel the radiator core

well just strip it and renew the brushes ,its easy with a soldering iron

this is not right there should be a rubber grommet in cluster lens take out and press button with ignition on to reset light just like resetting trip meter

Classic Trooper problem. You can get a lot of quiet(er) troublefree miles out of your Trooper with religious, regular oil changes. Isuzu is now advising the use of Mobil 1 0w30 synthetic motor oil, changed at 5000 mi intervals to quiet the lifter tapping that you're experiencing. If you're a DIYer, you can pick up 5qt jugs of this oil at Walmart for $23-$26. -Or, you can buy the basic oil change and provide your own Mobil 1 0w30 to the tech to keep the costs down.

It'll take 150-300 miles for the noise to settle down after the fresh oil change. Keep a close eye on your oil dipstick. As soon as you're coming close to a quart low, top it back up. The 3.2l motor will start tapping again when the oil level drops or is near the time to change. Forget the advice about the belt tensioner needing to be replaced. That is rarely the source of the noise. I have two Troopers, Christophe. They're the ones that aren't tapping like crazy at the traffic light. Enjoy your Troop. -Geoff

sounds like it may be a universal joint in the front or rear drive shaft.

pull the starter away from the bellhousing and turn the drive end upwards then it will come out from the engine compartment tight i know but i have just done mine so i know it will come
