if you have a way of testing commpresson
they where about 430psi when new and Isuzu recommended over hall point is 375psi.
but ive seen these things run with as little as 275 on one piston and around 325/350 on the others. still starts ok but very lacking in power. with that low of compression, it would do 60mph and thats it.
the other big thing is the frame thats a killer to the auto, unless your willing to pach it up.
the easiest way to tell is, does the cab and bed have the same gap at the top as the bottem, if its narrow at the top then you have a frame that needs some TLC at the very least for off road farm use.
just about the only place you will find new diesel spec parts is Jerry, he does not post on this board just isuzupup.com and some other boards
he sells OEM parts 10% over his cost. hes located in the S/E of the usa
