Hi, Jerry. Welcome to the site.

Jack

Welcome to the site. That oughta clean up nicely.

Jack

Yeah, mine had collected quite a bit of rust and debris.

Jack

Welcome. Now I'll have to Google the 1jzgte, I have no clue...

I'm no expert here, but it seems pointless to have the electric fan coming on before the thermostat opens. The 185º fan thermostat makes more sense to me. I don't know what the "200" means. It can't be both. Does that mean it comes on somewhere in that range?

Jack

I added that screenshot to your post. Nice catch!

Jack

Yes, if you can find one. We used to have one in town and I used them to rebuild my alternator. But the cheap Chinese imports (not specifically for Isuzu) have made it hard for those shops to stay in business. It's like trying to find a TV repair shop. Nobody repairs TVs now, they're throwaways when...

Great idea, Paul. I may do that, thanks!

Welcome, Art. Have we seen you on the PlanetIsuzoo.com forum?

Jack

Sounds like you're referring to the EGR pipe. I had the same thing on my 2.6L Amigo.

Opinions seem to vary on removal. I won't wade into that discussion, since I'm a novice when it comes to gasoline engines.

I give up, but I don't know the gas engines. As far as I know, carb'ed would indicate a 2.3--but for all I know, the 3.1 may be carb'ed. Maybe someone else here will know how to diagnose.

Jack

The engine probably matters. Some are EFI, some are carb'ed.

Jack

Great price. Which engine do you have?

Jack

Hey again, John. It just occurred to me that you're also on the LUVTruck.com site, and we've had some communication there. Welcome.
