Question by ebobo33: Are Isuzu parts hard to find and/or expensive?
I am looking at a 1990 Isuzu 4×4 pickup. They want $ 1600. It has zero rust but runs a little rough and has some oil on the motor, 187k miles. I don’t see many Isuzus anymore and need to know if parts are readily available because I know it’s going to need something. Any other info on this vehicle would be helpful too. Thanks

My ex-wife had one when we first got together. It was noisy and rough riding, but it had over 160,000 miles on it and was very dependable. I have to give it credit for being tough. She rarely bothered to check the oil, much less get it changed. Someone is probably still driving that old heap. The only significant problem she ever had was a wiring harness meltdown, caused by a bad install on a cheap radio.

I have a 1995 Isuzu Rodeo, V6 automatic transmission, 3.2L 2WD.

It will tick for long periods of time and then go away for about 20 to 30 minutes then start up again.

I have changed the oil and the fluids are tapped off.

Isuzu Motors and Mitsubishi Corporation earlier announced the establishment of a joint venture called the Isuzu Automotive Europe GmbH (IAE). According to the automakers, the newly-founded system is aimed at expanding sales in Europe. This could be done by increasing the operational efficiency and strengthening the sales framework in the given territory.

IAE’s initial capitalization is 2.4 million euro or about 370 million yen. Isuzu and Mitsubishi will be both contributing 50 percent of the mentioned amount. The automakers have jointly deployed distributors in Benelux, Spain/Portugal, and Germany/Austria to set up sales channels. However, sales management and marketing for these markets will be carried out independently by different Isuzu companies and branches. Isuzu will be the supplier of light-duty trucks while Isuzu Operations Thailand Co., Ltd. will deliver pickup trucks.

The integration of the sales channels for light-duty trucks and pickup trucks will etch a remarkable milestone for the automakers. In view of the joint venture, Isuzu Operations Thailand and Isuzu will start to outsource IAE distributors’ management, market information collection, and new markets development. With the said venture existing, Isuzu and Mitsubishi expect to double the sales of light-duty trucks and pickup trucks in the European market from 16,000 units to 32,000 units in a span of three years.

Isuzu previously denied the rumor that it is asking General Motors to pull out of two joint ventures that produce diesel engines and replace the U.S. auto maker with a new partner, Toyota. “There is no discussion about this,” Isuzu spokesman Kouitsu Mabuchi said.

It can also be recalled that Nihon Keizai Shimbun business daily earlier reported Isuzu would ask former top shareholder GM to sell the 60 percent stakes it holds in DMAX Ltd. and Isuzu Motors Polska Sp. in Poland. The paper also reported Isuzu President Yoshinori Ida would propose the plan to GM Chief Executive Rick Wagoner. Eventually, the planned partnership of the automakers came into reality and the result was a powerful 6.6-liter V8 diesel engine. The latter was produced at DMAX and is mounted on the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-sized pickup trucks. On the other hand, the 1.7-liter engines in Poland were used to fuel several cars under the Opel brand.

The paper also added that Isuzu and Toyota would continue to supply GM. However, Toyota is planning to use the plants in the future to serve European and American auto demands as the market for diesel-powered vehicles expand.

Aside from joint ventures, Isuzu is also concentrating on producing state-of-the-art vehicles. It boasts of the i-Series pickup truck line that made its debut at the New York International Auto Show in 2005. The i-Series replaced Hombre, which has been out of production since 2000. i-Series, which shares same platform with GMs midsize pickups, is built at Shreveport plant in Louisiana. Said plant produces Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon.

The automaker, which is famed for its quality California Isuzu auto body parts, is absorbed at boosting its i-Series sales. Since its introduction, up until February last year, Isuzu just sold 1,377 units of the i-Series. This information was divulged by Automotive News.

This year, Isuzu set forth 2 additional vehicles for the i-Series – the i-290 – 2.9 L Atlas LLV I4 and the i-370 – 3.7 L Atlas LLR I5. With the active ventures of the automaker, it is expected that the sales of i-Series and other Isuzu vehicles will be brought to the next level.

The largest junk removal company in Vancouver, British Columbia, 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, partnered with Japanese commercial vehicle and heavy truck manufacturer Isuzu to test vehicles on the use of biodiesel. The Isuzu Commercial Truck of America recently announced that 1-800-GOT-JUNK? will be the first fleet in the country to test biodiesel in its fleet.

The biodiesel test program will run for six months, after which, the two companies will study the effect of using biodiesel on 1-800-GOT-JUNK?’s truck fleet. Ten junk removal trucks were selected to use biodiesel for six months on different climate areas across the United States and Canada.

As early as today though, both companies expect that the outcome will be positive and the junk removal company will permanently switch to using biodiesel on their trucks instead of petroleum diesel. According to the junk removal company, they have over 1,000 Isuzu N Series and GMC W Series trucks in their fleet.

1-800-GOT-JUNK?’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, Brian Scudamore, pointed out that their effort to test biodiesel on their trucks is an indication of their dedication to help protect the environment. “This test will launch our new Green Emissions Program,” says Scudamore. “We have always had a strong environmental conscience and have prided ourselves on cutting-edge recycling efforts. The growth of our business means it’s time to take environmental initiatives to the next level,” he added.

Biodiesel is an equivalent to petroleum diesel but is made from biological sources such as vegetable oils. One clear advantage of using biodiesel is that it comes from a renewable source of energy. The widespread use of biodiesel can also reduces the energy dependence of the United States and Canada on foreign oil.

Due to the fact that it comes from virgin oil feedstock like rapeseed and soybean, it can be produced domestically. Another advantage of using biodiesel is that it is priced lower than petroleum diesel while providing the same amount of power output which can be enhanced further with the use of the Isuzu cold air intake system for the Isuzu trucks operated by the junk removal company.

The first of the ten biodiesel powered junk removal trucks was unveiled last month at the Pacific Economic Summit. During the unveiling of the vehicle, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger pointed out in his keynote address that the use of biodiesel by the truck “would cut greenhouse gas emission by thirty to forty percent”.

By using exhaust filtration technologies, the truck produces less carbon dioxide than trucks running on petroleum fuel. The use of diesel fuel in the United States has not been popular in decades due to its reputation of producing too much noise and too much black soot. New technologies though has made new diesel engines as smooth operating as gasoline engines. With the use of filtration devices and biodiesel, the production of greenhouse gas is significantly reduced compared to previous generations of diesel engines.

Isuzu is confident that the testing will promote the use of biodiesel not only on fleets but also on passenger diesel vehicles. “Isuzu is excited to participate with 1-800-GOT-JUNK? in this important test,” says Todd Bloom, the vice president for marketing at General Motors Isuzu Commercial Trucks. “We feel that biodiesel fuel has the potential to play an important role in lowering emissions, as well as reducing our dependence on foreign oil.”
