Isuzu Trooper Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Safety Report | Feb 23, 2005
Reported on Feb 23, 2005
| PRIOR TO LEAVING ON TRIP FROM MINNESOTA TO MONTANA I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS FINE. JUST OUTSIDE BILLINGS, MT MY ENGINE MADE A LOUD BANGING SOUND FOLLOWED BY ENGINE POWER LOSS AND FINALLY THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. ZERO OIL REGISTERED IN THE ENGINE. DIAGNOSED AS A SEIZED CRANK BY THE ISUZU DEALERSHIP. 70,100 MILES AND A SEIZED ENGINE OUT OF WARRANTY SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED. $6,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE DOES NOT MAKE FISCAL SENSE GIVEN THE WHOLESALE VALUE OF TRUCK WAS $7500.*JB | |
