I think it was a 3 liter V6. At the time, Isuzu was being handled by GM in
North America, and like everything else GM touches, Isuzu on NA turned to poo.

Sheesh. Weird engine you had there. My 1993 bakkie is still going strong.
Std 4 cyl cross-flow engine. Clutch replaced at 200000Km. No other problems
yet.

Been there. Had a 1995 or so Trooper. Piece of crap vehicle.
The cylinders leaked oil into the spark plug wells (for some reason the
plugs were about 8 inches deep in the engine), and it had a shitty GM
transmission that not only fell apart (this goes to why friends don't
let friends buy GM), but caused the exhaust to be routed so close to the
starter that the heat fried it annually.
It was the second worst vehicle I've owned, the worst being a Pontiac
Grand Am (back to that GM and friends thing again).
