Cobbo: Since we have a drive by wire system, the sensor probably broke. I wouldn't worry about it so long as they fix it. I pout 25K on my trooper the first year, although now, almost 2 months into the 2nd year, I have only put on about 1500miles since I want this truck to last for it will be irreplaceable!

I was pulling into a parking lot, and just idling as I coasted around looking for a spot and the AC started gettting warmer. What I realized was that the Trooper was idling at around 500rpm, whereas it normally idles at about 800. i guess the AC compressor kicks off below about 600 or so? Anyway I drove it back out on the road, ac got cold, and came back to the parking lot and the idle sat around 800 with cold air coming out for 10 minutes parked (had to go to work after that)..
Anyway, anyone else evee had this happen?

Now ya'll have a nice weekend and lets move past this unbecoming incident...
-Cobbo
PS. For anyone who cares, the part was installed this am & appears to have done the job as I put on another 200+ miles today without incident & was able to actually accelerate off the line (which was a welcome change)...hasty lumbegoes...
As to the earlier posts on what is a good deal, I am paying 26,500 and am very pleased. Comments quickly please... I am supposed to buy in about 14 hours!
In 1999 I purchased a "Luxury" Trooper which is equivalent to the Limited and paid $26,788.25 Cash plus a tradein worth approx $3,000.00. This included all taxes, tags, etc.
I assume the Limited includes the same accessories as the "Performance" and "Luxury" packages offered in 1999 which are Leather, Moon Roof, Spyder Wheels, CD changer, Multimeter, fog lamps, simulated wood trim, etc.
I thought I got a great price but your price is even better!!
Any ideas what will happen to parts availability when Troopers end??????????????????

The dealer told me about the plans for the Trooper and its not pretty. After next year Isuzu will be putting the Trooper name on a refined GM Envoy that will have a third seat. For anyone who loves Troopers, this should make the last of the real ones a valuable commidity. However it will be a long wait for mine, because at 12,000 miles/year it will be a long time to 200000 miles!

cdpar5in2 if you are in western PA and are interested in the NJ trailride let me know.

Basically going to be a relatively easy trail ride Sept 15th in the Pine Barrens of NJ. Between Philly and A/C is the area known as the Pine Barrens. It's shaping up to have anywhere from 10-20 Isuzus, and possibly 20+ Subies.

On another topic, my new trooper is loaded but does not have running boards. The dealer says to install standard boards will run $510 for everything, including labor. Any clue if this is a good price? Is there a market for running boards outside of the dealers?

To reinstall you can put the brackets on the grille and then pop the grille/brackets back into the housing. Or, for me it seemed much easier to put the brackets back in the housing and then pop the grille into the brackets/housing.
I am sure I have made it sound more complicated than it is. Just don't use too much force and you will be fine.

As you can see from that picture on Mikes website, the 265s are no problem whatsoever - even with that extreme articulation, no rubbing at all!
Also of interest in that picture (other than Bruce Anderson running for his life) is that I am on the very edge of a precipice...the reason Bruce is running forward of me is that the only other escape is down, WAY down! Man, Moab was fun!

Your tires appear to be Pirelli Scorps, how many miles have you put on them, and how are they wearing. It looks like you added a couple of turns to the T-Bars too, It looks very well balanced. That rock ride is pretty impressive. Moab looked like a blast!
The black helps the ice/snow melt off faster, which sound weird after all the 90+ days we have had this summer. The real reason I ended up with black is because it was the only PP left without a moonroof in the surrounding 5-state area. I like it, though. Not a liability to have black vehicles up here, very common.
Haven't noticed any unusual wear on the Scorps, but I only have about 8K miles on 'em. I believe the warranty was 40K. Sears has been unable to quite balance them correctly, though...not sure if the tires are to blame or just incompetent service.
The AT Scorps did great in Moab, grippier than mud tires on the sandstone bedrock. You get AMAZING traction out there, and it was a blast. I definitely will be returning.
How bout them Vikings....looked good last week!
