- Notes
- Engine
At the time that this Trooper was made, GM owned 49% of Isuzu. Thus this hybrid was created. This is good, because the GM motor that is in this Trooper is reliable andparts are readily available and inexpensive. This engine runs strong and has virtually no fluid leaks. I recently moved from Colorado to Oregon, with the entire Trooper loaded to the gills with my stuff. The 900 mile drive was no problem and the engine felt stronger throughout the drive. Even fully loaded, lifted, and running 35"s, I probably averaged around 18mpg. And, of course this Trooper is perfect for the GM 3.4 swap. That was on my To-Do list also. This Trooper with a 3.4 would be one super trail rig. Lastly, the Trooper has passed the latest Oregon DEQ Vehicle Emissions Test.
[/*] - Steering/Handling
See any steering dampners on the linkage? No way! Steering dampeners are bandages on underlying steering design problems. From the very first drive after the SAS this Trooper has tracked straight and true. Never any death wobble. In fact if you feel the steering drift a little to the right, or to the left, it's probably a result of the crowned road surface. If the road is pan flat, the Trooper will go true straight with no hands on the steering wheel. I also believe that the Centramatic dynamic wheel balancers contribute to the smoothness of handling at highway speeds.
[/*] - Coil Sprung SAS Build
Many of the SAS build items I priced above. But, of course that is just a fraction of the cost that was expended to achieve this quality build. First, all the raw steel cost quite a lot. Also, none of those prices include fabrication and/or installation fees. Have you recently priced gear installations? Have you priced a full axle swap lately?! I spent hundreds of hours designing and fabbing my coil sprung SAS build. It was never easy, but I am proud of what I accomplished. I think that you would also be proud to place your unique signature with your choices that would refine this great Trooper.
