varies by country and engine and year
my guess if in usa, 96 is same.
you can look, and find it.
isuzu does have many places.. to hide it.

do you hear a clicking sound if yes its your starter motor needs replacing, if nothing then it could just ur solenoid needs replacing, worth checking ur main ground leads on battery and down on chassis and engine are tight

Sounds like you may have a blown head gasket,white smoke is usually caused by this,driving it can cause major damage,best to have towed to a shop.

The first thing is to check the auto trans fluid level, with the engine idling. If it is low, top it up, but if very dark or burned smelling, renew it altogether.

A "leak down" test will test the cylinder effectiveness, as will a compression test. These will tell you how good the engine is.

Ya sounds like the electric shift solenoid. Problem with electrical. Will not give you a warning. Will go bad in a heartbeat. You can try unhooking plug that gos into the trans and spray electrical cleaner on it. plug back in. Wiggle some wires and maybe find one loose or broken wire or connection and hope for the best. But its probably the tranny with that many miles. Go to Advance Auto Parts they usually scan your car for free for codes. Good luck

How much is a little oil? 1 quart(US) in 5000 miles is reasonable oil consumption. If you don't have any major leaks, the oil is going out the exhaust pipe. As the engine wears the piston rings dont seal as well as they used too and the oil gets burned in the combustion process. You didnt mention how many miles you have on the vehicle, An engine with 150,000-175,000 is going to burn a little oil..

Classic Trooper problem. You can get a lot of quiet(er) troublefree miles out of your Trooper with religious, regular oil changes. Isuzu is now advising the use of Mobil 1 0w30 synthetic motor oil, changed at 5000 mi intervals to quiet the lifter tapping that you're experiencing. If you're a DIYer, you can pick up 5qt jugs of this oil at Walmart for $23-$26. -Or, you can buy the basic oil change and provide your own Mobil 1 0w30 to the tech to keep the costs down.

It'll take 150-300 miles for the noise to settle down after the fresh oil change. Keep a close eye on your oil dipstick. As soon as you're coming close to a quart low, top it back up. The 3.2l motor will start tapping again when the oil level drops or is near the time to change. Forget the advice about the belt tensioner needing to be replaced. That is rarely the source of the noise. I have two Troopers, Christophe. They're the ones that aren't tapping like crazy at the traffic light. Enjoy your Troop. -Geoff

I had the same problem.

When you had the transmission fluid changed, were you able to change the filter also. If not give it a try? Its possible that the filter is clogged. Did you have a look at the transmission fluid when you drained them? i mean the colour, smell? and if there were metal particles in the fluid. If there were metal particles in the fluid I suggest you overhaul the tanny(thats if you can find someone who can rebuid the tanny) or have it replaced with a surplus tanny.

600 perquart miles is a piston ring sealing issue, U don't say the miles on the car, but it is rings.
