We had Isuzu npr and Mitsubishi fuso trucks at my Dads shop back in the 90s and early 2000s, prior to those they ran E350 econolines. The Isuzu’s were tough. Half were gas. All were rode hard. Never any major issues. Also those trucks have the GM 4L80E trans.
I think your starting issue is down to fuel draining back into the tank after it's been stopped for a while. There's a lot of height difference between the fuel line at the tank and the carb, so a single fuel pump can struggle to prime and supply fuel after it's been idle. Fitting a second fuel pump near the tank along with one up near the engine will help cure the problem, this is what is done often in fuel injection and diesel vehicles, you have a fuel lift pump at the tank and then the injector pump at the engine. The best option would be to find a pump with a non-return valve to maintain the prime or to fit a non-return valve between the tank and the first, lift pump and that'll help cure the problem. It'll also mean the fuel pump up by the engine lasts a lot longer as it's not trying to pull the fuel up from the tank and pump it into the float chamber as that'll be what's killing the fuel pumps, they're having to work too hard which means they're running too much and, inevitably, burning out...
Thats a pretty sick truck dude. How many tons would hat truck be? I'd assume it'd be bigger than a 1 ton. I always have wondered too out of curiosity what it is you do for work? I always assume we are a welder or machinist or something of the sort but was always still curious lol
The gvw on it is only 11,000lbs so I guess it's technically a 1 ton. I'm a wholesaler. I get vehicles and equipment and fix it up and sell it. I've been doing that for 10 + years now. I'm opening a repair shop on one of my properties this year. I'm just waiting for permit approval so I can start construction.
@@NOT_FOR_HIRE Wow I thought it'd be a lot higher, that would be about a. tons rating. The GVWR on my new to me 06 3500 dually I told you about has a GVWR of 11,400 lbs if I'm not mistaken. Once I figure out my computer (old one died) I'll make some videos with my new truck & gooseneck, I'm pretty excited to do some content on it lol. Also that's really cool that you sell & buy vehicles and machinery for your full time job. A repair shop would be wicked to have for yourself, hopefully they approve your permit so you can get it under way soon :)
Mine has 245,000 miles. I haven't really had any issues besides a fuel pump so I'm not sure what to look for. I'd just make sure there isn't any frame rot. The cab titling makes everything easy to inspect.

Nice truck. Lots of room to work on the engine.

I love the flatbed truck
Once they start on ether once, they will never start without it again
Seafoam should fix that starting issue. Worked on my old '94 chevy obs
Nice truck. Good price.
My truck used to hard start like that after a couple of years the fuel pump went afterward when replaced it started right up!
I just took the dielse out of mine for my bagged madza then swapped a ls in the isuzu 😂 cool
Did you mate ls to isuzu trans?
Well...i have found your channel and subscribed
Few years ago I was looking at a LKQ truck up here in Akron Ohio and a damn thing had a 350 small block in it Chevy not an LS about had a heart attack
I didnt know they had them until i bought mine either!
check the return line check valve on or near the fuel tank it may be losing prime because the valve is open
Have you ever replaced the fuel filter on that isuzu?
I’m looking to purchase an npr tow truck for my roadside assistance business in New Hampshire
How long is the bed?
Had no clue there were 350s in these!
Toyota Land cruisers on the early days had GM drivetrain
Loving the sbc Isuzu , btw what's your name boss and what's your occupation when not working on the square bodies
Mike and I fix things up and sell them.
Check the return line on the fuel system maybe the problem....

Your right. Let them sit they go to hell. Love it. Cool truck and the price was great.
I'm looking at one of these in a few days anything I should look for? How many miles does yours have? This one has 222k
