RESURRECTING A ISUZU NPR

- Today I work on a Isuzu NPR that's been sitting for years! Will it start? I have faith it will! Not sure what I'm going to do with this yet. Maybe use the drive train for a swap?!

Grease the heck out if the king pins they have a tendency to freeze up from sitting !
Got the same truck around the same time around Oct 2019. Runs good I turned up the fuel pump a bit gives it a little more juice. Keep the truck in one piece and make money with it.
I was very excited to view your video! I just picked up a 4 door version of this truck that won't run for fueling issues. I can't wait to get it home and start tinkering. These are pretty neat trucks!
Thanks for watching! They are cool trucks.
I need this truck for semi trailer repairs. Thank for the video,I like your positive attitude, thanks buddy.
Thanks for watching! It's a cool truck!
What a shame for a great truck to sit so long. I'd love to have that truck and there's one just rotting away. :( This has become basically my favorite vehicle now to consider for conversion. Bit awkward but I think the potential with a crew cab version for an RV is tremendous. I wonder how loud / comfortable to drive it is.
It’s a great truck we own one
24v battery is usually for applications like dumping. Reefer. Towing, crane and cement mixers
When the battery voltage is low you always get that weird almost like a pump sound going on when you try and start it....or it has set there for a while. I put two solar panels in the front window with a charge controller to keep the batteries up!
I would definitely drain the fuel tank before attempting any cranking. Water from condensation in the fuel can be $7,000 in blown fuel injectors. Those isuzu water seperatros are minimal in effectiveness
I drove one just like it when I worked for the coin company! It had 281,000 miles on it lol
Cool video. Was thinking of tackling a project like this. Might be able to get a 97' for dirt cheap...would need to work on getting salvo title for her.
Go for it!
That looks so easy to work on
What did you do with this truck? J.C. Smith recently put up a video of repairing king pins, disc brakes, and wheel bearings.
I had one that the king pins we partially frozen up. Squirted some acetone/power steering fluid thru the grease Zirk’s and freed up the steering.
Nice tip! They're built pretty well!
how did you clear the zirks? what did you use to "Squirt it through"
@@stitchthisditchthat259 unscrew the grease fittings, pump oil can with acetone and transmission fluid 50/50 mix,stick oil can tip where grease fittings were start pumping, start truck, turn left, squirt more, turn right, squirt more,repeat, repeat, repeat, squirt, squirt,turn,squirt,turn. Keep going until it frees up. Then replace grease fittings. And grease, turn the wheels, grease some more turn wheels,grease. The mechanic was going to r3place the kingpins,big bucks. It didn’t need kingpins.
Nice imfo I do have a question Do you know where's the PCV Valve espesific for this Engine ??????????????
Another great video! Parallel is positive to positive negative to negative this keeps voltage 12 vdc and doubles the amps.... Series is positive from one battery to negative on the other battery, the other positive and negative terminals left will give you double voltage 24vdc and the same amps
Thanks, that sounds correct!
Would running that in 24volts hurt anything or help starting ?
@@thedieselnut1988 It would cause most, if not all electrical components to fail!
That's saying sure would make you a nice little roll back if you took the Box off of it I found you a rollback bed to put on it and that would solve your problem with having to use your trailer all the time
That could be cool! Not sure I would use it enough to justify the insurance and tags though.
What OBD Scanner will read the error codes for this truck? I have tried a few scanners on my NPR but none of them want to work. any help would be much appreciated
Yup, 12v pos to pos, neg to neg, for 24v i use reg battery, but have 4 in my 6x6 an jump pos to neg, but trk cable hooks pos to pos, i gotta watch cause if hook wrong can make 48v sys vs 24 using 4 betteries
Nice, thanks! I thought it was something like that.
What model batteries are these?
That steering problem he had are the king pins they are brutal to get grease in them.u have to grease them once a month.oh yeah power steering pump went bye bye.
Can you access the engine thru the seat or you have to tilt the cab just for maintenance like changing oil and filling coolant
Can't access through the interior, but you can check oil and coolant without tilting the cab. Tilting the cab is almost as easy as popping a hood though.
What's the status on the NPR? New sub here. You have a lot of great content.
Thanks for the sub! It's actually just been sitting still. I was waiting for the title and just got it. Time to do something with it I guess!
I understand about the title situation. It can take some time.
Hi. You don't chek in oil level.
You got lucky sell it quick very little info on these trucks unless you speak a foreign language, injection pump is a $2500 rebuild if you can find anyone had to ship out of state
Batteries are 12v. There in parallel and should never be 24v. That will destroy the computer
The sound that would come on everytime you hit the brakes; did you ever find the issue and what was it?
It was low on power steering fluid, it's hydro boost so the brake alarm kept going off.
@@slow_restoration appreciate the follow up. Stay Safe, Stay Blessed
👏🙂
Hey man would there be anyway you would be able to talk to me tomorrow afternoon i need some advice on my 77 nova 350 sb
Sorry missed tomorrow! DM me on Instagram. Hopefully I can help.
Would you happen to know where I could find an old model like this for cheap? Around the 3k range? I would like to turn one into a camper
This one is for sale. Are you local?
slow_restoration I’m in Houston tx. What part of town are you in?
@@deathuponusalll I'm in PA southern
slow_restoration how much are you selling it for?
$2500
I wanna truck like that ilike u video from phillipines
I have an npr I call it a living nightmare.brake master cylinder went.oil line rotted out.heater core blew up domaged engine.starter went.king pins froze up and are a constant problem.back door jammed up.locking cab to frame cracked.no grease fittings for steering linkage.lug nuts brutal to get off.and it just broke down again.dont buy one used run.ive had more problems I can't remember them all.
They're reliable, but like all mechanical devices they're used and beat to death. You can't really buy these cheap and expect to put a full service workload on them and expect them to hold up. You can buy a beater one for light usage.
Nice
Thanks!
