Rust
Front Oil seal.
The Trooper was given to me by my son
because of the rear leaf spring holders
rusted off the frame. That was a easy
fix for me and I drove it to death and
it would not break!
The ONLY reason the Trooper had no power
for a lot of people is because they used
BIG tires.. Mine *was* that way also. I
removed the tires and replaced with
factory size tires and had all the power
you would ever want PLUS better gas mileage.
I sold it for parts because the frame
was getting really bad. The guy that
bought it from me is STILL driving it
as a around town car..
I feel 86 was the best year for the
Trooper because it was the last year
before computer controlled engines took
over.
I rate the 86 from 1 to 10 and 10 being
the best, a 15!
I never could find ANY American made
SUV that held up like the 86 Trooper!
Thanks! I just bought an 86 for cheap and am changing the oil tomorrow.
Wish we can chat somehow.
