1992 Isuzu Pickup LS review from North America
"Great value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
123,000: Aluminum head began cracking and warping, evidently this is a common problem at 120,000.
123,000: A Civic tried to turn right from the left lane. His axle was sticking out of the side of his car, but I only slightly damaged the right front frame.
Had the A/C converted from Freon.
139,000: Water pump failed, radiator stopped radiating, heater core leaks.
I put in the water pump myself and disconnected the A/C because it just didn't work like it used to. I can't find a aftermarket heater core.

General comments?
Don't ever use carpet cleaner on the carpet, it will dissolve the asphalt and turn the carpet brown.
I expect to have over 200,000 miles on this truck before having to replace/rebuild the powertrain components.
