Flush radiator
check your tranny fluid first
Glow plugs can easily be change on an Isuzu Trooper 3.0 TD. The old ones must be removed first and then the new glow plugs are installed using the same connections.
No. The isuzu trooper 3.5 will work with a 98-2005 rodeo but a 97 is a first gen. The 3.5 is the bored stroked version of the 3.2 with all the same connections as the 2nd gen Rodeos. The 1st gen Rodeos used a different 3.2 with different connections.
It's underneathe the intake manifold, so yes it has to come off first. Not very fun.
Check thermostat first
Start in center of head, in circle pattern work your way to out side first 21ft pounds then 47ft pounds
The tranny uses a preset program to shift that is computer based. You use your right foot on the gas pedal to get the trooper up to speed for the shift to happen in the normal driving scenario.
What motor is my question. it's either the 2.6L 4-Cylinder or the 3.2L V6 and having owned 4 rodeos and 2 Amigos (as well as 1 trooper) I know that the rodeo was first introduced in 1990. again, the 2.6L 4-Cylinder or the 3.2L V6 are the only ones that would fit.
You have to remove the engine first from the car. Place it on an engine stand and work your way on removing the cranksaft. No way to remove it while the engine is in the car.
Three common possibilities on the trooper: 1. Bad throttle position sensor (TPS) 2. Bad EGR valve or carbon build-up in EGR passage 3. Leak in intake manifold gasket If you can get a code reader to check for trouble codes the first 2 should trigger some related error.
Check the thermostat first. I had an intermittent overheating problem on my 02 for almost a year, changed the thermostat and it never happened again. If that doesn't work, secondly I would check the water pump.
check thermostat, first, then look for radiator leaks, hoses that might be leaking.
