Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024?

Isuzu Trooper 4WD Actuator Problems

I have a 1997 trooper. One of the vacuum cylinders on the 4WD actuator has some corrosion and will cause the 4WD to not engage. I can disassemble the actuator and clean up the corrosion and it will work fine for a few weeks until the corrosion builds up again.

I have searched local salvage yards for a used part with no success. I found a new part online for $215.00, but wanted to see if there are other options before I shelled out the money for the new part.

Is there anything I can do to modify the system or should I just get the new part?

Any advice would be appreciated...thanks!

    I turned the hoses to form a loop that discontinued this function. Then replaced factory hubs with Aisic hubs.

    Works great--more power, 1 more mile per gallon gas mileage.

    Only thing is you have to leave in lock if you want shift on the fly or get out and turn them to lock to run in 4x4.

    Pretty clever. Reminds me of my old CJ-5 days with the locking hubs.
