1986 Isuzu 4wd Trooper ll TURBO DIESEL WANTED
HELLO, I just purchased a 1986 Trooper ll with the 2.2turbo diesel. The good is: body is excellent, no rust, one owner,143k very clean, the BAD: engine: rod/bearing{s}. At 63k the rods went out, Isuzu provided the short block, he paid for the labor,then now at 143k pretty much same/same, at idle,engine sounds great, BUT, when you pick up the 'rpms' you then hear a slight rapping. SO, I'm looking for the impossible, a complete 2.2 turbo diesel engine, so I can switch out motors and then rebuild the original at my leisure. Now at e- bay, a guys from Florida has a 2.8 turbo diesel from japan, BUT HERES HIS STORY: he claims I can put his 2.8 in my trooper and it will bolt right up to my 5 speed tranny, without ANY modifications, no cross member issues no motor mount modsifications,SAYS NOTHING BUT: having the exhaust run on the right side since the 2.2 is on the left side, that's no problem at all. What I'm asking this forum is your excellent knowledge about where if any engines are AND ANY and all info regarding the switching of the 2.8 VS> the 2.2. Thank you in advance for helping, Norman/jiw395

Um....this is a mercedes forum.....I didn't even know Isuzu made a diesel truck for the usa.....
 If those engines fail every 60-80k perhaps its wiser to find a vehicle with a diesel thats a little more reliable??

Totally unrelated, but kinda not, sorry.
I saw this Isuzu Trooper at the beach once when I was surfing. The guy had taken white-out to the 'Isuzu Trooper' and turned it into the Isuzu Pooper. I will never grow up. I laughed for about ten minutes.

diesel switch
I did see a late 90's ('98 or '99 maybe) trooper that was converted to a 617 MB Turbodiesel engine.... I'm pretty sure you can convert ANYTHING given enough time and patience. I'd go for it.
