Lifters making noise at 60,000, was told it was normal for Trooper by a friend who once was a service advisor for a Nissan/Isuzu dealer. He stated that the most reliable vehicles in the shop were the Nissan Pathfinder and the Trooper.
This vehicle is very spacious, can fit my family of four on a weeks vacation. And my buddies hunting.
Very solid suspension off road.
I was hit by a 1992 Volvo Wagon last winter, she was doing 50 mph, I was going around 20mph during a snow storm. Her vehicle was totaled. I replaced a fender and door. SOLID SOLID SOLID!!!
Do you have lifter problems with this 95 trooper? If so what did you do to resolve this problem? I have been told to switch my oil from 10w/30 to 5w/30? just trying to get rid of the knocking noise. Any suggestions would be great.
I was told by my Maintenance advisor that it could be either a clogged oil pickup tube in the pan or the lifters. This seems to be a reasonable cause of the ticking problem either way next Monday I will be having the lifters changed and the tube checked. I have 168000 miles on this vehicle and have been very happy with it. Hopefully it'll be running for another 10 years.
