I would love to pick-up a Isuzus diesel truck, but around here it is well known how long the engines last and the great mileage they get. So they command a high price ! I just refuse to pay $4000.00 to $5000.00 for a 30 to 35 year old truck !

The Isuzus diesel engine is one of the best if not "the" best car diesel out there (Mercedes is still probably number one) . My good buddy who is also a Master Mechanic and 3 others at the transit dept who work with me, also own the Isuzus diesels in trucks. They all swear by them and most have...

That' exactly how I mounted my hoses.

When the frame goes ( breaks, cracks, falls off) I usually call it "quites" on the vehicle and scrap it out. I actually had a Ford LTD Marquee that the rear frame fell off while driving it ! The whole rear-end (trunk and bumper) just kinda of fell down.

Replacing the fuel strainer is a smart idea. Most people forget all about that little filter. With the garbage that is in our fuels these days that filter gets quite the workout.

Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. I too am a licensed "ASE" certified Master Mechanic. Have been for 38 years now. All you had to say was legal reasons and I would understand. But since they did not come on all models of 1 ton trucks you could "legally" remove it.

Cucvrus, I'm wondering why you left the rear brake compensating valve in. In all the vehicles that I came across with this device it was nothing but trouble and did not allow full use of the rear brakes. In my own vehicle the rear brakes had never come on.

Your doing a "top notch" job there ! This truck should last another good 10 years plowing after this.

I don't mean to be a naysayer and since this vehicle belongs to a paying customer by all means go at it !

Hey ! I might be decrepit but I'm in better shape then that truck :shock: !!! If it was mine I would just put a bullet in it and put it out of it's misery !!!
