hi guys
have the 95 bighorn 3.1 TD plasair 4gj2. 270,000 km and the turbo is going to poo itself soon. couple of oil leaks, one from under the intake maifold. new turbo is $1000 + fitting. asked the machinic to give it a look at before wasting money on a lost cause. machinic told the wife when she took it for me for wof that it would cost alot as time passes. he admitted isuzus are not his fav brand but said he was being proffesnial in his apprasial as he does alot of work for my brothers company.
how much is a compression test, would this be definitive answer?
how many kms do you think these engines and gearboxes can do. it has been used for offroading, mostly by the previous owner ( bought a lemon in that sence)
i love the truck but commonsense has to provail (and the couch is not that nice to sleep on) but dont want to make the wrong descion. help
