Scotty, long in the tooth. Didn't need a cosmetic appraisal like a used car salesman trying to get a dummy to buy a $500 POS. You should stop raving about specific survivor beaters, those survivors are not specific model representative
This truck is an excellent value, especially if you do routine maintenance yourself. Parts are inexpensive. I drove a 1996 S10 daily for about 15 years. Clocked 340,000 miles and it was still running when I sold her. Changed head gasket at 190K, 2nd engine at 295K. Drawbacks: 96 and earlier 2-bolt downpipe design kills gaskets prematurely and causes an exhaust leak. Fix is to get a header or exhaust manifold and 3-bolt downpipe from a later model. Need to drop the transmission to change the slave cylinder (happened @90K mi.). NV manual transmission is solid though. Clutch replaced twice. Headlight switch wears out so contacts get weak after constant use. My fix was to replace with toggles after replacing it twice. Currently drive a '92 Toyota and the S10 upholstery was more comfortable and the steel for the body is a thicker gauge. Both the 2.2L 4 cylinder and the 4.3 V6 Vortec are good reliable engines.
Just got my first car. 2003 Hyundai Elantra gls. Got it for $800 put $600 in parts and other maintenance stuff. And it’s a good car. Total of $1400 in it and it’s worth about $3000-$3300
I had a 99’ s-10 I bought for $5k with 31k miles back in 2001. I beat the hell out of that truck for 9yrs up in Michigan. I never had to replace anything but break pads and a battery. I sold it for $1500 after I beat the hell out of it and racked up 158k miles on it. It still ran like a dream. I always changed oil at 3k miles. Funny part is I see the truck driving around still.
Speaking of Isuzu, I remember when my dad used to have an Isuzu Rodeo Denver Max Plus pickup truck, with the 3.0-litre intercooled turbodiesel inline-4 engine.
I bought a cheap used Toyota pickup truck a little over 2 years ago, in that time it's been reliable and I've put a little over 20,000 miles on it. No rust, and everything works. Good deal!
The best of these s10s/Sonoma’s/hombres are the 2.2 4 cylinder 5 speed manual RWD trucks. So simple there’s hardly anything to fail, especially early ones without ABS/Airbags. I have a 94 base model extended cab with 237,000 miles.
I have a 1998 S10 with the 2.2 and a 5 speed. I had the same problem where I would have to crank her over for a little while until she would start. Once it started it ran like a champ though. I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and it pretty much solved the problem.
The best way to close the tailgate with those kind of latches is to pull the handle first and let it go once it’s closed, and also keep them lubricated.
I had a ‘96 S-10. I was the second owner at 19,000 miles. We towed our tent trailer everywhere. The truck had the 2.2 liter 4 cylinder with a 5 speed manual transmission. We traded it off with over 200,000 on it. Good truck overall.
@john probst the best car to get is a car that just keeps going and going and going to the point where you're pretty much tired of it because you never have to fix it which is part of owning a vehicle those are the truly loyal ones the ones that are so reliable you actually get tired of their reliability and go and get a Dodge or something so that way you actually have to fix it on occasion
Actually it was the 2.2 liter Ecotec. The iron duke was its predecessor and was 2.5 liter. My Ecotec worked hard pulling our trailer through mountainous areas, but it always came through.
In all fairness it was a GM. I've had 4 of the real Isuzu P/Us 87, 93, 91 and an 85. They always started with just a tick of the ignition key. I Loved those things.
Pat Randolph my dad had 2 of the real Isuzu’s too when I was younger lol one of them was even running on 2 cylinders for years he would commute and a hour to work that way lol
@@patrandolph4209 ive had over 70 Isuzus, mostly to part out. Great vehicles. I still have a 90 spacecab, 95 standard cab, 90 custom built crewcab longbed, and a 87 Pup.
Failed IAC? Sometimes they fail and people just meddle with the throttle set screw till it idles right at temp. Result can be not enough air at cold start.
Yes, and I bought a used B2000. Couldn't get out of its own way. Extended bed was nice, but it rusted out fast ( yes, I lived in Michigan). Traded for a new "94 S 10 which was also a lemon, POS.
B2000 and B2200 were made by Mazda and rebadged as Fords. Then in 1994, they switched to being built by Ford and being rebadged as Mazdas. Neither were fast, but the Fords didn't rust as quickly.
The other truck was the GMC Sonoma which was the S-15. The Isuzu Hombre, Chevy S-10, GMC Sonoma was built at the Shreveport, Louisiana assembly plant. Engine choices is the 2.2 litre in-line engine or a 4.3 litre V6. Both engines have electronic fuel injection.
I got a 2016 Colorado. It's a 2wd crew cab 2.8 inline 4 diesel. It gets 35+ miles to the gallon. put 80000 miles on it in 4 years and no problems the diesel is a great engine even though it has all the modern diesel emissions crap
I bought a new Isuzu 4x4 here in Quebec in 1992. Loved that little pickup. Bulletproof and got good gas mileage. If it was still available I would buy another. Had to trade for a minivan when the family started.
my dad had an 83! When dad totaled it, he took an 85 chevey S10, and bought a worn out 83 Isuzus, took the engine out and put it in his 1985 S10! Drove it for years that way!
I had limited funds for a car. Bought a 98 Toyota Sienna, high mileage 198,xxx but overall seems to be running pretty good. Changed oil, and it’s been zipping around. Overall I like the van so far. Ditched all the rear seats, so it’s good for a conversion, or a truck van. Put some new radiator fluid on, and started it without the cap, and the radiator fluid didn’t shoot out everywhere so the baskets are good.
Up here in Canada they were total rust buckets. Opted for a D21 instead and did OK. Still running strong and frame is like new. Holes in the rocker panels though but floor is mint.
I love my little 96 s10 with the 2.2L 4cyl with the 5 speed manual, baught it in 2009 for 1500 bucks, didn't look like much, beat up ranch truck from kearny ne, and has never let me down, went cross country in it multiple times, put it through hell, raced it, hauled with it, you name it I probably did it, best little truck I still own, and wont get rid of it till it can't possibly be fixed, such as totaled in a wreck
The truck's an Isuzu and I thought it resembled an S-10. I learned how to drive manual with my dad's 1989 Chevy S-10. No power steering and the clutch was very tight and heavy. But I'm impressed its starter never went out considering my dad teaching myself and my three older siblings; by the way I'd say I was the one who stalled less than everybody else. :) The S-10 set me up for 1989 Nissan Pickup which had a lot easier clutch but slightly trickier shift lever.
Had a 98 S-10 with a 2.2 and 5 speed. Only thing I didn't like about it was that it was horrible on interstates. Would only go above 70 downhill with a tailwind. Was a good commuter though. Sold it to a junkyard for $250 and made a profit!
@@flyingjlotlizard9993 junk is fine by me, as long as it'll haul stuff across the yard. I wouldn't really even consider buying an automatic anyway, so there's extra reliability in that regard I spose
My brother gave his 1975 Chevy Luv pickup to my Dad. My Dad wanted more power so I installed a sbc with a 350th and a 9" rear. My Dad was picky and wanted the factory gauges to work. Using brass threaded plugs, I drilled the centers for the metric sensors and the gauges worked.
In 1990, I bought an '87 Isuzu LS pickup with 37K for $4700. It was my most reliable vehicle ever. For 20 years, outside of normal maintenance, it only needed an Idler arm and a firewall repair where the clutch-cable passed through. After 2010, it started needing a lot more work. Replaced it in 2014 with a '96 base Tacoma with 71K, and no first or third gear, for $400. The gearbox turned out to be an easy fix, but after 18+ years it did need brakes, shocks and eventually a clutch. But I'm not complaining. With only 84K on it now, It may outlast me!
My brother had a light blue 87 that outlasted him and became mine. AC was Forever Totally Ice Cold until 288K (30 MPG @ 85 MPH - hrs on end). Next I got a 93, then a 91, and finally an 85. I've loved every one, the older ones were so light I could pushstart them on level ground while sitting, and just left leg out the door to push.
Used pickups go for a premium here in southern Nevada. Has to be like that in the whole southwest. Even old beat to crap ones sell quick for more than you think they should.
Still driving my V6 1999 Izuzu in Australia, coming up to half a million km. I only replaced the radiator, battery and brakes. I service it every 6 months, and I trust it. Apparently it has a truck gearbox. Ill drive it till it dies.
Having owned two 2nd-gen S-10s with that engine, I can tell you not only what they'll average for mileage (18.5 w/2200 & automatic) but the timing chain set should be replaced around 100k-mi., and should only bereplaced with the GM OEM set--using every piece included! (You really don't want to overlook the oil galley plug w/lubricating orifice)
Yea, mine started clacking badly then finally broke at 60,000. Got another one from Auto Zone and it was clacking in about a month. Also, the windshield wipers started failing; I had to replace the circuit board. And the fuel gauge failed as well.
Scotty , I had one of those isuzu trucks up in Kodiak, Alaska. The thing ran like a champ. It was all rusted out , beat to heck in every quarter panel , but it just kept on going, fantastic little truck.
Don't know the Estimas but I believe you since its a Toyota. Just sold my Moms 98 Corolla with 283,4xx Miles. It was so quiet and still had a quick start even with a cheapo battery.
About that Q&A about a lean code, if you run too lean for too long you can cause irreparable or more expensive repairs later down the line. For starters, if it's really bad you might start overheating your engine. Down the line, you'll start burning pistons, exhaust valves and sometimes even heads (though that's more common in much older cars). A lean code could suggest a vacuum leak (which is what the mechanic that suggested an intake manifold gasket had in mind). In order to find that leak, spray brake cleaner around the air intake system until the engine revs up from sucking up the flammable gasses, then you'll know you're near the prime area.
i was a custodian in 2011, I had a white Isuzu reg cab with stick. as my grounds vehicle. the truck was abused as hell but still did its job. abused didn't even begin to describe it
This was the only decent reliable vehicle sold as a Holden here in Australia. I know someone who still drives his today and still working perfect. Has an Isuzu motor here.
What a lovely looking truck! To be honest, I am not a fan of big pickups, but that small workhorse definitely has a good look. Too bad I can't have one of these due to weather conditions in my country.
I had a 1992 Dodge Ram 50 stick shift was actually a Mitsubishi for $10, 000. New. Was a great truck, even hauled my 2 horse trailer no problem. Always sorry I sold it. Drove it for 17 years.
In Australia our equivalent was the Isuzu D-Max and the Holden Rodeo (later Colorado). When the two were compared together, I always refer the Holden badged vehicle to the poor man’s or budget Isuzu
This was the same case with the Mazda B2200 (2.3L Lima 4 Cylinder) B3000 was the (3.0L Vulcan V-6) just a rebranded for Ford Ranger pickup sold in Mazda dealerships.
I had a 79 long bed LUV truck and put a V6 Buick engine and 3 speed auto with overdrive and a/c. Only problem was I was wearing out u-joints because of the extra up but once a year wasn't too bad for. The fun I had with it. Not much in the curves but it was fast in a straight line, ahh misspent youth!.
A thing that a lot of people don't know about the front fascia of the Isuzu Hombre, is that is basicaly a Brazilian S-10 front end. You can buy the headlights for examble, brand new from Brazil, the cost between 80-90 dollars a pair.
I just love me some Scotty Kilmer he's like my best friend. He he he it doesn't matter that he doesn't know me. He would know me if I lived near him because I would pay him to fix my stuff
Here in Tunisia Isuzu are equiped with diesel engine 4 Cylinders 2.5 liter and they run for ever. Believe in one isuzu at the company that I worked for it has 1.120.000 km yes yes more than one million with the original engine and transmission, manual transmission ***** Here we say a car is reliable like isuzu***** Many Isuzu transport about 2.5 Tonnes everyday even though that the factory mention that they should not exceed 1.2 Tonnes as max transported weight They are so popular at the point that we have in Tunisia a factory of assembling isuzu that it has never satisfied the demand we have to wait for about 6 months to buy one, and people import them from SAUDI ARABIA it is better than waitibg for 6 months or more ....
Hi Sir.... I want to say THANK YOU!!! Because of you I bought a Honda highlander 2010 limited edition. Ur videos guided me to choose my vehicle. Thank you very much!!Love from Montreal Canada 😀😀
I had a 1988 and put 200.000 miles on it before the engine went out. Had a 1994 Isuzu trooper for years. It’s still running today and never left me stranded
Another thing to check for on the rumbling noise on the Acura RDX is, check underneath the vehicle and make sure the front air dam has not come loose from bumping a curb or something. Once you get up to interstate speed ,just the air flowing around it will cause it to vibrate. Make sure all plastic pieces are secure to the vehicle.
I loved my 95 Rodeo in 4wd even had a 5 year 60000 warranty. Honda bought them out to make their first SUV the Pilot. Was built solid and only thing that fail was a faulty alternator regulator and the starter
Had an Isuzu trooper diesel back in the 80’s. Stay away blew up at 75k miles. Connecting rod went through the oil pan. Stay with gas. Changed out motor Isuzu wouldn’t cover repairs. got rid of it. Parts where hard to find as well. BEWARE ISUZU. LEARNED MY LESSON.
Scotty? I've learned when it comes to codes? As long as it isn't damaging anything? If it's not broke don't fix it ! Kind of like transmissions?The running fine ! Don't mess with it !
Scorty, I'm 71, been wrenching since I built my first 301 cuin.chevy before I had a license,got it on 16th birthday, in a 64' Ranchero, I love your approach, never diagrred with you lazaifare? Approach. I always say I drove junk, I know what that is...I'm still wrenching, mostly on neighbors cars. They are amazed, but I tell them, hey it's still a car, and the basic things I learned still apply.. electronics although help on more complex problems. The problem is still basic. My ex bought a new 88' 300 zx 2+2, and it had a horrible rumbling noise, went to 6 dealers, had the car 13 wks, changed everything except tires, ive seen this problem and said change the tires, the dealer said no ...they finally got the car back, and bought a 87 Maxima. Way better..oh I traded the wife in too, cost me a ton on depreciation..lol.. how come they go up in value?.. keep making videos... I love them...
Had a 96 Chevy S10. The day after I got it, the relay shorted out, then the fuel line burst open, spewing gasoline in my engine compartment. The extended cab seats were horrible, forcing me to sit all the way up and contort my arm in ways it should not be contorted in order to shift. I miss that truck...
The 4.3L V6 in my friend's 2000 Sonoma lasted him well over 225,000 miles, and those numbers aren't even that impressive compared to the ones some people have had. The startup issue could just be a dirty throttle body. Those old Chevy trucks and W body cars were notorious for starting and dying like that and having to give them gas.
Those old boxy isuzu trucks made 1989 through 1994 were very high quality, almost as good as toyota. I still have a 1994 Isuzu 4x4 truck...the volvo of trucks. Simple, boxy and good...like volvo.
We had an S10 that went up to 450k miles. Im positive with the way she ran it could've gotten up much more if it hadn't been totalled. R.I.P Roberta. The best Chevy s 10 ever.
I have 2 Isuzu Rodeos..a 96' and 97'. The 96' has 482,000 miles...3.2L engine...valve guides started leaking oil into cylinders...still runs. The 97' has 2.6L 4 cyl engine...5 speed manual...gets ~24mpg...runs great. Got it for $2,000 4 yrs ago...still looks like brand new. These cars are very easy & cheap to maintain...I'll never buy a new car ever again...too expensive.
I'm from Tunisia in the late 80s ISUZU starts to sale pic up trucks here, they provide the new trucks with a spare engine "yeah a spare engine", the original engines can go million Km without being touched, you can spot people carrying their things on those trucks till these days.
Fun fact: The front clip of the Isuzu Hombre was used in South America for the same generation of Chevy S10 and Blazers rather than the more classic GMC and Chevy front with the rectangular headlights and big grille
1000 shoot, 800$ got me a 1996 ranger, over 500,000 miles but still ran like a champ for 2 years before I sold it, parts were cheap and even when they would fail I could still drive it until I got it fixed, miss that truck deeply
First time I've ever heard him say something halfway decent about a Chevy lol I have a 97 s10 it was the last year with the sealed beam headlights same body style as this one manual transmission 257000 miles right now still driving it today

How much did it cost you at those miles? There’s a 1991 with 170k that I’m interested in. I know prices might be different now

I bought a new Isuzu 4x4 here in Quebec in 1992. Loved that little pickup. Bulletproof and got good gas mileage. If it was still available I would buy another. Had to trade for a minivan when the family started.
The “LUV” stood for “light utility vehicle”
GraV Chevrolet was competing with Toyota, Datsun, Mazda. Also Ford had a truck called a Courier which was a rebadged Mazda B series truck.
I fell in LUV with this comment HAHAHAHAHA
BrianLego98 Ba Dum Tshhhh
@@GraV21 I call this pun very funny
I spotted several four door LUVs in Mexico years back.
1:29 " It was 11,500 Bucks, BRAND SPANKIN NEW"- good ol Scotty 😂
LUV Scottys attitude in this vid. Nothin like a good ol Chevy beater 😎
my dad had an 83! When dad totaled it, he took an 85 chevey S10, and bought a worn out 83 Isuzus, took the engine out and put it in his 1985 S10! Drove it for years that way!
I had limited funds for a car. Bought a 98 Toyota Sienna, high mileage 198,xxx but overall seems to be running pretty good. Changed oil, and it’s been zipping around. Overall I like the van so far. Ditched all the rear seats, so it’s good for a conversion, or a truck van. Put some new radiator fluid on, and started it without the cap, and the radiator fluid didn’t shoot out everywhere so the baskets are good.
Just purchased a 97 hombre 5 speed runs like a champ still in 2021 I love it
Scotty... You crack me up! The dead uncle story and your jumpy videos keep me coming back day after day.
Up here in Canada they were total rust buckets. Opted for a D21 instead and did OK. Still running strong and frame is like new. Holes in the rocker panels though but floor is mint.
I love my little 96 s10 with the 2.2L 4cyl with the 5 speed manual, baught it in 2009 for 1500 bucks, didn't look like much, beat up ranch truck from kearny ne, and has never let me down, went cross country in it multiple times, put it through hell, raced it, hauled with it, you name it I probably did it, best little truck I still own, and wont get rid of it till it can't possibly be fixed, such as totaled in a wreck
Fixed my ABS myself in my 2000, pulled the module apart and soldered it up
The truck's an Isuzu and I thought it resembled an S-10.
I learned how to drive manual with my dad's 1989 Chevy S-10. No power steering and the clutch was very tight and heavy. But I'm impressed its starter never went out considering my dad teaching myself and my three older siblings; by the way I'd say I was the one who stalled less than everybody else. :) The S-10 set me up for 1989 Nissan Pickup which had a lot easier clutch but slightly trickier shift lever.
Had a 98 S-10 with a 2.2 and 5 speed. Only thing I didn't like about it was that it was horrible on interstates.
Would only go above 70 downhill with a tailwind. Was a good commuter though. Sold it to a junkyard for $250 and made a profit!
What great timing! I was looking to buy one of these yesterday but wasn't clued up enough to know what I was getting into, but now I am
They are junk I've owned them. Especially the automatics
@@flyingjlotlizard9993 junk is fine by me, as long as it'll haul stuff across the yard. I wouldn't really even consider buying an automatic anyway, so there's extra reliability in that regard I spose
@@fintandavies1977 spend the same money and buy a old nissan or toyota truck
Wont be same money bc everyone thinks the same way harder to find also it's even a novelty to have a ol Toyota
I bought me a 97 Oldsmobile bravada with 212k miles and it’s been good to me. Easy and cheap to fix. Great trucks/suv if you take care of them
Tell him I’ll give him 200 bucks an a case of cold beer. 😂
The Pitt in your photo looks just like mine, only a few years younger!
My brother gave his 1975 Chevy Luv pickup to my Dad. My Dad wanted more power so I installed a sbc with a 350th and a 9" rear. My Dad was picky and wanted the factory gauges to work. Using brass threaded plugs, I drilled the centers for the metric sensors and the gauges worked.
In 1990, I bought an '87 Isuzu LS pickup with 37K for $4700. It was my most reliable vehicle ever. For 20 years, outside of normal maintenance, it only needed an Idler arm and a firewall repair where the clutch-cable passed through. After 2010, it started needing a lot more work.
Replaced it in 2014 with a '96 base Tacoma with 71K, and no first or third gear, for $400.
The gearbox turned out to be an easy fix, but after 18+ years it did need brakes, shocks and eventually a clutch. But I'm not complaining. With only 84K on it now, It may outlast me!
My brother had a light blue 87 that outlasted him and became mine. AC was Forever Totally Ice Cold until 288K (30 MPG @ 85 MPH - hrs on end). Next I got a 93, then a 91, and finally an 85. I've loved every one, the older ones were so light I could pushstart them on level ground while sitting, and just left leg out the door to push.
Used pickups go for a premium here in southern Nevada. Has to be like that in the whole southwest. Even old beat to crap ones sell quick for more than you think they should.
Still driving my V6 1999 Izuzu in Australia, coming up to half a million km.
I only replaced the radiator, battery and brakes.
I service it every 6 months, and I trust it.
Apparently it has a truck gearbox.
Ill drive it till it dies.
I have a 85 s10 with the same Isuzu powertrain as the Chevy luv. Came from the factory that way. Runs excellent with almost 200K miles on it.
I had a 1994 GMC Sonoma 2.2 that had 346k miles on it before it got rear ended
Having owned two 2nd-gen S-10s with that engine, I can tell you not only what they'll average for mileage (18.5 w/2200 & automatic) but the timing chain set should be replaced around 100k-mi., and should only bereplaced with the GM OEM set--using every piece included! (You really don't want to overlook the oil galley plug w/lubricating orifice)
Yea, mine started clacking badly then finally broke at 60,000. Got another one from Auto Zone and it was clacking in about a month. Also, the windshield wipers started failing; I had to replace the circuit board. And the fuel gauge failed as well.
I'm starting to recognize your neighborhood after watching you drive around. I also can tell when you're going to make those left turns.
Scotty , I had one of those isuzu trucks up in Kodiak, Alaska.
The thing ran like a champ. It was all rusted out , beat to heck in every quarter panel , but it just kept on going, fantastic little truck.
Hey Scotty, keep the vids coming in 2020.. I’m driving a 96 Toyota estima & she’s doing me proud
Don't know the Estimas but I believe you since its a Toyota. Just sold my Moms 98 Corolla with 283,4xx Miles. It was so quiet and still had a quick start even with a cheapo battery.
About that Q&A about a lean code, if you run too lean for too long you can cause irreparable or more expensive repairs later down the line. For starters, if it's really bad you might start overheating your engine. Down the line, you'll start burning pistons, exhaust valves and sometimes even heads (though that's more common in much older cars).
A lean code could suggest a vacuum leak (which is what the mechanic that suggested an intake manifold gasket had in mind). In order to find that leak, spray brake cleaner around the air intake system until the engine revs up from sucking up the flammable gasses, then you'll know you're near the prime area.
i was a custodian in 2011, I had a white Isuzu reg cab with stick. as my grounds vehicle. the truck was abused as hell but still did its job. abused didn't even begin to describe it
I had a 1997 Isuzu hombre pickup truck! Mine had a manual transmission, I had it for 16 years, and I drove the hell out of it!!
This was the only decent reliable vehicle sold as a Holden here in Australia. I know someone who still drives his today and still working perfect. Has an Isuzu motor here.
"What type of truck is that?" "Isuzu" "Gazuntite!! Now what type of truck is that?"
What a lovely looking truck! To be honest, I am not a fan of big pickups, but that small workhorse definitely has a good look. Too bad I can't have one of these due to weather conditions in my country.
I had a 1992 Dodge Ram 50 stick shift was actually a Mitsubishi
for $10, 000. New. Was a great truck, even hauled my 2 horse trailer no problem. Always sorry I sold it. Drove it for 17 years.
In Australia our equivalent was the Isuzu D-Max and the Holden Rodeo (later Colorado). When the two were compared together, I always refer the Holden badged vehicle to the poor man’s or budget Isuzu
"Hi, I'm Joe Isuzu, and you can buy this pickup for one million dollars!"
Mark H. I do remember that commercial very well.
David Leisure was wondeful
Love my 1999 Isuzu Rodeo, which Honda rebadged as the Passport.
This was the same case with the Mazda B2200 (2.3L Lima 4 Cylinder) B3000 was the (3.0L Vulcan V-6) just a rebranded for Ford Ranger pickup sold in Mazda dealerships.
I had a 79 long bed LUV truck and put a V6 Buick engine and 3 speed auto with overdrive and a/c. Only problem was I was wearing out u-joints because of the extra up but once a year wasn't too bad for. The fun I had with it. Not much in the curves but it was fast in a straight line, ahh misspent youth!.
A thing that a lot of people don't know about the front fascia of the Isuzu Hombre, is that is basicaly a Brazilian S-10 front end. You can buy the headlights for examble, brand new from Brazil, the cost between 80-90 dollars a pair.
I just love me some Scotty Kilmer he's like my best friend. He he he it doesn't matter that he doesn't know me. He would know me if I lived near him because I would pay him to fix my stuff
Here in Tunisia Isuzu are equiped with diesel engine 4 Cylinders 2.5 liter and they run for ever. Believe in one isuzu at the company that I worked for it has 1.120.000 km yes yes more than one million with the original engine and transmission, manual transmission ***** Here we say a car is reliable like isuzu*****
Many Isuzu transport about 2.5 Tonnes everyday even though that the factory mention that they should not exceed 1.2 Tonnes as max transported weight
They are so popular at the point that we have in Tunisia a factory of assembling isuzu that it has never satisfied the demand we have to wait for about 6 months to buy one, and people import them from SAUDI ARABIA it is better than waitibg for 6 months or more ....
I have a 1995 gmc Sonoma original trans and engine. Just passed 310,000 miles.
Classic Scotty Kilmer, informal and understandable. ...”that’s the fuel injectors, ehh they get like that”. Now I’m more informed. Thanks Scotty!
Hi Sir.... I want to say THANK YOU!!! Because of you I bought a Honda highlander 2010 limited edition. Ur videos guided me to choose my vehicle.
Thank you very much!!Love from Montreal Canada 😀😀
I'm owned of 1998 GMC Sonoma and its a workhorse!!! more solid and better build than Ford Ranger!!!
America First The Chevy S-10 and the Isuzu Hombre were built in the same assembly plant in Shreveport, Louisiana just like your GMC Sonoma.
GMC used to be lil stronger trucks but not those years lol I own 2000 Sierra
Matter of opinion there. I still have my 1999 Ford Ranger.
I had a 1988 and put 200.000 miles on it before the engine went out. Had a 1994 Isuzu trooper for years. It’s still running today and never left me stranded
Another thing to check for on the rumbling noise on the Acura RDX is, check underneath the vehicle and make sure the front air dam has not come loose from bumping a curb or something. Once you get up to interstate speed ,just the air flowing around it will cause it to vibrate. Make sure all plastic pieces are secure to the vehicle.
We are all quarantined. So now is the time to watch Scotty videos from the beginning.
Yep, except for the engine, that looks just like my '95 Sonoma under the hood. The dash is very similar too.
I loved my 95 Rodeo in 4wd even had a 5 year 60000 warranty. Honda bought them out to make their first SUV the Pilot. Was built solid and only thing that fail was a faulty alternator regulator and the starter
My first car was a 1991 Isuzu trooper ii it came with the 2.6l 4ZE1 Motor with the 5 speed. Boy do I miss that car.
Had an Isuzu trooper diesel back in the 80’s. Stay away blew up at 75k miles. Connecting rod went through the oil pan. Stay with gas. Changed out motor Isuzu wouldn’t cover repairs.
got rid of it. Parts where hard to find as well. BEWARE ISUZU. LEARNED MY LESSON.
I've got a Chevy S10 96 with same milage. Got the 4.3 with five speed manual. Runs great
I've seen plenty of Isuzus in the Philippines. All had bulletproof engines but the rest of the body (panels and door handles) wear out pretty easily.
Scotty? I've learned when it comes to codes? As long as it isn't damaging anything? If it's not broke don't fix it !
Kind of like transmissions?The running fine ! Don't mess with it !
Scorty, I'm 71, been wrenching since I built my first 301 cuin.chevy before I had a license,got it on 16th birthday, in a 64' Ranchero, I love your approach, never diagrred with you lazaifare? Approach. I always say I drove junk, I know what that is...I'm still wrenching, mostly on neighbors cars. They are amazed, but I tell them, hey it's still a car, and the basic things I learned still apply.. electronics although help on more complex problems. The problem is still basic. My ex bought a new 88' 300 zx 2+2, and it had a horrible rumbling noise, went to 6 dealers, had the car 13 wks, changed everything except tires, ive seen this problem and said change the tires, the dealer said no ...they finally got the car back, and bought a 87 Maxima. Way better..oh I traded the wife in too, cost me a ton on depreciation..lol.. how come they go up in value?.. keep making videos... I love them...
Had a 96 Chevy S10. The day after I got it, the relay shorted out, then the fuel line burst open, spewing gasoline in my engine compartment. The extended cab seats were horrible, forcing me to sit all the way up and contort my arm in ways it should not be contorted in order to shift.
I miss that truck...
My first vehicle was a isuzu amigo. That thing was a tank!
I just bought one a month ago and I absolutely love it . I’m getting it painted dark charcoal grey next month
The 4.3L V6 in my friend's 2000 Sonoma lasted him well over 225,000 miles, and those numbers aren't even that impressive compared to the ones some people have had. The startup issue could just be a dirty throttle body. Those old Chevy trucks and W body cars were notorious for starting and dying like that and having to give them gas.
Those old boxy isuzu trucks made 1989 through 1994 were very high quality, almost as good as toyota. I still have a 1994 Isuzu 4x4 truck...the volvo of trucks. Simple, boxy and good...like volvo.
Watching Scotty while visiting patients with my wife - part of the essential jobs in SF Bay area. Keep safe everyone! Below 150 comments!
@@liberals_destroy_everythin2497 Will Do! LOL
We had an S10 that went up to 450k miles. Im positive with the way she ran it could've gotten up much more if it hadn't been totalled. R.I.P Roberta. The best Chevy s 10 ever.
This guy's just got a ton of energy so I subscribe just because of that!
Whoa! I live right in between Rochester and Medina ny myself!
I have 2 Isuzu Rodeos..a 96' and 97'.
The 96' has 482,000 miles...3.2L engine...valve guides started leaking oil into cylinders...still runs.
The 97' has 2.6L 4 cyl engine...5 speed manual...gets ~24mpg...runs great. Got it for $2,000 4 yrs ago...still looks like brand new.
These cars are very easy & cheap to maintain...I'll never buy a new car ever again...too expensive.
I'm from Tunisia in the late 80s ISUZU starts to sale pic up trucks here, they provide the new trucks with a spare engine "yeah a spare engine", the original engines can go million Km without being touched, you can spot people carrying their things on those trucks till these days.
I had one and never changed the old and drove the heck out of it... never had any issues
Fun fact: The front clip of the Isuzu Hombre was used in South America for the same generation of Chevy S10 and Blazers rather than the more classic GMC and Chevy front with the rectangular headlights and big grille
I bought a 99 S10 2.2 5 speed for 1,400. First thing I did was buy a 600$ drop kit on it. 😂 I love it as a daily
This was my first truck. 1996, i4 manual, single cab. Same color. Great little thing. 170,000 miles. Bought it for $1,600
These things have only gone up in price in Texas, the ones that are 1-1.5k now are ones that don't run
The fenders, hood and bed are different on a Isuzu hombre vs. a Chevy S10.
The hard start is the result of leaky injectors.
1000 shoot, 800$ got me a 1996 ranger, over 500,000 miles but still ran like a champ for 2 years before I sold it, parts were cheap and even when they would fail I could still drive it until I got it fixed, miss that truck deeply
First time I've ever heard him say something halfway decent about a Chevy lol I have a 97 s10 it was the last year with the sealed beam headlights same body style as this one manual transmission 257000 miles right now still driving it today
