I just recently puschased a 2000 Isuzu Trooper 3.5L. I have heard that Isuzu will no longer be in the U.S. market after 2006, can anyone confirm this?
If this is true I am greatly concerned about my resale value. I have also been told that the engines are prone to premature failure. When I purchased it I new about the engines oil consumption problem, but figured as long as I kept oil in it it would be fine. I have only had the vehicle about two months and already experienced one mechanical failure (range finder/transmission),and I am now experiencing a minor pinging sound during acceleration on hills. It sounds like a low grade fuel ping, but I am using the specified fuel. I think I should not be having these problems with only 40,000 miles on it, and am considering purchasing a replacement. Any input would be greatly apreciated.
