I guess it has something to do with GM being a part owner of Isuzu (maybe majority owner by now?) and there being so much technology sharing between the two. Regardless, the factory service manual definitely does refer to a "Delco engine management system" and most of the electrical parts under the hood say "Delco" on them (and are shared with various GM engines, e.g. the coil packs). Re reliability, I have the impression that the old GMC 3.1 in the first-generation Trooper is slow but rock-solid. The Isuzu 3.2 is much more powerful but a bit more fragile. It is also so noisy by nature that it's hard to hear the bad noises, or, more accurately, distinguish bad from good. Mine knocks a little under load, as if being lugged (but I'm in the right gear). Not sure if that's normal or if I have a bearing going. If the latter, I'd probably better start budgeting for a newer SUV of some kind. The Trooper fits my needs for a hauling/towing/off-road vehicle really nicely, but it is pretty tired and I'm not sure it's worth any major repair.
